Once again, time to polish off your crystal balls (oooh err missus) and tell us who’s going to emerge mighty and triumphant at Turnberry this year. Same rules – you predict the Open Champion, and their score, and TWO lucky winners will have their psychic skills rewarded with a shiny new GoKart (or the equivalent in bits and pieces; bags, batteries, logo’d pyjama cases etc…) We have a rollover from the US Open when Mr. Glover fooled us all. Well not his Mum, she always knew he’d come to something.
Here are the runners and riders, the last ten years’ worth of winners and scores. Study the data, research the form or even just print up the list and stick a pin in (isn’t that just slightly voodoo and wrong though?) But do enter. Tell your friends; the more the merrier! (make sure you enter before play starts on Thursday morning)
To enter, scroll down to end of this page and click “make a comment”, tell us who you think will win, and their score.
And then just sit back and watch the golf. We’re going to.

Paul Casey at 270 Turnberry is a tough track – far too hard for Yanks to cope with! (I hope)
Tiger Woods – Score of 276
DAVID DUVAL 277
HE DESERVES TO WIN AFTER HIS EXPERIENCES
Tiger Woods has the form and experience to win

Lee Westwood – 279
Oliver FISHER 274
Rory MCILROY 278
Thongchai JAIDEE 275
i think Ian Poulter with score of 273
Retief GOOSEN – the goose is back with a winning score of 11 under.
It has to be Tiger Woods – Predictable I know score 270
comming out of the pack – Retief GOOSEN
with a score of 269
Soren Hansen on 272 a steady player who is in form
I think John Daly will win with 274
Tiger at 272
tiger woods 271
Paul Casey 273
Paul Casey with a score of 277.
If the wind comes into playTurnberry is going to be a monster which will tame the yanks. Paul Casey should come through at 278
ross fisher with a score of 270
Rory McIlroy – the time has come. 11 under
I think that Tiger will purr in at 271
Jeev Milka Singh 279. he has been there or there abouts on the european Tour a lot thi year.
Greg Norman 276 come on the shark roll back those years

Probably at -11.
Paul Casey 8 under par
Geoff Ogilvy 272
Otto Henning -15
Adam Scott -9
Paul Casey, 278
Ian Poulter seems on form so it’s him with 276
Sergio Garcia in 272. He is due a win.
Oooops! Otto aint init! Olli Wilson then @ -15
Rory Mcilroy to win with a score of 279.
Lee Westwood 280
Nick Dougherty – he’s got to come good soon – 269
Going for a British Winner hard to separate Lee Westwood & Ian Poulter, but I’ll plump for Poulter with 274.
Todd Hamilton 276
I think Paul Casey will win with a score of 278
Tiger Woods to hit 274
PAUL CASEY
SCORE 271
