A preview and stats for this week's European Tour event - the French Open at Le Golf National.
Watch all four days of the tournament live on Sky Sports
The impressive Le Golf National hosts this week's French Open for the 20th time.
Selected as the venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup, the club - which is situated 20 miles south-west of Paris - is hosting the national Open for an 11th straight year.
Opened in 1990, Le Golf National is a modern stadium-style course, with plenty of water and a fair amount of sand.
And its spacious greens will require a considerable amount of attention when it comes to reading the line and speed of the putts.
So who's teeing-up?
Gregory Bourdy: Started well in Ireland last week when he held the lead after 36 holes and went on to finish in a tie for 33rd. The Frenchman was tied 6th in Paris two years ago.
Mark Foster: A runner-up last year, the solid Englishman enjoyed a top six finish in Ireland on Sunday.
Martin Kaymer: A former champion at Le Golf National where the German has registered four top 10 finishes in five visits.
Matteo Manassero: The teenage Italian has posted five top 10 finishes this season but is without a win in almost 15 months.
Francesco Molinari: The ever-consistent 29-year-old rarely performs poorly and, at Royal Portrush last week, he produced another top 10 finish.
Lee Westwood: Rarely out of contention and a runner-up at Le Golf National three years ago.
