Will world number one Dustin Johnson land an overdue second Major? Can Justin Rose put a poor Open record behind him to thrill the British crowds? Is Rickie Fowler ready to finally make his breakthrough? Will Rory McIlroy end his near four-year winning drought in Majors? Can defending champion Jordan Spieth rediscover his sparkle with putter in hand?

The 147th Open Championship is full of fascinating storylines – Masters hero Patrick Reed and US Open victor Brooks Koepka join the names already mentioned in an ultra-competitive third Major of the season – but the Carnoustie stage looks perfect for the greatest script of them all to unfold. The most prolific Major champion in the field could be set to lift the Claret Jug for a fourth time, 12 years since his last Open success.
