Fisher is a true links lover
Odds: [85.0]
Last five Opens: 37/13/39/mc/-

Moreover, he is a much better links player than the bare figures of previous Open appearances suggest.

He has also reached a play-off for the Dunhill Links, and thrives in bad weather, producing his very best form in strong winds.
