First round a couple of hours to go. Who do we think will win it ? I went for Lowry cos of home support, knowledge of course and he’s a course n distance winner.
Got MacIntyre, Fowler, Day to finish top 10. Not horrific starts. Also had Spieth to win it who is having a nightmare so far.
Been darn to bookies t'day i thought i'd put a certain bet on but somewhere got our prices an placings wrong, so i aint got Speith anymore, i'm now on Finau an as a good will gesture got him at henanced odds, wer both happy an good luck everyone if youve had a punt, if the weather changes you'll be needing it.
Looking forward to Fitzpatrick getting underway a little later. Nice to see a local lad do well, even if he is a Blunt
Matt’s dad used to be a bank manager in Barnsley. I played with Matt at the Scottish Open, chatting away his dad said Matt was born in Tankersley. I was quick to point out that was in Barnsley and not Sheffield. His club is always going to be Sheff United but he did say he’d make Barnsley his second club. One of the nicest guys in golf from a lovely family.
I really enjoyed him on the full swing series on Netflix. Came across really well with his brother. Some experience to have played with him too, I'd love that but I'm far too rubbish so be pretty pointless, I'd hold him up a bit.
Shaping up nicely, some low scores today. I’m flying out later and got tickets for the Sunday. It could be anyone’s game at the moment. I’m glad Bryson has made the cut, looking forward to see him drive a 400 yard par 4. Personally, would love to see Fitzpatrick, Hatton or Rory win it. But I think Macintyre might, which I’m not against. Proper Open golf these conditions.
Enjoy mate, been to Open a fair few times and it’s a proper sporting occasion. Just been listening to Lee Westwood being interviewed following his round, what a proper good down to earth bloke he is, he should have won this event back in day when he had a couple of chances going into last day. I can’t see it happening but would be great if he could miraculously win this week when he’s supposedly past is best.
Thanks mate. Like you I would love to see Lee win this week. If only he could putt he might have had a few majors in the bag. Would be a popular winner if he could pull it off. Really looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully the weather is nice.
Usually have a pre tournament bet but haven’t this year. Looking forward to watching how things unfold this weekend. Scheffler always looks inevitable at majors in recent times. Wouldn’t mind seeing Fitzpatrick win, even if he is a blunt. Harman is a decent player but I hate watching him. Too many waggles and too much time taken for my liking.
I've money on English, Bradley, Henley, Hovland and Rory. All for top 5 finish. English looking decent, 110/1.
