Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 So the Open Championship gets underway on Thursday at Carnoustie with the opening group heading off at 6.35am. Carnoustie is renowned as the hardest course on the Open circuit and with the recent weather will be playing fast and tough with rough set up to punish should the players be a little wayward. Sandy Lyle has been given the honour of playing the opening tee shot in a good group at 6.35 with Martin Kaymer and Andy Sullivan. Some standout groups including: 9.58- Speith, Rose & Aphibarnrat 10.09- Rahm, Fowler & Wood 10.20- Oosthuizen, Casey & Reed 12.31- Stenson, Fleetwood & Walker 12.53- McIlroy, Leishman & Oleson 13.04- Johnson, Noren & Hoffman 13.26- Thomas, Molinari & Grace 14.48- Harrington, Watson & Wallace 14.59- Poulter, Smith & Keopka 15.21- Tiger, Matsutama & Knox Will be great to see Tiger back playing links golf, be interesting to see how the back stands up to it because he never hides his love for the Open. I pulled out Kuchar, Fleetwood & Fowler in the weep at golf so will be going with them in the betting and also going to take a punt on Molinari & Mcilroy I think. Anyone else betting?

TEFTONG 60,108 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Fleetwood for me. But it's an open field and literally anyone could win it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 You really could make a case for almost anyone. Brandon Stone really shouldn't be shooting 60 to win The Scottish Open, with guys like Immelman rolling back the years, and Michael Kim shouldn't really be shooting -27 on the PGA but it just shows the depth in golf right now. It's so open. The Open is also quite notorious for some relatively unknown players picking up the claret jug too. The weather and draw like many events could play a huge role so they'll certainly need some luck. I will probably stick to outsiders pre tournament but always ready to latch onto big name players who start slowly in play. No great value in doing short priced players pre tournament IMO. However if a big name starts with a few bogeys it's always worth taking a punt on them as their odds drift as more often than not many of the big names can turn it round as well as the field coming back to them.

ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Reed, Leishman and Fleetwood for me. I think Tyrell Hatton could go really well so will also have a few quid on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been on the cusp of a major for a while now. I think playing links with Stenson will bring him on to. TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready1873 3,885 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Backed Herbert, Kaymer, Olesen, Oosthuizen and Willett. Think Reed is a tidy price too though. Going to be some mega play off the tee. Snedeker hit a 420+yard drive in practice and he's not one of the long hitters. Saying that don't know how much rain the course got yesterday.

blueballss 2,969 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 watched big Phil on range, must have scuffed half the balls he hit, Woods IMO will run up a big score, Rose and Scott have been visiting last couple of weeks, very settled, fanny sunesson coming out of retirement to caddie possibly for Scott, Justin will get my 10p each way!!, rain yesterday never done much to the course, speed off the fairway and run off will catch them out, ps Carnoustie and its 3 courses are the courses I play ?
