The open

edited July 2011 in General Charlton
Right, starts tomorrow on the kent golf coast. I will be sitting in my pants for 12 hours tomorrow, glued to the box with no distractions. Would love to see a Rory Donald shootout on Sunday. Think Harrington and Jason day and good each way punts and paddy power are paying seven places. I was talking to a caddy at my course on Sunday and he is carrying for an unknown yank called chris tidland. Reckons he's playing well and well under the radar a la Ben Curtis. Have backed him at 1500/1 with bet 365! He's half that with paddy's. Also look out for a young Danish lid called thorbjorn oleson. 250s with paddy but probably longer elsewhere.

    Jason Day is a good shout - but the fact he won't have played much (if any) links golf would rule him out for me. I've got a sneaking suspicion it will be Donald or Westwood. Both of them are playing well and have been for a while. Rory won't win it - I don't think he'll win again until next year. For an outside bet, try Robert Rock. In a superb run of form, and is about 150/1

    Like Rock and having recently tasted success for the first time recently there are worst 150 shots out there.

    The other one I like is Henrik Stenson (95 on BF). His last couple of tournaments offered some return to form and with form figures of 3-13-3 for his last three Opens he's another not without hope at a big price.

    I'm gonna have a punt on Stricker (35/1) and Westwood (11/1) both with Paddy Power

    Heard that if you open a new account and bet £50 with PP you get triple the odds!

    Each way with PP a 1/4 the odds with 7 places too

    Commentators always moan about Sandwich. They've been spoiled by seeing golf in the US - where every course looks like it was designed to try and encourage players to shoot under 60. Links golf is a f***er for people not used to it, and commentators know that their bread and butter is keeping the 'best' players in the world happy. If they say they don't like it, commentators will agree.

    They've actually being saying the Greens are very good. Can't be that bad if Bjorn is -6. And who wants to see yet another tournament won by someone shooting -20 anyway?

    fowler up to -2. course could look like barnehurst if it likes as long as ricky keeps tucking them away.

    backed Donald at 14s, Mickleson at 33s, Kim at 66s and Bjorn at 175/1.

    no adverse comments about the course from the commentators really, just that its tough.  the course & the R&A have made a few holes easier by widening / flattening the fairways but they've also lowered par to 70, from 71.  that said, par is largely irrelevant you just need to have the lowest score come Sunday pm.  whether that's +5 or -15 doesn't make any difference.

    if the weather picks up Bjorn's current score could win it.

    I'm going to the Open tomorrow. I'm not much of a golf fan to be honest but I couldn't pass on a major event near to where I live and considering I was given the ticket.

    Anyone else on here that hates golf? I'm not sure how it ever got classified as a sport. It's right up there with darts and syncronised swimming.
