How the top 10 players on the World Ranking entering the British Open fared
- 6. Stewart Cink, MC, 150 (+10)
- Grade: F
What worked: It's hard to find statistical plusses in his week, but despite 61 putts, he never three-putted.
What didn't: Thursday's 75 was the result of Cink hitting just four fairways in the wind and the rain.
PGA prospects: Positive memories? Cink's first major was a T-16 in the 1996 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills.
- 7. Sergio Garcia, T-51, 297 (+17)
- Grade: D
What worked: He hit 11 fairways and 13 greens Thursday, and his first-round 72 was his week's best score.
What didn't: His scores got progressively higher, ending with a final-round 78 and rumors of an injured hand.
PGA prospects: Positive memories! Garcia was a star on Europe's 2004 Ryder Cup rout at Oakland Hills.
- 8. Steve Stricker, T-7, 292 (+12)
- Grade: B-
What worked: After nine bogeys in his first 16 holes, he only made eight more, just one on the back nine.
What didn't: Holes four through six were a bane for many players. Stricker played them in nine over par.
PGA prospects: After four MCs he's trending upward going T-29, T-18 and T-7 in his last three starts.
- 9. Justin Rose, T-70, 301 (+21)
- Grade: D
What worked: Shot 74 in the heart of the bad weather Thursday, giving hope to those who recalled 1998.
What didn't: Eight over for the first eight holes Saturday, he began the day with six bogeys and a double.
PGA prospects: He has had more success in the other majors, with two MCs, but no top-10s in five PGAs.
- 10. Vijay SIngh, MC, 151 (+11)
- Grade: F
What worked: Like Phil and Ernie he rebounded Friday, but his 71 wasn't enough to overcome Thursday's 80.
What didn't: Got a bad break with the draw Thursday and never recovered. He called the day "miserable."
PGA prospects: Now 15th on the World Ranking, Singh was T-7 at the 1996 U.S. Open.
