Tee times and pairings: Thursday's first round – in UAE time
The last six British Opens held at Royal Troon have been won by Americans and Dustin Johnson, the most in-form player in golf, looks like he has all the credentials to make it seven in a row for the United States this weekend.
Not only did Johnson, 32, follow up his victory at last month’s US Open by capturing the prestigious WGC-Bridgestone Invitational title in Ohio, he also has a good record to boast about in the world’s oldest major.
