My tips for The Open

Backed 4 players on here;

Dustin Johnson 60/1 - Should of won The Open last year, seems to contend in every major he plays in. I love the way he saunters around the course like he doesn't really care and always seems so cool and relaxed, this is possibly why he seems to play well in majors cos of his whole attitude. Anyway I'd much rather back Dustin at 60's than Westwood at 16's, Dustin will win a few majors in his time and I can't see why he can't get his first this week. He's just come back from injury and won a few weeks ago so he is bang in form too.

John Huh 550/1 - This lad has really impressed me this year, his consistent performances week in week out is very impressive considering this is his rookie season. In 19 events played on the pgatour he's had 9 top 25 finishes, this is the type of form you'd expect from Kuchar or Donald, so for a rookie to achieve this is quite outstanding. Also should mention he has won this year too, albeit a smaller pga tour event this shows his ability to get the job done. Negatives are this will be Huh's first major (but that didn't stop Keegan Bradley) and I'm not sure how much experience he has of playing links golf. But with his impressive form this year the price of over 500/1 simply has to be backed!

Kyle Stanley 380/1 - Terrific player, showed huge character when he made triple bogey on the last hole last year and then won the following week, that was a testiment to his character. Awesome golf swing and hits it miles and sometimes straight, if he gets hot he could definetely contend.

Joost Luiten 600/1 - This guy oozes class, again another player like Dustin who has a confident swagger and a player who I think will thrive on the big stage. Made 12 of 14 cuts this year, got his first win last year, finished 2nd a few weeks ago in wales (where if I remember correctly the weather was sh1t). Just felt 600/1 was way too big a price for a player of his calibre.

So these are my 4, there is some real value in the market, when you consider Darren Clarke who has been terrible since winning The Open last year is less than 200/1 and a player like John Huh who is bang in form and improving week by week is 3 times the price of somebody who can hardly make a cut!
