I tend to put this up each year for those of you intersted in the above. Starts on Thursday and at Royal Troon.

I have backed I have backed Scheffler (fav) and Tommy fleetwood (outright and Place) so far.

Got a feeling Rahm may go well at a big price.

Any views?

Little hole, but so tricky, and get it wrong, and
there's not really a good place to miss the green.

Sometimes wonder what Rory might have done with a bit
more help from his caddy over the years.

He qualified for the Open 2 weeks ago at Berrow links course, about a mile away from me
A few of the lads in the local bookies are members there and were raving about how well he was playing... Wish I'd listened then and got on at 66s or more as they did
