Will take on a fav with the 7 places that are available.
Maybe Rose or Westy
I love Rickie Fowler’s swing and ball flight for this championship. Not a great price on Fowler though.
A great week in store for us, one of the best of the year.
I don't know much about golf, but love following the majors. I've seen nicholas coealsarts name pop up quite a bit in the latter stages of big tournaments. Is he worth a place bet @80/1?
Andrew Georgiou to make the cut could be a good bet make yere own minds up based on the price. My cousin has traveled over from Atlanta to follow him as he knows him and his coach Mark Immelman well. He said he fancies him to make the cut.

Have curtis and goosen so far. not with any confidence. Course will be soft with no wind forecast (until sunday) and rough is animal. think the bunkering will take the long hitters out of play. Smells like tiger tbh.
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Lytham has never really thrown up much surprises going back through past winners, the cream in any time period seems to come to the top, even Duval was close to number world 1 before winning here.
I'm with Westy on the nose and Oosty, Hansen and Colsaerts ew.
Been following this guy for quite a while now and been very impressed with his knowledge an tips. You can look back through the blog and see his results to date which have been mightily impressive. Definatley recommend following this guy if your not sure where to put your money.
Royal Lytham & St Anne’s is the host for this years third major championship where golfers from all over the world will be competing to hold aloft that famous claret jug on Sunday evenin…
Victor Chandler are in fact doing that special in shop.
Well the one in Baggot St is.
Still haven't topped up on my antepost outright bets.
Did do a 1st round leader one though,
Vijay Singh 125/1 powers. 5 places.
He's hit a couple of low rounds recently. Will be eager to show he is not finished.
Price is a lil big imo.
Yeah i see he is bigger in other spots but i found some surprise money on boyles by cashing in my long forgotten online casino points for a nice little sum. Am currently on a self imposed ban on depositing on online sites for a while so will make do with the 18's on boyles and count it as a bet to nothing .
€20 ew @ 18's on Mcilroy
€5 ew on Ben Curtis @ 90/1
€5 ew on John daly @ 250/1

I guess a lot of people are interested in why I have such a big bet on Michael Hoey – well it all boils down to the courses where he has been successful – namely short, windy courses by the sea and the fact that he has won three times on these types of courses in the last fourteen months. When he won the Alfred Dunhill Links from a top quality field in October the one thing that he was really happy about was the fact he would get into the Open at Lytham – the scene of his only Major to date when he qualified having won the British Amateur. He is a player who now knows how to win including decent events and I think his price in no way reflects his wins to runs ratio. 1.5 ew 200/1 (6 places)
I looked at Hoey for the open but i think he just doesnt drive the ball well enough to keep a few big numbers of his card.. obviously this means he will romp home now..would prefer to see the first round out of the way before backing him myself.

The thing about Hoey is he is either very good or very bad. Might wait and see after round 1. Don't think it will be overly windy (until sunday).

