The European tour enters the final straight this week with the champion of this event collecting half a million Euros.
Several big names to look out for include :
Ernie Els: The South African has only once finsihed lower then seventh In six appearances at the Links Championship.Padraig Harrington: Twice previous winner in 2002 & 2006.
Raphael Jacquelin: Average of 70.47 in his most recent 17 rounds in the event leaves us wondering if he can become the first non UK player to lift the trophy.Justin Rose: Making a rare visit to Europe, to try and beat his 2nd place from last year. Should be full of confidence from his Ryder Cup exploits.
Henrik Stenson: Three top 10 finishes in his last five St Andrews visits.
Lee Westwood: Winner in 2003, and a strong possibilty of topping this year’s Order of Merit. An unlucky runner up at the Belfry last week.
