Will it be an obvious contender? Or like the US and The Open, will the spotlight land on one of the lesser (but still very clever) mortals? Well here we are with the final Major of the year looming, and the chance for not one, not two, but THREE lucky people to win GoKarts by predicting the winner. And if nobody guesses the champ, we’ll go down the list until we get three winners. We’re hellbent on giving these trolleys away. We’ll accost an old lady in the street and force a trolley upon her if you don’t enter. And that would be cruel.
To enter simply post a comment below with your predicted winner, and their finishing score. Entries close with the first tee off time on Thursday 13th August. Entries posted after this using time travel not permitted.
To get you started here are the players (not the full list because that might change a little before the tournament starts on August 13th). You can place your bet on anyone you like, your Uncle Ernest if you want, but just one entry per person please. We notice these things, feel deeply disappointed and go off our food for a few days if you cheat.
