The Open: Brandt Snedeker targets 32-year-old hat-trick at Muirfield

American Brandt Snedeker is hoping to make it a hat-trick of maiden major victories for 32-year-olds in The Open at Muirfield this week.

Snedeker made a point at Lytham of seeking out local pubs for a few beers and he is doing the same at Muirfield in the company of his caddie and coach. "I always try to find a spot for the week to have a few pints and enjoy the locals," he said. "You're travelling with your agent, your caddie, your swing instructor, so you end up hanging out with them all week, having some fun and seeing the other guys out there. "To be at a guy's event where you're having a few pints at night and having a great time, it's fun. Something different."
