The Outlook

Armour is the rare golfer in his 40s who is making major fields for the first time. The British Open was his first ever major appearance, and he'll look to make the cut this time around. Armour has a nice all-around game and is especially adept at hitting fairways and greens. In fact, his driving accuracy is one of the best marks in the field. That will be helpful at Bellerive, although his lack of distance will keep him from really moving up the leaderboard.
