Latest news, interviews, highlights and build-up ahead of The 152nd Open at Royal Troon, where Brian Harman returns as defending champion and Tiger Woods features.
Tiger says he reached out to Rory McIlroy in the wake of his heart-breaking finish at the US Open last month:'I just sent him a nice text. That was it. I waited a week before I sent it... I wanted to let it calm down, as I know he was being besieged by a lot of different things going on.'It basically went, as you know, I'm your friend. I know this is a difficult moment. We've all been there as champions. We all lose.
'Unfortunately it happened, and the raw emotion of it, it's going to be there for, I'm sure, some time. The faster he's able to get back on a horse and get back into contention, like he did last week, the better it is for him.'There's a lot of times I felt discomfort, absolutely. Nervous, shaky, uncomfortable, all of it. I've missed plenty of putts. I've missed plenty of shots.
