Hello and welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the Open Championship...
The year's final Major is less than a week away as the world's best descend on Royal Portrush, which plays host to The Open for the first time since 1951.
Some of the field will be getting one last weekend of links work in at the Scottish Open this week, while others, including former champion Darren Clarke, have already been practising on the Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush.
Francesco Molinari became Italy's first ever Major champion with his win at Carnoustie last year and will look to defend his title, and prevent a clean sweep of American winners across the four biggest titles, next week.
