Both Ogilvy and Furyk have the game and patience to do well on this course and could very well be in the mix among the leaders on Sunday afternoon as the crunch time on the back nine comes into play.

Defending British Open champion Stewart Cink will be paired with Ian Poulter and former champion Ernie Els so this year's winner could come from this group. Els finished second to Woods at the 2000 championship at St. Andrews and has a dozen Top 10 British Open finishes. The colorful Poulter came in second at the 2008 British Open to Padraig Harrington at Royal Birkdale.

Harrington, a two-time British Open champion, enters this event with five Top 10 finishes this year.

The highest ranked European in the event, Lee Westwood at number three in the world, is also a player to watch out for as the tournament winds down.

Though the Englishman did tie for third last year, Westwood blew a golden opportunity when he bogeyed the 72nd hole to finish one stroke outside the playoff. Still, a strong motivation and having all the tools make him a good pick to be in the winner's circle.

Retief Goosen, a two-time U.S. Open champion, has seven top 10s in the British Open, including a T-5 at St. Andrews in 2005. His distance off the tee will serve him well at the Old Course.

Combining that driving distance and accuracy with his talent as one of the world's best mid-range pressure putters, which is something that will certainly be an advantage on the massive greens that average nearly 18,000 square feet, the South African has the game to win it all.
