The 31-year-old Indian, making his second appearance at the British Open, will look to improve on the best-ever performance by an Indian -- tied 27th by Jyoti Randhawa in 2004.
"Being the only Indian in the field there will be focus on me but I am not going to let the pressure get to me. I am feeling good and the game is in right shape. The first goal is to get into weekend action and then take it from there," he said.
Kapur has been working with Jamie Gough for his swing and with Italian Alberto Binaghi for his short game. In recent months, Kapur has spent most of his time in Milan.
He said, "I have based myself in Milan because it helps me travel around Europe and I am working with Alberto over for the last few months. We worked on my short game and hitting shots in the wind. Jamie helped me get the belief back in my swing.
