The Senior Open Tips

Harrington's recent U.S. Senior Open victory demonstrates peak form with superior scrambling and putting on demanding greens. This perfectly suits Sunningdale's precision requirements. His mental edge in majors and European experience make him a strong pick despite the odds.

Alker's top strokes gained rankings and bogey avoidance shine in accuracy-focused setups like Sunningdale. Recent top-5s show momentum, positioning him well in a field where putting consistency can separate contenders.

Jimenez's explosive final round at the U.S. Senior Open highlights his birdie-making prowess and short-game creativity. Ideal for Sunningdale's tricky approaches, he is a consistent senior major contender with wind-handling skills from European tours.

Legendary senior performer with multiple U.S. Senior Open wins; recent T6s despite injury recovery. Excellent driving accuracy (75%) and GIR (78%); mental clutch factor high, though age-related power loss may challenge longer holes.

Top fifteen last three times here, including a Senior Open 1st place win back in 2023 when tying with Padraig Harrington and beating him in a playoff. Tied 2nd in the American Family Insurance back in June, and finished top ten from six in seven tournaments between November last year and March this year.

Goosen's birdie-making and tee-to-green reliability fit Sunningdale. Recent senior wins and wind experience boost his chances for a solid finish in moderate conditions.

14th back in 2023 and went on to win here last year by two clear shots with a ten under par finish across four rounds. 2nd in the James Hardy back in April, but has been a little bit off form since.
