The big interest in this year's richest (ã50,000) 101st Open centres around Jack Nicklaus. Can he grab the 'grand slam'? He took the US Masters in April, the US Open last month and, depending on the outcome at Muirfield, next month he can complete a clean sweep in the US PGA championships in Michigan. News of all the 150 qualifiers is reported from Muirfield by Harry Carpenter.
