This is the bottom of the final leader board from last year's British Open at Royal Troon. As you can see, a stellar field of golfing superstars who stood a much greater chance of winning the British Open than the nobodies who polluted The Masters' field, which, as Lefty is always fond of reminding us, is the weakest of the majors.
Again, your field is not strong merely because you have 156 players in it. At both Open Championships, fully one-fourth of those fields have absolutely zero chance of winning the event.
