double-claw Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Wish I was going down for a day as the place is an absolutely stunning place to watch/play golf. Shot 71 myself round there a few years back My Sunday will be spent all day on the couch watching the great coverage that the BBC provide, I'm sure I will have my usual outburst toward Linekar though as the boy should nae be reporting on golf. Just put 25 E/W on Els. His record is just too good in The Open nae to back him. Record since 2000 is 2,3,1,18,2,34,3,4,7. Who's everyone else backing/wanting to win? Link to comment

Sticking the money on - Too early yet min.im taking the price now cause his odds will be cut if he does well this week at Loch Lomond. Obviously might work other way but ca see the bookies increasing his oddsfan u at the Boat? Link to comment

rgudon Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 depending on the weather, i will have e/w on mcilroy and mcdowell. may also have a small punt on poulter and martin laird. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ok, the bets are on. WestwoodCasey and small gambles on big prices: JacquelinMartin Laird cos Rocket says so and he's always right. (was going for Fisher, but think the impending sprog will stop him one way or another) Link to comment
jackie_moon Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 There are a trio of players at 100/1 in Jimenez, KJ Choi and Mike Weir who are possibly all worth an e/w punt. This may even be his open debut but have been impressed by what Nick Watney has produced of late so at 80/1 with laddies is appealing enough. Another long - shot who hasn't quite shown on the big stage as yet is the South African Charl Schwartzel who may be at 200/1 for a reason but nevertheless think he could be this years surprise package Link to comment
MidWeekOnly Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm going e/w on Curtis and Romero both about 50's. Put a couple of 200's e/w as well, there's normally at least one huge outsider in the top 7. Link to comment
Nespa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Woods 9/4 doubled it up with Khan to win on points! Link to comment
fatshaft Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 For those who havn't had a bet yet, Paddy Power and Boyles both go 1/4 first seven. Link to comment

Landon Gentry Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I put a fiver on Lloyd Saltman at 1000/1 had to be done too. Link to comment
Landon Gentry Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Also put on Gary Orr and David Drysdale as im feeling a Scottish is on the cards once more... Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 My predictions are. 1)Continental European to win 2)Mcilroy top 10 3)A Brit to lead at the end of 1 of the first 3 rounds 4)At least 3 Scots to make the cut 5)Winner's first major. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thinking young Rory maybe just do this, Tiger isna up to much neither is Padraig so this is his big chance. Link to comment
double-claw Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 was just checking the scheduling and p!ssed aff that no coverage is on their HD channel, fits at aboot? would think that since they are sending around 300 staff to cover the bloody thing that they could take the hd cameras it's the same as F1 coverage having no hd broadcast. ALSO for anybody that is working and would like to watch highlights in the evening well unlucky as none are being shown as Setanta had the rights to it. Mind you can watch it through bbc uk website though :thumbs: Link to comment

barassie_afc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 if tiger gets the putter going he will win by 10 , i think goosen is good value for a place but again depedant on credit Link to comment
OhhhhhJimmyJimmy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Forecast is deteriorating by the hour so it has to be Westwood (so straight), Harrington (good in the poor weather) or a complete outsider to win if the wind turns it into a lottery. What price oor Paul to win a second... Link to comment
DePragueBeirut Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Henrik Stenson 40/1 (Good Open record, Good record in important tournaments) - Most of the funds down on him Steve Stricker 50/1 (Absolutely on fire this year, straight driver - fantastic putter --decent Open record) Ben Curtis 66/1 (Two top tens last two years - playing well in 2009) Brian Gay 100/1 (Fantastic year - like Stricker, excellent driver and putter) Johan Edfors 250/1 ( Form only decent but notably finished high in the Irish Open on a v.tough links, plus 2 out of his 3 tour wins came in UK, at 250 he's worth a go) Fredrik Jacobson 250/1 ( caddied for him in the Qatar Masters many years back - stayed in touch since - sentimental vote - also has had a few good finishes at the Open and again 250 is worth a small each way flutter) Link to comment

thedandydon Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Gone for a real mixed bag this time, weather could be a real leveller so may well be a few surprise names up there. To Win - Graeme McDowellSoren HansenRaphael JaquelinMarkus Brier (stormed through qualifying and loves links golf apparently) 225-1 was worth a nuggetOutside punt on Richie RamseyEW - Jimenez, never seems to be far away at a majorOliver Fisher Link to comment
TheChimp Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 please don't let me down this time laa. Less of that please. I'm pissed that I'll probably get to see nothing from the Open this year. Christ. Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I put on that colombian boy villegas I think he is called. I know jack all about golf but my da does and he tipped him each way at 40-1 so stuck a tenner on him. Bet he is p!sh. Anyone wish to confirm that fear? Link to comment
