    I’m looking forward to this, I think it will be a great tournament this year. Some firms are paying 10 places ew Skybet & Hills to name just two.
    I’ve gone for the two Justins, Rose and Thomas and I will probably do another couple before Thursday. Good luck with your bets fellas

    Good luck

    Best bet for me is

    Top 20 Finish: Webb Simpson @ 11-4 [Betway]

    American plays well on the big stage

    Always hard to go with C&D winners when hardly any of the field have played the course before, some did play the course back in 2012 for a European Tour event The Irish Open, and I a do like picking C&D form players when it comes to having a golfing bet. So, I've plumped for a few of them that are high in the stats for accuracy, always helps on links courses, and a couple who at the price I just felt, why the hell not when your getting 10 places from you crookie…!!

    Matt Wallace @ 40/1 - Ranks 28th for scrambling, 7th in putts GIR, 5th in making just the 1 putt per round, 9th in overall scoring...
    Rafa Cabrera Bello @ 45/1 - 2nd back in 2012, top 20 in the stats for stroke average, birdies made, putts per GIR, 1st in putts made per round, only 27.7...
    Matthew Fitzpatrick @ 55/1 - Ranks 8th for scrambling, 8th in putts GIR, 3rd overall in Stroke average to the field, 12th in driving accuracy...
    Li Hautong @ 80/1 - Playing really well at the moment, bit of an unknown but well worth following in the future...
    Paul Waring @ 250/1 - 10th back in 2012, top 20's in the stats for driving accuracy, GIR from approach shots & stroke average to the field...

    Of course, it all means nowt if they turn up and play like a bag of spanners...!!

    All done with PadPow, top 10 placed...<ok>

    Good luck to one and all...<cheers>

    I see David Duval is still flogging the guts out of his exemption. 2500/1. There should be a couple of extra 0s on that.

    He wasn't the only one who went down that route. Faldo the only one to do it successfully in that period as I recall.

    Martin Kaymer did the same damn thing just before the Masters... I suppose they are always messing about with their swings arnt they...

    Go and check Tom Watson out when it comes to a repetitive swing. Been doing the same swing since he was a pimpled nosed teenager...!!<laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I think the lack of terrestrial tv coverage is going to start affecting golf in this country soon. It’s even more of a minority sport than cricket so it’s future is bleak

    I have narrowed it down to about 15-20.<laugh>

    Home Players:
    This could be a really great Open if RORY MCILROY does well. Hopefully he does and generates a great atmosphere on course.
    I think JUSTIN ROSE might be the forgotten player of this tournament. He is now at the peak of his career and I expect a strong challenge.
    At longer prices I would go for TYRELL HATTON, EDDIE PEPPERELL and the irishman SHANE LOWERY.

    US Players:
    You can't ignore BROOKS KOEPKA and I am sure he will be in the mix come Sunday. There seems to be a few people doubting TIGER WOODS this week. I am not one of them, I expect him to make the cut and be in contention. MATT KUCHAR also has a great chance.

    Others:
    The young french player ROMAIN LANGUERSQUE has started well and could have a big tournament. ADAM SCOTT has the ability to go close, and former champion LOUIS OOSTHUZIEN is in form.MARC LEISHMAN has a good Open record and could also have a good week. JON RAHM is in form and is a solid each way bet.
