CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (Reuters) - Gary Player has a hunch it will be Rickie Fowler's week at the British Open but his "big wish" is for Tiger Woods to end a 10-year major drought by holding aloft the Claret Jug for the fourth time.

The 82-year-old South African, who won the second of his three British Opens at Carnoustie 50 years ago, believes world golf needs Woods back at the top of his game.
