25 players who could cause an upset at The Open

The 148th Open Championship is set to get underway at Royal Portrush on Thursday. Italian Francesco Molinari won the event last year in Scotland, finishing two shots clear of a plethora of players. There are multiple high-profile favourites heading into the final major of the year, including Masters champion Tiger Woods, home favourite Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Molinari and Brooks Koepka. However, as many know, any of the players competing could end up lifting the Claret Jug, so we’ve taken a look at 25 players who could cause an upset in Northern Ireland and lift the prestigious trophy come Sunday.
