The Open Championship starts Thursday at Royal Troon Golf Course on Scotland 's west coast .
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won six times in his past 10 starts on tour.
Rory McIlroy will try to end a nearly 10-year drought without a major championship victory.
The Open is typically the most wide-open of the four majors, which is how it produced previous champions.
The par-5 sixth hole at Royal Troon is now 623 yards , making it the longest in Open history.
Par-3 eighth is 123 yards long, but its small green of about 2,500 square feet makes for a not-so-easy target.
The forecast calls for temperatures from the mid-60s to high 60s and a chance of rain showers.
Brian Harman hasn't won again since his runaway victory at The Open.
He has three top-10s and 10 top-25s in 18 starts this season .
"I don't think you ever really know what you're capable of until something like that happens," Harman says.
