(British) Open Championship picks

Hard to believe this is the British Open with the weather but I like it

So, Dylan Fritelli?

scheiss that guy. I can never forgive him after what he did to Chunk.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

I don't recall a more entertaining Sunday at the Open.

 

[Jared7]

I'm picking Morakawa to win it.

 

[Pharm Frog]

I don't recall a more entertaining Sunday at the Open.

I do. And this doesn’t even approach it.

 

[Sweat Equity]

I don't recall a more entertaining Sunday at the Open.

Compliments a great F1 race.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

I do. And this doesn’t even approach it.

I'm shocked.

Man...I'm kicking myself. I've worn Adidas golf shoes for the last 5 years or so and need another pair. I saw the exact same shoes Morikawa is wearing today at the Emerald Bay pro shop I'm Destin on sale for $110. Those things retail for $180. I knew I was missing a good deal.

 

[Pharm Frog]

I'm shocked.

So was Jean

Dan Hicks just confused Collin Morikawa with Colin Montgomerie. Racist, IMO.

 

[Eight]

is it a requirement at every major tournament that there be at least one idiot who yells "it's in the hole" on every shot regardless of how well or poorly struck the shot?

It's like that at every tournament. A buddy said he heard someone yell it at a Korn Ferry event.

Awesome performance. Nothing phased that kid. I knew once he parred 10 it was his.

Hope Louis can get a 2nd someday and shut up the critics.

One of the Golf Magazine experts (hard to tell who, since Andrew Tursky is listed twice) picks SnoSki's BIL Johannes Veerman as his darkhorse for the Open Championship.

Without spending $20 on an Easy Office Pool, let's play it this way:

Pick 4 players in the Open Championship field. Your team should include:

- no more than 1 player from the following group (odds of 20:1 or less).
Jon Rahm 7-1
Bryson DeChambeau 14-1
Dustin Johnson 15-1
Rory McIlroy 16-1
Xander Schauffele 16-1
Brooks Koepka 16-1
Justin Thomas 20-1
Jordan Spieth 20-1

- at least 1 Englishman (not full UK). There's a bunch (feel free to look up all of them), but the highest ranked include:
Richard Bland
Paul Casey
Matthew Fitzpatrick
Tommy Fleetwood
Tyrrell Hatton
Ian Poulter
Justin Rose
Matt Wallace
Lee Westwood
Danny Willett

Other 2 outside of the top group are up to you. Winner will be combined total score of top 3 of 4 players. Anyone who misses the cut gets assigned 80 for last 2 rounds.

Respond with your foursome. I'm going with:

Johnson
Fitzpatrick
Fowler
Detry

Speith
Rose
Morikawa
Oozthuizen

Check's in the mail.

Dan Jenkins opined that the "In The Holers" should all be rounded up and put to death.

 

[BrewingFrog]

I had a feeling about Spieth. He's been putting it all back together, and the timing of the event and course seemed to work to his advantage.

Colinist, IMO


I’ll show myself out

Yes
