On the back of tipping Alex Noren to win the Scottish Open last week, Ben Coley has five selections for The 145th Open at Royal Troon. Bobby Cox Jersey ... Get a Sky Sports Pass Dont miss The Open. Watch live on NOW TV for ￡10.99. No contract. Royal Troon returns as host for The Open Championship, 12 years on from the shock success of unheralded American Todd Hamilton.Hamilton was close to the worlds top 50 at the time but arrived out of sorts and without any links form, yet somehow managed to overcome Ernie Els in a four-hole play-off for the Claret Jug. One thing which shouldnt have surprised anyone was the nationality of the winner, as there have now been six American wins in a row at Troon dating back over half a century. With that in mind, it might pay to side with another this week.Top of the list is Jordan Spieth, who so nearly won last years Open only to just miss out on a play-off won by friend and compatriot Zach Johnson. James Haddock takes you through all the key groupings for the first round of The Open Spieth was looking for his third straight major win at the time so arrives with a little less pressure on his shoulders one year on, especially as its Dustin Johnson and Jason Day whove taken over at the top of world golf.On what is a classical in-and-out links, one which doesnt lend much of an advantage to power, Spieths ability to manufacture a score even when hes not at his best sets him apart as the strongest candidate from the top of the market. Here are all the ways to watch The Open with Sky Sports Last time out he finished third on a long course to set himself up perfectly for this altogether more subtle challenge and its significant that this years schedule enabled him to land in Scotland last Saturday and get plenty of homework done.Pick of the European challenge comes from Martin Kaymer, who has been seventh and 12th in previous Opens and arrives in great form. Martin Kaymer has posted three top-10s in his past five starts With two majors already in the locker, there is no doubt the German has what it takes to win a Claret Jug and his links form includes wins in the KLM Open and the Dunhill Links.He played well in Scotland last week, continuing the fine form hes shown on European soil throughout the spring, and looks primed to challenge with his long game under control and the putter working nicely.Those hoping for a winner even closer to home should consider Russell Knox and Sunday qualifier Richie Ramsay, but Englands Chris Wood has even better credentials and looks good each-way value. Chris Wood claimed a two-shot win in Austria last summer Woods career has really taken off this year, with his second European Tour title coming via the flagship event at Wentworth, and hes continued to play good golf, including at the US Open where he finished inside the top 25.Having twice hit the frame in The Open when still wet behind the ears, he has every reason to be confident heading to the type of golf course on which he thrives thanks to a piercing ball-flight and great imagination. Wood played a lot of golf with Danny Willett as a youngster and has clearly taken inspiration from the exploits of his compatriot, so it would be no surprise were he to quickly follow him into the major winners circle.With previous form in the biggest and best events always a good guide - two of last years play-off trio had won majors while the other had contended for them - Im finishing off with a pair of tough-as-teak grinders whove got the job done before.First is Graeme McDowell, who rediscovered something like his best form last time out and has won in windy conditions on the PGA Tour this season. Graeme McDowell finished inside the top-10 in Inverness last week McDowell has two top-10 finishes in his last four Open starts and Troon looks an ideal fit for his game.The same goes for Padraig Harrington, who was tied for fifth behind Justin Leonard here in 1997. Padraig Harrington is a three-time major champion Harrington has been inside the top 30 in each of his last three starts including when tuning up for this at Castle Stuart, and at three-figure prices always looks value on an old-fashioned links like this one.Watch the Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports - your new home of the Open - or for £10.99 with NOW TV Also See: Ways to watch the Open First round tee times The Open latest news Golf live on Sky Sports Deion Sanders Jersey .

Vogel still believes Indiana can get there without overhauling the roster. The Pacers have already answered one key question: Vogel will return as coach. When asked iff his appearance Monday was indicative he would be back next season, Vogel simply said: "Yes. Anthony Swarzak Braves Jersey. " Now comes the hard part.
