Rory McIlroy is aiming to bounce back from his heartbreak at the US Open, while World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler looks to round off a stunning season when the British Open begins in Troon on Thursday. 

The final major of the year gives McIlroy the chance to quickly forget blowing two short putts at Pinehurst last month which cost him the chance to end a decade-long major drought as Bryson DeChambeau won by one shot.
