The Open is back as the world's top golfers arrive at Royal Birkdale for one of the toughest tournaments of the year.

The Open always creates an enthralling four days of golf and this year looks set to be another closely fought championship.

Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose will all be looking to perform well at Royal Birkdale although no golfer from Great Britain or Northern Ireland has ever won The Open here.

McIlroy, the current world number one, has had a tricky year which has been hampered by back and rib issues.

Speaking about his torrid year and pain from his injuries, McIlroy said: "It is something I am going to have to manage until the end of the year."

"I am just going to have a nice rest period when I don't have to touch a club and let it heal. Then hopefully I'll be 100% for next year."
