One Bloody Number
Who's gonna win it?

I'm going Jordan Spieth, but I also think Garcia, Fleetwood and Fowler will have big weeks.
 
One person who won't win is Rory McIlroy.

Fowler must come good sooner or later, and Spieth should be up there.

Thomas Pieters might be a decent shout and he's at 50/1 or thereabouts. Might bung a tenner on him.

I see SkyBet are paying on the top 10 at 1/5 odds.
 
I'd have agreed with Pieters a few weeks ago but his recent form has been pretty poor and he seems to be too angry all the time. Needs to sort his head out.

McIlroy is awful. Be suprised if he makes the cut.

Fowler is so close, but just feel he'll put 3 good rounds together and then ruin it as usual.

Fleetwood and Spieth are the 2 most consistant players on each tour at the moment so you'd have to expect them to be contending.

And Garcia always contends at Opens.

Els at 300/1 is an interesting one. He's playing ok at the moment.

 
lol. You know what I mean Q, recent form is shocking, can't remember the last cut he made and when he has made the cut he's been nowhere near contending.

Awful by his own standards, and certainly not major winning form.

He obviously has it in his locker if it clicks though, but just can't see it happening.
 
I know what you mean Deano.

But he lost in a play off for the South African Open in January (before discovering he had cracked a rib or something).

Finished 7th in the World Golf Championship in Mexico.
4th in the Arnold Palmer Invitational
7th in the Masters!

For most people that would be a pretty good season, but for Rory it isn't.

Don't forget he's still got to get over the devastating trauma of getting married!

I remember Nicklaus going for over 3 years without a major win in the mid 60's and he's the greatest golfer that has ever lived.
 
I've gone for Rose, Oosthuizen and Day. Each way, top 10 place with Sky, and free £10 bet included.

Hopefully at least get my money back. Will probably have another look after 2 rounds.
 
Saw a very interesting tip today.

Zach Johnson in the 'Past Winners' market.

9/1 (3 places for each way bets).


When you consider how out of form the likes of Rory and Stenson are, and the fact Zach is coming off the back of a T5 last week, and has the perfect game for windy conditions, that looks like a very good bet!
 
The weather on Friday looks horrendous. Rain and strong wind for most of the day, in which case all form goes out of the window, just stick a pin in a piece of paper to select your winner.
 
Mark O’Mera… former champion… opening tee shot……………………… duff… out of bounds! D’oh! Ended up shooting an 8 quadruple bogey.

Might as well go home.

:23:
 
Yep, man in form and local lad so should know the course.

Won a bit on him 3 weeks ago at the French Open, so I've re-invested a bit of that on him this week.
 
Rory on the prowl!!!

I'm gutted. Noticed he was 150/1 after 6 holes yesterday and toyed with the idea of sticking £2 on him but didn't bother.

He's 8/1 now.
