Eight years ago, Thomas Bjorn had a two-stroke lead, with three holes to play, but failed to win the Open Championship, as Ben Curtis came from behind to captured the Claret Jug.
That event was held at Royal St. George's, where the 2011 tournament is also taking place.
Luke Donald and Lee Westwood enter the 140th Open Championship as the top-ranked players in thw orld, despite not having a major championship to their credit.
Will that change for one of the two British golfers, in their homeland?