Come Sunday evening one of the worlds best golfers will hoist the Claret Jug high above the 18th Green at Royal Lytham and St. Annes
in what will surely be a display of many emotions not least relief at overcoming yet another stern open championship test the R & A have served up.
Unearthing which golfer has the nerve,patience,experience and sheer brilliance to overcome such a test is a task in itself.
If you are looking for clues or hints to point you in the right direction, look no further than the American contingent this week in Lancashire. Since the
enigmatic John Daly triumphed in St. Andrews in 1995, the Yanks have had a firm hand on the Claret Jug, winning an amazing 11 of the last 17 Open
Championships. Whether it be a welcome break from playing the typically repetitive parkland courses in the states to the unorthodox lynx environment
in Britain or just an opportunity for the them to put their shot making skills to the test, the Americans have been the ones to follow in this particular
major for quite a few years. As recent as last year Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Chad Campbell, Anthony Kim, Rickie Fowler, Davis Love, Steve Stricker
and Lucas Glover all finished inside the top 12 places. An astonishing statistic
But with such an impressive record in the Open why are there only 3 Americans in the top 15 of the betting? Tiger Woods 9/1,Phil Michelson 33/1 and Rickie
Fowler 40/1. Rickie Fowler must be backed at that price. He has shown a keen liking to lynx golf in the past 2 open championships with a creditable 5th place
finish last year. I don't see any reason why he cant build on that this year. Fowler buoyed by his best friend Bubba Watsons triumph in the Masters this year
went on and won the Wells Fargo championship in May and is now ready to go a step further and claim his first major at an event he must surely have a liking
for.
Phil Mickelson must also be backed at 33/1 on a pure value perspective. " Big Phil" is about double the price he would usually be for another major, particularly
the masters. Granted he has won 3 maters and has yet to win an Open championship, but his desire for Open success is greater then ever as seen by lefties second
place finish in the Open last year. In preperation for this years Championship Mickelson played in the scottish open last week and expressed his desire for the
weather to change for the worst, in order to prepare himself for the forcast wind and rain this coming weekend. For a man with 4 majors in the bag already and
his shot making skills all we need to know is that he is mentally set for the challenge ahead. It seems like he is and at 33/1 he surely must be backed.
At insane odds of 250/1 Chad Campbell must be worth a few quid each way. The laid back Texan has pretty much done it all in his career bar winning the elusive major. He has played in multiple Ryder Cups and has won multple times on the PGA tour. He has won the coveted Tour Championship as well and has held a Top 10 ranking for many months before. Admittedly he has endured a quiet few years, hence the astronomical odds, but Chad has shown an appetite for the Major scene. He regularly tops the greens in regulation stat which is paramount at any Open venue. He lost out in a play off to Angel Cabrera a few years ago in the Masters, lost out narrowly to in the 2003 PGA to Shaun Micheel and finished fifth here last year. A repeat performance would be good enough at these odds to cover all bets and more.
Finally i would suggest a few pound on Zach Johnson following his win in the John Deere Classic last weekend. Johnson is renowned for his tough mental attitude and gutsy performances under pressure. He is already a major winner and relishses the extremest of challenges. He has shown he on the top of his game from last weeks finishing total of -20 par and his driving has never been as accurate. In fact he reckons he is as accurate with the driver as the other guys are with the 3 wood and driving irons. If thats the case it will take the sting out of his obvious weakness which his length. It has proven a hinderence in recent years but if Zach is capable of the accuracy he has shown in recent weeks with the Big stick he will make Lythams par 70 test a lot easier.
If an American wins the Open this week it will be 4 straight majors in a row for the U, S of A. So lets bank on it.
One chap who played some nice stuff up in Scotland was Matthew Baldwin. Apparently grew up not too far from the Open course and knows it pretty well. Adding him to my stable @400 ew outright and 50's top Englishman.
Based on little knowledge, other than seeing their names appear frequently enough in the last month, I've gone for F. Molinari at 40s and Larrazabal at 200s, both EW obviously.

Curtis is 5/4 to win his 3 ball vs Casey and Immelman? Both are wrecked.
I fancy him for that but is that a tad skinny?
I wrote a blog last night (for Boyles) and tipped Curtis in this 3-ball. This morning I'm not as convinced, I generally shy away form 18 hole 3-balls but that caught the eye.
Leishman 10/1 top twenty looks decent, I've backed him top Oz and small outright at stupid odds. He's only played one Open ( made cut in Louie's ) so it's a bit of a stab in the dark but as ever he's over priced for a guy that's hitting it well all year.
Significant change in the forecast for tomorrow - they had it at about a constant 6 mph all day earlier in the week - now it's about 8 mph in the morning hitting 13 mph in afternoon. Expect a 2 shot difference in average scores. Friday look's more balanced.

The RP also tipped him up in their special Open pullout today as Top Englishman 1pt EW. Great minds ect.
Baldwin officially top of the leaderboard now having played more holes than any of the -1'ers, prob the only time Ill be able to say that over the tournament heh.
