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.
