Good luck!
Miguel Angel Jimenez – 5 under par
Outside bet, probably long odds….Richard Finch -8 under par
Lee Westwood 11 under par
Phil Mickelson with a 8 under par
Jimenez to win with 8 under
Jimenez @ 8 under par
Angel CABRERA to win at 2 under
It does seem likes it’s Spain’s year this year so it’s got to be Garcia for me at -1 279.
Stuart Appleby @ 11 under
Adam Scott on -3
Hi,
Having watched the Scottish Open last week, I think Graham (Graeme?) Mc Dowell has a once-in- a- lifetime chance. I believe he can go to 5 under amd win – possibly after a playoff.
Jimenez -6
David Duvall – level par
Ernie Els -9
Better go for a Brit this year so how about out local boy Oliver Wilson @ 11 under.
Adam Scott -8
Garcia was my first choice but 50% of the votes are for him already so I will go for Monty on six under (if he can keep the toys in the pram) as nobody has voted for him so far.
Graham McDowell 4 under
Jimenez @ -4 (and smoking one of those humungous cigars!!)
I’d love to Justin or Lee take the jug but I think it will be Sergio on 268
Jimenez
4 under
Unless Tigers baby boy gets a late exemption it will be Justin Rose 7 under
Ross Fisher 75
Correction Ross Fisher 275
Angel Cabrera 4 under par
Lee Westwood @ 5 under par.
P. Mickleson 8 Under
Jeminez @ 7 under par
Lee Westwood at 10 under par.
would love to see it in the hands of a Brit but with the tiger out of the running this must be Phil Mickelson’s big chance at -6
Lee Westwood on 5 under
Sergio Garcia 289
Jimenez even par
Karlson 11under
Stewart Cink -6
Miguel Angel Jimenez at 5 under.
Martin Kaymer to win in a play off. He is the outstanding young European, has alrady won well, is in the Ruyder Cup standings and is cool as a cucumber.
This question is a no brainer. Brandt Snedeker at 2 under par or I’ll eat my hat.
Lee Westwood on 276
I think Sergio Garcia will win this year on 275
Lee Westwood
7 under
Poulter to win on 13 under
Ernie Els at 7 under
Justin Rose -2.
Would be great to see a British winner of The Open.
Swegio Garcia 285
Sergio Garcia -9 under
Podemos
Padraig Harrington @ 4 under
P Mickleson at 5 under
Miguel Angel Jimenez
Is now ready to put 4 good rounds together.
284 should be good enough
Lee Westwood at 2 under
