US Open champion Gary Woodland believes his game is well suited to the demands of Royal Portrush as he bids to complete back-to-back major victories in The 148th Open this week.

The 35-year-old American produced a superb performance over the closing stretch to repel Brooks Koepka at Pebble Beach last month and claim his first major success.

He has only played once in the four weeks since then, missing the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but is raring to go once again.

"It's been a little whirlwind the last month," he said at his press conference on Tuesday. "It was nice having two weeks off coming into here. Got a lot of work [done] at home. Got here Sunday and played twice now. Played eight holes this morning. The golf course is phenomenal.
