GRAEME McDOWELL has pointed out another potential problem for Rory McIlroy when he returns to action at the British Open next week.

Tiger Woods only played the back nine at Kingston Heath this morning and, afterwards, wasn’t letting on whether that was all he needed or all he could cope with in conditions that were “hot as hell”.

Thomas Bjorn has an early-morning date with Tiger Woods at Carnoustie on Monday - and once he has kept it he will have either good or bad news for all of Europe’s top players.

Gusty winds got the best of every player at the Legends of Golf except Irishman Des Smyth.
