Open Profile
The South African has finished no worse than 10th place in his last four Open Championship starts. A proven performer at the highest level with an ice-cool temperament to match, Goosen will be many people's idea of a potential winner this week. However, he does not arrive at the very peak of his powers and any flaw in his technique will be exposed in what is expected to be a stern examination set by Royal Liverpool.
