*** The Open *** list your bets

Get them to send debit card to your local branch, where you can collect with ID. Probably Rhino with the 50AUD scam

This bank has only a few branches outside Dublin, and I move to Co Tipperary.
I think I will just come on here and moan for a bit.
Good news is I sold my Dublin house this morning (accepted an offer).

Good, you probably made more than the winner of the open will get this week

I agree with Hank Hill that Berger might contend.
If I had funds he would have been added to my bets.
I looked the field and liked Zalatoris; Berger; Casey; Fitzpatrick; Reed; Cantlay based on past Open form, 2021 form, and price.

Van Rooyen, ew first round leader, ew outright and single on top 20....

Last 2 winners here were big prices, Clarke and Curtis. Could be the nuisances of the fairways, seen a pic of the 2nd yesterday from the air, fairway looked like a rough sea, even a straight drive not guaranteed to stay in the short stuff.

Koepka was interesting at his press conference - hasn't touched a club since the Travelers and hates Royal St Georges.

Yeah, read about that in pga tour app yesterday rhino. Have left him out but he's always dangerous in thee big events.

*McIntyre* should be.

I turned on Sky a few minutes ago and it was showing practice rounds.
One of the fairways looked like ten elephants were buried under the turf.

I remember Clarke's win fairly well, he got so many good bounces that week off all these mounds and bumps. Luck is a factor here, good luck predicting a winner I think.

They replayed Clarke's Open win on Sky.
On one hole he hit an approach iron very low, too low.
His ball hit the ground in front of a bunker well short of the green, bounced over it, and I think ran onto the green.

rhino - were you on Cam last week?

I don't bet much on the Open now but used to always wait until I had seen the first two days.  With pretty decent results.

I well remember the 1972 Open when the great Lee Trevino  Jacklin told walking up 17,  "I'm through - it's yours Tony", and hacked out of the fairway rough to behind the green in four,............. then chipped and ran it in.  Jacklin, nearly on in two, three-putted and took six.  Trevino had previously hacked out of three foot high rough and bounced once on the green then scuttled down the pin and into the hole.  It did Jacklin in.  He never played well again.
Trevino made one of the great golf quotes once.  Having come up as a caddy and young hustler, he knew a bit about it when he said:
:"Pressure?  Few people know what it is anyway.  Pressure is playing for twenty bucks when you only have five in your back pocket"!

Asked to bet I would bet nobody and if asked to lay it would be Morikawa.  Mori looks like his putting is a bit unreliable.  What a shame they have imported Rishi to do the interviews.  Doesn't hack it for me.  Asks some cringeworthy questions and asks them badly.

Wish there was a few round now like Trevino, great character. Saw 1970 open other day, Bernie Sanders missed a 3 ft putt to win it. Unbelievable scenes, then lost 18 holer vs Nicklaus next day. Mind you, the jumper he was wearing he deserved to lose.

I saw trevino at practice day
back in 1979, he never stopped
talking the whole way round
the course, must have been an
absolute nightmare to play with
for some, but a hugely entertaining
man to watch.

And a genius golfer.

I bet Jacklin thought he got right in his head that day, even though he was just being himself, he loved the game, the players, and the craic.

I still wonder what monty might have
said to trevino,... On about
the 4th hole,... Lol

Jacklin never really recovered
from those trevino chip ins at muirfield.

Before they teed off in final round Jacklin said to Lee..."no offence but I won't be talking when we play"..hell Tony Trevino replied...you ain't got to talk...you just have to listen!

Not sure why we have to watch players getting out of cars! Does that help you to pick the winner? All of my bets are top 5 finish.
Fleetwood, Rose, McIlroy, Thomas and Spieth.

Fair point sage, but have put my back out a couple of times getting out the car

All part of the build up.

I loved Trevino as well, and still do.
Apparently at one subsequent event where they were matched together, before the round Tony said to him something along the lines of "Lee, I don't want to talk today if you don't mind" and quick as a flash Trevino retorted "Well  that's alright Tony, I just want you to listen"! 
A journalist pal of mine recounted a story about Trevino which he swears is true.
In the early days of Gleneagles they were trying to get it off the ground with as much p.r., exposure as possible and they asked Trevino to come along to an event and said, as a sweetener - "bring your family and stay for a while"!  Trevino turned up with up
to thirty close relatives and held them to it.!
He once held the Canadian, U.S. and British Open titles simultaneously.  He was some machine.

Sry sofia, hadn't noticed your post.  No offence meant - worth repeating anyway. 

Finally, how good is this Morikawa?  He must have missed ten puts on Saturday which could just as easily gone in.  He just can't bank on his putter!

doesn't look like anyone had colin.

All change Sunday - Mori putted beautifully.  What a performance.  His tee to green stats ( throughout ) have to be very special!  Is that two majors now at first pop?

I don't normally back golf but decided to for the open  but thought course form , links form and greens in regulation was the way to go so found £6 behind the sofa

Pretty decent 3 V.  Please post next year pre - St Andrews. 

OK m8 will do might be a bit more bullish
If the weather is the same next year the we are probably looking -20+ as last 2 winners were -15 & -16 From this week you have to take Collin but think that if Rahm had been that much luckier with the putting wand he would have won , always keep MacIntyre onside because he's a links specialist, and if he hadn't gone 3 off the tee then would have been right up there so defo e/w top 10 bet at a stupid price given his open record and Speeth will be knocking on the door again. Final one I'll be keeping an eye on from this year is Viktor Hovland

Dechambeau v St Andrews promises
to be interesting

Bryson could destroy St Andrews next year.

So could Brooks and Dusbin.

Major Brooks will be a corporal by then.

St Andrews and Bob McIntyre looks a good fit to me.
