A look ahead to the 2011 Open, the 140th Open Championship at Royal St George's, a venue that will be hosting the event for the 14th time. English chances rest with Lee Westwood and Luke Donald, and hopes are high that one of them could become the first English winner on home soil since Tony Jacklin triumphed at Royal Lytham St Anne's in 1969. 

But the bookmakers' favourite is 22-year-old Rory McIlroy, who sensationally won the US Open last month. The Northern Irishman stormed to victory to claim his first major title, breaking a host of records along the way. 

Also in the show is a guide to Royal St George's, a course that is set to provide a stern test to the world's best players due to its unusual layout and quirky features.
