Open Championship preview The Open is taking place this week at nearby Birkdale, hopefully many of you will be going or have already been to watch the best players in the world in action! The betting is wide open this year with Dustin Johnson being the slight favourite but a case could be made for a lot of players this week that have a good chance of lifting the Claret Jug. We thought we’d give you some of our tips:
Padraig Harrington (50/1) – the tinkerer seems to have found a new swing thought that works at the moment, winner last time at Birkdale and hitting form just at the right time with a solid display at the Scottish Open last week. Ian Poulter (70/1) – another player who enjoys Birkdale and you can guarantee he will give 100% effort, if the wind gets up or it rains this will suit him even more and he loves tough conditions
Rickie Fowler (14/1) – has finished runner up in every Major at some point, he loves links golf, has a great temperament as well as good length off the tee and a rock solid short game – surely due to win a Major sooner rather than later.
So they are our 3 players to follow, who do you think will win the Open? Contact us here to let us know your predictions. |
