i'm good at golf.
i could play all day - and never lose a single ball down one of those holes.

Very funny!

Given all the rough stuff, I'd be looking for someone "straight off the tee"

Reasonable odds for

Justin Rose at 33-1

Ross Fisher at 66-1

Mick-Talbot

Adam Scott

Thanks dave, Rose has been playing consistantly well, thinking of John Daly and Jimenez, both colourful characters

Mick-Talbot

I'll take your money if you are backing Daly.

Question Author

Hm, thank you mick, he's 40/1, another one to consider (I've forgiven you for telling me to learn how to use google)

sunny-dave

I think the chances of Daly getting round without hacking a few into the jungle are quite low.

Jimenez might be a decent call, as is Mick's of Adam Scott.

Jiminez was not on form at the Scottish Open.

The winner of that tournament, thanks to a magnificent 67 on the final day, was Jeev Milkha Singh. At 150/1 he may be worth a tenner on a place ...

Thank you Ellipsis, I'll include him in my list

Rickie Fowler for me at 40-1, he played really well in the 3rd round last year in the bad weather but couldn't reproduce it on the Sunday. I think he has got a decent chance.

Also my big outsider is Andres Romero at 150-1. He has played well over the years in the Open, in fact he should have won in 2007 but blew it at the end. He's the type of player who can reel off 6 or 7 birdies in a row and he's also shown signs of a return to form this year.

Mick-Talbot

I have £20 on Adam Scott @ 38/1

I have laid Brandt Snedeker @ 100/30

100 quid if he doesn't win ///£330 loss if he does win.

I love betfair.

Mick-Talbot

Just edged my bet by having 50 on Tiger at a shade over 3/1

Finish your swing - hands finishing high.

Mind your china and mementos.

Mick-Talbot

Well that's Tiger out of it
