http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/jordan-spieth-drinks-claret-jug-flight-open Don't think Jordan Spieth never forgot that plane ride home with, but yet without, the Claret Jug !!! Did Zach wait back to congratulate SPIETH this year ??? |

"The Leading Amateur and winner of the Silver Medal is ALFIE PLANT....Runner-up and winner of the Silver Salver is Matt Kuchar". "Ladies and Gentleman, with a score of 268 and the winner of the Gold Medal, and the Champion Golfer of the Year is.....JORDAN SPIETH" |

I don't give many chances for forumites to wind me, but I was on Kuchar @ 79/1 (80 on here). A friend booked me a birthday surprise, which turned out to be a 3 hour Andre Rieu film. Battery on mobile was almost flat, 4%. Checked Kucjar's price at ten past four, laid a bit more at 5.1. Someone has just told me that Speith was about 40/1 on the 13th. I'm already suicidal due to problems with DVLA losing my licence, and being unable to drive. 10/1 I could about take, any bigger it's very large brandy time.

I'll just ad that I did back Alfie Plant at 9/2 and 5/1, with WH, 365 and PP. So it wasn't all bad.
 |
|
By:
Don't think Speith went bigger than about 7/1 or something like that
|

By:
Oh how i wish young Spiffy had gone to 40s on that 13th hole..My word...

AND SO IT BEGINS ALL OVER AGAIN.....the road to The 147th Open at Carnoustie ! even if some people (incl saxon farm) 'detest these worldwide qualifying spots'.
...the first of 15 events in ten countries that will make up The OPEN Qualifying Series for 2018. I'm expecting another AUSSIE TRIO to qualify for The OPEN at The Emirates Australian Open this Sunday. But perhaps Jonas Blixt 28/1 might make the frame ?  |

The Open Early Selections :-
H Stenson @28 B Koepka @30 M Leishman @48 Z Johnson @130 3 or 4 picks to come GL.............. |
|
By:
very confident rose will go well here. particularly if england do well in the world cup as he'll be riding that wave of momentum
 he's due a good performance in the open and he'll relish the challenge of carnasty where a par is golden. |

By:
Looks like FOX, LOMBARD & LAGERGREN will get in from the IRISH Open

ANDY SULLIVAN makes it in (ahead of Lagergren)

Early weather forecast says very little wind all 4 days
|
|
By:
our weather forecadts are all up for grabs rhino, weve had high pressure over uk for 6 weeks
or so and next week its looking like its going...maybe nothing drastic forecast at the moment, 10-12 mph winds and a few showers but that could change... |
|
By:
If Gullane is this tough with a bit of wind after the dry summer Carnoustie will be fun if it blows.
|
|
By:
I predict Carnoustie will end up a putting contest. No particular advantage to ball strikers or shot makers. A pity really but there is nothing the R&A can do.
|
|
By:
Oh and if nothing changes there will be several putting for a 2 on the 410 yard 7th hole.

hate to break the news Saxon farm
golf is 50% putting |

Fake news. |

By:
if it's going to be a putting contest why not back spieth
who in my opinion when he's on, is the best putter i've ever seen, and is the defending champion ok his putting this year has been absolutely horrible, but if he does wake up with the putter, then i feel he'll be bang there- his ball striking has been as good as anyone if you know this info, why not use it? rather than complaining about it? |
|
By:
I’m not complaining at all. My prediction is based two fold.
a) TV reports today. b) Watching Euro Pro event a few weeks ago from Royal Montrose a few miles up the coast which resembled The Kalahari Desert. I wish you luck regarding Spieth, personally I don’t fancy him. Too much of a leap of faith for his putting to return for me. Although it’s several years since I last played there, I remember the greens being pretty flat on the whole & they will never get super quick in case the wind gets too strong. |
|
By:
what was reported saxon? I feel pretty strongly about the fave but need the wind to be a factor.
|
|
By:
Rob Lee said on Sky that he had heard from pro’s at Carnoustie that it was playing faster than Gullane.

By:
Cheers. When was the last time the UK had a heat wave and the courses were this baked? 2006? Wondering if anyone will use Tiger at Hoylake as a blueprint.
|
|
By:
I imagine that the Hoylake 2006 comparison may prove accurate. Good luck!
