    The Open

    Anyone else think that Immelman is worth a few quid to win this.
    I'll update this next year.

    Something in the Gut says Monty after watching him implode
    at the US open I think the crowd will lift him
    Immelman has just pulled out

    I'm on Donald, Mike Campbell and Padraig. Wide open Open as usual, very tricky course. Played it last winter, but it's a different proposition now with the heat etc....
    The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

    I think Howell will win this. I don't fancy Woods for some reason and think that Mickelson's luck will have run out. Howell also has home advantage.

    Immelman is out cause his wife is due at the weekend.

    Paddy Power are paying out 6 places for e/w bets. My money is going on Paul Casey.

    I find golf is one of the hardest sports to call and Tiger's comments this week only make it more so.

    He made comments on the speed of the course and the difficulty players will have getting on target. The way he put it the tournament sounds like it will be a tough as hell four days.

    Just put €50 on Tigger at 5/1. He's gonna come out of that slump soon, and he's got the temperament for the big ones that most of the rest of them don't.

    So that's that then, Tiger blows the field apart and unless something special happens in the afternoon with Els, Phil or Vijay (Or Sergio maybe??) I can't see him being stopped.

    Looks like Ernie it is then to make the challange. Vijay may not make cut at this point and Phil needs a big finish today to bridge an 8 shot gap at the moment.

    Hmmmm....interesting.

    Liekwise, just missed the 6/1 in Ladbrokes so had €100 at 5s.


    Backed Tim Clark too and he had a triple bogey yesterday on 17, he'd be -6 otherwise Just needs to be in the top 6

    putting a 100 on tiger woods isnt smart gambling,.........esp if the price was 4/5/6/to 1
    anyway i backed Mickleson who is playing aweful
    but today the bookies had ernie to beat tiger with +3 in the 2 balls, what a slip up there!!!
    i bet garca wont win anyway, di marco might be worth a punt!

    Oh really? You seem to be quite the expert, I'll remember that tomorrow when I'm collecting my €600. Clown

    Just curious about why you don't like him? Any real reason or just the immense success?

    I'm not being argumentative and will obviously accept your thoughts, but I can't see anything not to like in the guy.

    I wept openly with him today, what a legend he is.

    RIP Earl.

    I'm a huge fan of Tiger as golfer but as a person, not so much. He can really be a ***** towards his fans and is very secluded. I was at Shinnicock 2 years ago and watched him ignore kids just looking for is autograph just because he had a bad round. When you get what he gets paid thats part and parcel of the game. Dont act like a dick. You can be sure as hell Mickelson, Els etc... wouldn't do that.
