Not as excited about this as I have been.
Not expecting much from our lads
Westie bet is a waste of money
Rory can't make any cuts
DJ has been quiet
Lefty becoming a celebrity golfer
Jason seems to have had his Day
Stenson hasn't won since beating Lefty
Willett ? Who's he ?
Maybes:
Fowler
Garcia
Harrington
Rahm
Spieth
Rose
Fleetwood
Noren
Casey
I fancy it could be somebody out of left field, like
Patrick Reed
Molinari
Pieters
Cabrera Bello
I need to think about this for a day or two

The little remaining interest I had in this tourney disappeared when Sky Sports pinched it.  |

I don't think Fowler has it this year, again. Maybe he gets amped for the Tour Championship sick of not winning a big one.
I'll go with Westwood.

I am not as exited as I havent played
off course I always back westy .
There is a saving in sports - if you dont win it you dont deserve it
But the problem wit golf is ultimately you are measured on major wins - and westy is better than most major winners (and a huge proportion of single major winners)
In Tennis i think its fine to do this - its match play - in golf you play at different times, you have so many variables of luck, spike marks, who else is plating well,
Sergio was getting close to not getting one - westy may never get one despite a major record that is up there with the best if you just top 3(9) and top 10(18) - 32 top 25's.
ok the open is not westy's course he is a drop and stop man ( ithink next mastirs is his)- but still he is accurate with his long game- so its no disadvantage - his concern is how he putts
he wont be able to stiff 14 out of 18 each round!! then miss half the 5 footers....but he can still gt about - if wester knew watson would 3 putt the 18th westy may not have rushed his putt on the 18th and have got in the play off. he has had a few top 3is at the open. he knows links enough.

I think the top half dozen or so in the betting are all strong contenders, but further down Lowry, Harrington, Uihlein and Lahiri might be worth a punt. I don't have Sky, so it's highlights only for me, much to my annoyance. were they the guys that got rid of peter alliss? |

Roroy looking like the biggest duffer in Liverpool, dropping 5 shots over the front 9, turns it round like a champion to come back in -4 to finish 1 over and get himself back into the Championship.
I'm feeling good about Kuchar. He's another one who is overdue a major.

The wind shouldn't effect those guys in front much. All low ball hitters. |

Looks like Rory finally pulled his head out of his butt and decided to start playing some good golf.
Why isn't play suspended? It's raining cats and dogs!

Have to be honest.
This is the most boring Open I've ever watched.

Have to be honest. This is the most boring Open I've ever watched. A projected +5 cut. That pretty sad. It will be very had to match last year's finish. |
