Tiger Woods will look to turn his non-major momentum into success this weekend at the British Open where he has won three times in his career.
Meanwhile, defending tournament champion Darren Clarke will hope to rediscover the calmness that led him to his first career major win at Royal St. George's in 2011.
Here is what the biggest stars at Royal Lytham & St. Annes must do to remain in contention this summer.
