Well, who"s your money on, (backing or laying for all you who take it more seriously)?
I"ve backed Justin Rose and the 4 Irishmen on Betfair ...
Justin Rose 24/1
Rory McIlroy 18/1
Padraig Harrington 25/1
Graeme McDowell 35/1
Darren Clarke 120/1
One time .. 8)

This really is for a giggle as i dont really know much about golf....but i have gone for
harrington at 24-1
fisher at 49-1
jiminez at 139-1
angel cabrera at 99-1
lowry at 249-1
and ross magowan at 449-1
Did think Jiminez was a huge price, thats my big one!
-
Jiminez does seem good value at 139s.
Steve Stricker who"s on red-hot form just now is still available at 47/1 ... that should be worth a few £ at this early stage too. Will I ... hmmmm ?
-
What are the prices for the favorites
-
i"ll hope for another shock big price winner like Lawrie, Hamilton and Curtis , so i got my magic bean out and dropped it on a printout of the field and the bloody thing landed on Tiger lol lol terrible odds , bloomin magic beans bloody crap so i"ve chucked out in the garden.. So i gave the printout to my dogs , Harvey and Bailey they love ripping up paper , the plan was if i could find any intact names left then they"d be my boys [see below for results] ... Anyhows whilst all that happened i couldnt believe it but my magic bean had grown to be enormous already!!!! wtf , anyhows i luvvv climbing bean stalks , so catch u later....
Bo Van Pelt
Camilo Villegas
charl schwartzel
Simon Dyson
Luke Donald

Am holding off to see what the weather holds. If the wind dies down i fancy Phil Mickelson or Paul Casey. But if it looks like the wind will be there for the first couple days i will look for some value as it will be a totally different course.
-
i can comfirm that the weather looks dodgy from high up in the bean stalk , some silly goose has followed me down, think i"ll keep it, hopefully i can have fresh eggs for breakfast during the open...

he may be struggling, but Tiger makes St Andrews look like a "pitch and putt" course. Will be lumping on him here

lumped...now gulping!!
-
Given the driving rain, fog and 40mph winds, I think Tiger"s got more to be worried about than a putter. The change is OBV for the better ... all about being more confident "swinging" with the putter on slow greens.
He did have back-to-back three putts a fortnight ago though ...
-
This is really tough, so my 7 against the field;
Els
Poulter
McDowell
Wood
Cink
Leonard
Curtis

I"m on
Mclroy @17
Singh @120
Villegas@40
Mahan@190
Stickler@24

Not too much of a struggle for Tiger with the new putter today. He had a couple of mis-read putts but who doesn"t?
To Noble1 : I wish I did work for Nike. I have to say though, I do like those new Nike putters myself. I"m in the market for one with a more solid feel - I want to upgrade my TaylorMade one to one of those new Ghosts (http://www.golfalot.com/Equipment/Reviews/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=6113) Justin Rose is using. £120 though ... hmmm
To MickyP : Nice choice with McIlroy ;)

i got this theory luky that if u can hit a golf ball 300 yards plus in a straight line then it would not matter if u used a hockey stick to putt with.. :)
-

Indeed...I got him at 150-1. He struggled on Day 1 but pulled out the stops on Day 2.
Now at 40-1...and might go lower once they confirm the cut.
I"m going to have to sell a piece and book a guaranteed profit.
-
Rory McIlroy STILL hasn"t shot a round in the 70s around the Old Course :D
-
yep the wooop wooop go go Rory was a tad premature :) 63 :) + 80 :"( , tbh i hope Darren Clarke wins it , he has had a great 2nd round upto now, yet to finish 3 holes but in the mix now..
As for tiger, who needs a putter? Luky u mentioned he had a couple of mis-reads whilst putting, how do u explain the 18th? should of got that easy imho ;) he was only 357 yards away..
