17 July 2012

Tiger Woods and Justin Rose have been paired together at The Open for the fourth time.

The duo, who will be joined by Spain’s Sergio Garcia, were also partners at Muirfield in 2002, Carnoustie in 2007 and St Andrews two years ago.

They tee off at Royal Lytham at 9.42am in the first round on Thursday and then 2.43pm on Friday.

Just ahead of them each day will be defending champion Darren Clarke, who begins his bid to retain the Claret Jug at 9.09am in the company of 2002 victor Ernie Els and American Zach Johnson, winner of the John Deere Classic in Illinois this weekend.

Lee Westwood, making his 58th attempt to lift a major title, is alongside Masters champion Bubba Watson and Japan’s Yoshinori Fujimoto.

World No1 Luke Donald has been paired with Phil Mickelson for an afternoon start.

Rory McIlroy is with 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen and reigning USPGA champion Keegan Bradley, followed by Padraig Harrington, Rickie Fowler and Manuel Trappel.
