Has spieth been into the golf clinic yet to hit some shots?
Wonder if he's getting a bit divaish |
|
By:
DJ looked great there, but you despair at that ability with a lack of character and imagination, its just numbers and hit it! May work in his favor but I dont think the golf gods will allow it on hallowed ground!

Well thats the team in place, taken a weeks slog of laying, hope it pays off!
Jason Day Got to be the man this year, the cream has got to come to the top with a test like this! Branden Grace The perfect game to get deep into this, cant see him having trouble being in the thick of it! Danny Willett Just like the way he gets into a groove and scrambles well! Hideki Matsuyama Always seems to perform in the majors! Bubba Watson Will be watching him closely early doors, needs a good start to get the belief! Marc Leishman So close last year, has the game, hint worried he hasn't showed his best form this year! Paul Casey Amazed at his price! Every time I put money on him I regret it but he is so good I couldn't leave him out at 150s! Matthew Fitzpatrick Like this lad but he is in no way ready to win this, BUT I have a gut feeling! |

agree re Day I think Leishman has changed clubs but has the game if the clubs are sorted have included Ramsey, Noren, Knost, Rahm and Bradley |
|
By:
Noren could do very well, might add him to the team depending how he does day one.

mcilroy seems all over the shop with his comments and his play, reckon he's nailed on to miss the cut
both day and johnson have dominated recently but both have played a lot of golf and been through a lot of battles already this year and seemed jaded to me when I saw them in the warm up spiffy and reed fresher and more motivated than most |

By:
Speith for me starting to hit form. Arrived 1 week earlier than normal (First time he has done this) think an American normally wins on this track as well. Andy Sullivan is my bigger priced one. Not sure you can discount DJ.
Money to be made on Rose in the coming weeks but not this week. |

I've enjoyed the previews on sky, some good stuff on the practice ground with harmon jnr.
My pin has landed on the following.... Garcia Fitzpatrick Wood B-Hun An Henley Horschel No doubt DJ pisses up now. Good luck all. |

LoyalHoncho, Great THREAD CM ?

Good thread, my random thought is I'm struggling to understand why Louis Oosthuizen started at 25/1 when 2nd last year (according to Racing Post) and yet is available at more than double the odds now (appreciate he was a previous winner at St Andrews and missed the cut at Troon in 2004 but he's much more the finished article 12 years on). His overall form this year seems perfectly acceptable.
Enjoying the Sky coverage, one of the highlights was Calchavecchia talking about his win in '89 and bringing his whole family with him this year to the venue where he won The Open! |

Breezy and wet on friday!
Ernie,Darren,Phil have won it recently.The romance of the Open could give us Lee or Sergio this time around.Two players who have played well in the Open,Lee three top 3 finishers in last 7 years.Sergio umpteen top 10 finishers and Bridesmaid twice.Spieth is pure class,a fantastic golfer,two majors and three runners up by 22 years old.He'll give this competition extra attention. Spieth 13.5 Westwood 54.00 Garcia 30.00 8/1 the combo. |

Stenson Mickelson Furyk Zach Ramsay Rahm Vijay Wall & Mannessero Furyk and Leishman to win their 3ball. I'm not keen on fowler..or rose. |

Be great if everyone listed their teams with comments on why, otherwise its just a list of names, means very little! Marc Leishman 110.71 €140.00 €15,360.00 For an Australian town with average winds of 10 to 13 knots. 5th and 2nd last two Opens. Has shot low rounds. Is big and hits it long. Kevin Kisner 281.74 €20.00 €5,614.80 In 2015 he lost three play-offs before his first PGA Tour win in November. 16th in the Bridgestone at Firestone last week, 8 behind D Johnson. Missed the cut in his first Open in 2015 by a shot. J B Holmes 400.00 €3.35 €1,336.65 Decided against a proper bet. He isn’t a links player imo. Brendan Steele 628.31 €15.00 €9,409.60 Eight top 20s this year, incl 15th in US Open, and 12th in 2015 USPGA. Good driver, 15th in PGA Tour stats, but poor scrambling. Robert Streb 682.93 €44.06 €30,045.84 He was 18th last year in his first Open, 7 shots behind. Poor form this year until the last three weeks, 20th and 21st. In one of those he started a round with a triple-bogey 7, and his final 9 holes was 41, yet he finished only 5 shots behind the winner. Smylie Kaufman 584.35 €65.00 €37,917.50 I backed him in the 2016 US Masters €500 at 440, and he was a shot off the lead at 54 holes. This is his Open debut. He hits it a long way. 20th, 10th, 27th in 3 of his last 4 starts (and cut in US Open) so is in ok form. He has been playing 18 holes a day at Troon since Sunday. Vijay Singh 944.66 €30.00 €28,309.70 Recently 2nd in the Quicken Loans -14 on 26th June, but also a 6th in the Honda Classic 28/02/16. Not as good as in his prime and not as consistent, but odds of 1000 are very attractive. John Daly 1,000.00 €100.00 €99,900.00 I mis-clicked while watching the Euros. I meant to back Jordan Niebrugge. Jordan Niebrugge 999.45 €309.00 €308,520.90 Age 22, finished college in the last few months and has played one professional tournament (Quicken Loans) and missed the cut. He was 6th in the 2015 Open, dropped two shots in the last few holes. His first three rounds were exactly the same scores as the winner, Zach Johnson. He is a big guy, 6ft 4 ins, and tee to green last year was as good as the best. Positive is he is ignored (=big odds). Negative is no starts to back up the bet, no tournaments to review. He won plenty as an amateur. He may not have enough practice/tournaments while studying/exams, and may not yet be as consistent as tour pros. This is a big bet at big odds. I know he has the game, many in the field don’t. Can he produce it? Other bets Top US Jordan Niebrugge 160.95 €11.00 €1,759.50 1st Round Leader Marc Leishman 95.56 €11.00 €1,040.15 Jordan Niebrugge 300.00 €21.00 €6,279.00 |

AND THEY'RE OFF AND RUNNING in the 145th OPEN Championship.
A quick recap of my team... Hope LUITEN does ok this week (Scotish Open) and wins NEXT wk. Backed MR JONES 500/1 ew (7pl) as he was the first to qualify and is waiting the longest for this Championship to begin, and FRASER 400's as anyone that can take Tiger's place in an OPEN must be worthy. FURYK 70/1 and Superman SPIETHless if it's US winner, again. Enjoy the week boys!  |

Reminder to self DO NOT USE the European Tour Scoreboard during the OPEN...thought it was strange too

http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2016054/leaderboard/index.html
Although the site is USEFUL for the Hole-By-Hole analysis...The par4 11th hole has given up Two 9's and Seven 7's so far (and this is on a good day). |
|
By:
THE HOLE AVERAGES is also a good indicator of how tough the back nine is playing with holes...11th, 15th, 13th, 10th, 17th 16th, 12th & 14th ranked the #1 to #8th hardest.
The hardest hole on the front nine is the 8th (ranked 9th toughest overall) while the 4th hole (with 3 eagles so far - Aphibarnrat, An & Porteous) is the easiest on the course. |

THE 2nd hole is getting harder as the day progresses !

Catch Me ifyoucan • July 12, 2016 12:21 PM BST Hole In One betting says - YES 8/13 - to follow in the footsteps of Ernie at the Postage Stamp last time (and one better than mise last time too).
Another South African LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN follows Ernie into Royal Troon's 'HOLE-IN-ONE Club' but this time at the 178yd par3 14th hole. Gene Sarazen in 1973 (at the Postage Stamp) is the other member of that 'club'. |
