| Nick Dougherty looks at the importance of making a fast start at Royal Troon and predicts how the worlds best will fare at The Open. Troon is a really great golf course and is going to be a tough test, but Im still undecided as to what the scoring will be. Its a hard layout to describe because the front nine has so many chances and then things change after the turn.Guys like Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy will be able to knock it on to the first, get it pretty close on the second, hit it on to the third and then knock it on to the par-five fourth in two. The fifth is a par-three and the sixth is reachable too, so they could feasibly have chances on all of those. Nobody would bat an eyelid if Rory McIlroy turns it all on this week and goes on to win. Nick Dougherty What well see is that guys go out there knowing they need to capitalise on the front nine. If you dont manage to do that, then it instantly puts pressure on you mentally because youve had a slow start.Everything becomes a different ball game after the turn. I feel like guys will be able to reach the turn in five under and as hard as the back nine is, they should still be able to stay close to that once theyve reached the clubhouse.If it was two nines like the back nine though, the scoring would be worse than at Oakmont because its so much more difficult. The players are turning up this week not necessarily knowing what a great performance will be. The Open on Sky How to watch The Open live on Sky Sports Calmer conditions would be a great equaliser here, but I do hope it starts blowing just to see how different the two nines will play.Unless you are out extremely early like Monty at 6.35, the wind is probably going to pick up before you get to the back nine, so theres the possibility of an advantage for the early starters.If my life depended on it and I had to pick one player to win this week, Id pick Dustin Johnson. He drives it miles and straight, which is going to be a massive advantage around here. Dustin Johnson is chasing a third win in as many starts Going into the wind, youre going to need to hit your driver and DJs going to be in play and as close to the greens as you can be.His wedge play is dynamite and hes been putting really well lately, which has separated him from the other top players of late. The big hitters do have an advantage around here.One player who has the potential of producing a really nice week is Rickie Fowler. Hes good at links golf and although his form isnt necessarily great right now, the course could just have the right feel for him. The Open on Now TV Dont miss The Open. Watch the first round of The Open for free, no contract He won the Scottish Open in similar conditions and although he has gone quiet in the past three months, he has every chance of standing here at the end of the week with the Claret Jug in his hand.It would not surprise me one bit to see Jason Day bounce back from his poor finish at the WGC this week. He almost looks puzzled when the media ask him about it, as he has already moved on and thinking ahead to the next event. Jason Day let his lead slip over the closing stretch in Ohio earlier this month Its the same with Jordan Spieth after his final round at Augusta. He doesnt seem to feel the pain and is already looking at whats coming up ahead. It might not be particularly romantic, but its what makes him one of the best players in the world.Rory McIlroy has already won this year without being anywhere near his best standard. Hes still good enough to win and has had a number of top-fives in recent starts.The fact he hasnt yet put four rounds together makes you think its not quite there, but then the consistency with results shows hes there or thereabouts. Rory McIlroys only win of the year came at the Irish Open Nobody would bat an eyelid if Rory turns it all on this week and goes on to win. I dont believe a strong wind plays into Rorys hands, as stronger winds bring in to play the errors that he has been known to make now and then.Having said that, he is mentally in a good spot, he is happy off the course, happy with his game and just waiting for it to all come together.Watch The Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports - your new home of The Open.

Yonder Alonso homered with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the game and Cameron Maybin hit an RBI bloop single with two outs in the 11th to give the Padres a 4-3 victory Saturday night. Chase Headley started the winning rally when he singled to left with two outs off Craig Stammen (0-2). Alonso walked before Maybin singled in front of right-fielder Jayson Werth. Headley easily beat the throw home. "I managed to get just enough bat on it," Maybin said. "It feels real great. Were grinding, man. It was bigger to get a win tonight. Weve been scuffling but weve been battling every night. For me it was huge because we have a chance to win the series tomorrow." Joaquin Benoit (2-0) pitched a perfect 11th for the win. Alonso tied the game at 3 in the ninth when he homered into the Jack Daniels party deck atop the right-field wall on a 1-1 pitch from Rafael Soriano. It was Alonsos fifth homer and Sorianos second blown save in 14 opportunities. Alonsos shot denied Washington rookie Blake Treinen his first big league win. Treinen was on track for the win after Ian Desmond hit a 432-foot, two-run home run with two outs in the seventh inning to give the Nationals a 3-2 lead. Cashner left with a 2-0 lead after six innings in his return from the disabled list. The tall Texan allowed only two hits, struck out five and walked one on 70 pitches. Out since mid-May with a sore right elbow, Cashner retired his final 16 batters and lowered his ERA to 2.13. "Its good having him back out there," Maybin said. "Hes a bulldog. Were confident whenever that guys out there." Cashner got in trouble in the first inning when the Nationals had runners on second and third with one out. But catcher Rene Rivera threw out Kevin Frandsen when he strayed too far off third and Ryan Zimmerman forced Adam LaRoche at second to end the inning. "It was fun to get back," Cashner said. "First inning there was a little trouble, buut it was a big throw by Rene getting that out there.dddddddddddd I think my fastball had the most movement Ive had in a long time." Nick Vincent replaced Cashner and surrendered the lead in a span of five batters. LaRoche doubled with one out and scored on Ryan Zimmermans double to right. With two outs, Desmond homered well over the 396 sign in centre field. The Padres had the potential winning run on second after Rivera doubled off the left-field wall with one out in the 10th. Chris Denorfia struck out and Everth Cabrera flied out to left. Rivera was stranded at third in the eighth after he doubled to left and was sacrificed by pinch-hitter Denorfia. Cabrera flied out to centre and Carlos Quentin, pinch-hitting for left-hander Will Venable against righty Tyler Clippard, struck out. Treinen was making his third career start. He allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out one and walked one. After his last start on May 22 his spot was skipped due to two days off. San Diego took a 2-0 lead against the rookie in the fourth on RBI doubles by Headley and Maybin. "I felt good physically," Treinen said. "I felt like I was getting myself in trouble by getting behind in counts. But I made pitches when I needed to and then in that one inning I threw some pitches out over the plate." NOTES: The Padres drafted Johnny Manziel, the Cleveland Browns quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner while at Texas A&M, in the 28th round of the MLB draft, the 837th player taken. ... The Nationals drafted Ryan Ripken, the son of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., in the 15th round. ... Nationals 3B Anthony Rendon sat out with a sore right hand.
