Are you ready for the Open? The Open Championship is only a week away and already I'm getting excited. Birkdale is this years venue and it's an amazing course if any of you have ever played it. I've had the pleasure in playing it 4 times and each time it gets better and better. The course has an amazing mix of holes, some very short but challenging around the greens, par 5s that are easily reachable in 2 for the big hitters but also there is danger on every shot and as always with links golf it all depends on the weather to how the course plays. Who's your money on? I always give you a outside tip and this year I recommend Bubba Watson at around 150-1. As for the Europeans I would love to see Rory gain some form and win the claret jug and you also have to fancy Stenson and Rose. |
