The best golfers in the world will battle during the 2023 Open Championship this weekend at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in the fourth and final major of the year.
Here are five picks to win in Hoylake from the Post’s golf columnist Mark Cannizzaro:
This will not only complete his resurgence but deliver the signature win of his career.
Fowler is trending, finishing T5 at the U.S. Open, shot 60 at the Travelers Championship and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic for his first victory in four years.
He, too, finished runner-up to Rory McIlroy in the 2014 Open the last time it was played at Hoylake.
Well, he’s ranked No. 2 in the world, won the Scottish Open on Sunday and won the Open the last time it was at Hoylake, in 2014.
He, however, hasn’t won a major since 2014, going on 10 years. So, there is psychological baggage to deal with.
Ranked No. 1 in the world and has seven consecutive top-5 finishes, including a T3 at the Scottish last week?
Scheffler has finished in the top-12 in 19 consecutive starts, which means he’s almost always in contention.
He’s won four times this year, including the Masters.
The little-known player from Poland has got game and he has wins, too, at the Irish Open, Italian Open and Australian Open.
This is only his sixth major, having finished tied for 42nd at last year’s Open.
