Who is that you may ask? From the European Tour website

With his father acting as caddie, Chris Wood sprang to global prominence eight years ago in finishing tied fifth in The 2008 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale as an amateur, while a year later he would go two better by finishing third at Turnberry. Despite never having contended for the Claret Jug since those dream first two years, don’t be surprised if the Englishman is in the mix in Scotland this week. Wood is in some of the form of his life having won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in May before recording sixth and 11th place finishes in Austria and France plus a tied 23rd place at the US Open. At 22nd in the world currently, Wood has never been ranked higher so will have plenty of confidence ahead of his 14th Major appearance.

So hard to pick the winner only to see them finish 4th or 2nd .

One thing is for sure always take players who have had success at the track or event....
The other is bet a long shot there is no value in the top 10
Oh and its been a while since we had an upset winner at a major - The big dogs have been feasting

Lets go Chris!

No D. Johnson? This course sets up well for a driver/wedge player. His length, along with his excellent wedge play has to make him a favorite. As usual though, it almost always comes down to putting.

Most important factor in most British opens the first 2 days is yor tee time. Those 2 days it's all about the wind.

 

[MantisToboggan]

Tough tournament to peg because of the weather, if you end up with a player on the wrong side of the draw you have no chance.

That said, I'm on:

Scott 18/1
Grace 27/1
McDowell 90/1
