Canadians Could Fare Well?

Hello. Although I haven't had much exposure to Royal Liverpool, by the sounds of it, Mike Weir and Stephen Ames could do well.
The course seems to be relatively short (7,200 par 72). Add to that hot dry conditions, and length may not be as much of a factor as it usually is in the British Open, where wind and rain can increase the yardage.
Then there are slow greens. British Open greens have to be slower because if they cut the greens down to PGA Tour level, the ball could blow off the greens. We saw in the US Open that some players, including Tiger Woods, didn't like slow greens.
What will be the key to victory? Accuracy. Both off the tee and onto the green. Weir and Ames have shown this year they have what it takes to hit the ball accurately. Whether they can do that in this major remains to be seen.
Other predictions? Well, I don't think any of the "Big 5" are going to win. That's a powerful statement I know but between them they only have 3 British Opens (Tiger 2, Els 1). Both of Tiger's wins were at St Andrews. Els hasn't shown me he's recovered from the knee surgery. Goosen says his game is in rough shape. Singh has struggled with the driver and putter at times this year. And Mickelson has struggled with the US Open memory.
I see the following doing battle (in alphabetical order):

Ames
Tim Clarke
Darren Clarke
Furyk
Harrington
Immelman
Weir

All the best to everyone (including Royal Liverpool).

Regards,
Steve
