The Open Championship

[ParlaysStoleMyMoney]

Who do you guys like to do well? Who do you like to do terrible? Fowler all of a sudden back in form....

 

[MantisToboggan]

Think Henrik Stenson wins it. Paul Casey is another guy I think has a strong showing.

 

[MattyMatt]

Let's do a pool and find out...

 

[Balco+]

Never rule at DT at 11/1. Long hitter and can switch to low iron in heavy wind.
Kaymer is a sleeper at 35/1. Like Rose 14/1 too.

 

[flashmo]

Branden Grace...played great in US Open, has won 2 of his 6 European Tour titles on St Andrews--haven't seen any odds on him, but have him in head to head matchups..A decent longshot-he should be at least 35-40 -1

 

[Willye]

Pay close attention to the weather the early thursday pairings might benefit big time as far as who i like ill break it down in tiers

studs

Scott
stenson - should be fully recovered from the illness that caused him lose 20 plus pounds early in the season
dj - long st andrews have to be in there

mid tier

Kaymer great on course
grace
Lowry
koepka

Tom Watson is playing in his final British Open. I would love to see him make the cut. He is the
only player to win the Open on five different courses...but not at St. Andrews.

Whatever happened to John Daily, the 1995 Open winner??

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Schwartzel
DeLaet
Dubuisson
Garcia
Matsuyama

Don't think an American wins this year....Lee Westwood as a long shot

Daly*

...he still does events and sells his terrible clothing line.

He's in and +15000 to be top American.

pretty sure he has his own liquor line now too

Pure Daly here:
You know he's killing whiskey this week. Killing.

How did Schwartzel get into your Good Graces?

You were Fading him at our own Links Course Chambers bay US Open.

He played well there

to finish -2 tied for 7th just 3 back from the -5 winning score.


This was what gained Schwartzel redemption? In Your eyes?

I like the Dubuisson talk in this thread.....I have zero faith in Stenson. Well, unwell whatever. He let me down badly at Chambers Bay.

Feel good about Greenback's M. Kuchar +5894.

He is grouped with Stenson and Mickelson today. That could be a very interesting grouping.

Kaymer grouped with Adam Scott and Jimmy Walker. I'm interested whether Jimmy Walker will be able to hang with these 2 guys.


....surely DJ has a very very strong showing here.


Hunter Mahan has shocked the hell outta me. He's come out -4 through 8. 7105 Luke Donald (1st Rnd) -115* <small>vs</small> Hunter Mahan (1st Rnd) is thus far way way WAY less "easy" than I expected it would be. Luke Donald -4 as well though, fortunately. At least I'm not buried like I very well could be by this great start by Hunter Mahan.

 

[REDEYE]

14/1 on DJ looking good

 

[ML Dog]

14/1 on DJ looking good

Yeah, DJ with a start like this could reasonably be expected to be very Solid going forward.

That DJ vs. Spieth Matchup 5Dimes dangled in front of me would've been exciting as heck to this point. Both -6 thru 11 lmfao.

I wasn't crazy enough to fade Spieth though at the dumb (if I recall correctly) just +110 DJ was priced at lol.

Whatever the line was it was decidedly un-enticing.

Goosen an amazing round. I guess I'll fade him late...Rd. 3 or 4....maybe. Depending on who he's offered up against.

Kevin Na surprising thus far, Scwartzel too....JDay -4 surprising to me anyway...

Sergio an encouraging -3 thru 10.

Talk is the weather might turn bad in the afternoon.

I need the Schwartz to not turn it down...
