[Other Sport] The Open....(Golf)

[fat old seagull]

£20 each way ....1/4 the odds, first 6 places. Ricky Fowler @ 25/1 (I see he's 18/1 now I guess after his win last week). He plays well over here, many Americans don't.

Match Bet: Mickelson to beat Woods 10/11 at Laddies (nice way to double your money)
Outright: Mickelson is great value at 45/1, he is happy with his driving at the moment and his putting has always been second to none

I'd have to disagree with you about that. His season has been appalling, not in the first 150 for driving accuracy (happy?) and only 41st for putting in the USPGA this year. Which is I guess why he's 45/1.

Donald,Schwartzel & shnedeker!

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Stenson, Rose, Snedeker and Dufner.
Seems the weather is going to favour the earlier tee times.
What to watch? Golf or the second test?

Best sporting weekend of the year is here!

Tom Watson's final Open - that's sad. Hope he makes the cut.

Lingmerth (who?) -6 after 7 holes.
Thomas Bjorn -4 after 9
Irish Amateur Paul Dunne -4 after 9.

Complete outsider to do well, thereby filling the "plucky Brit who comes close but not close enough" role : Eddie Pepperell.

Spieth opens with birdie, birdie. Is the writing on the wall?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Good start Tiger!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Good start Tiger!

+1 after 1 and now a dodgy approach to the 2nd. He looks like a man destined to miss the cut.

Well that's good news

Done him e/w @ 200/1. Birdied the 1st, long way to go!

After a poster earlier in this thread mentioned Goosen, I used the final few pennies in my account to do an e/w bet on him.

250/1 will do nicely if he can hold on.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Spieth looks nailed on provided he doesn't get a significantly worse bum deal from the weather. Incredible play.

 

[Nathan]

Tiger woods +3 after 5 holes.

They need to stop showing Woods hacking round his course. He's World No. 241 for a reason and he's been playing badly. He won't be a contender this weekend so I hope they start showing more of those at the top of the leaderboard that deserve a bit of exposure that the misfiring Woods is getting.

Nice outfit Daly, wouldn't get in the Royal Box I fear.

This happens at every tournament he plays in now. It is extremely annoying.

The weather needs to kick in sharpish or the scoring is going to get silly.
