Thanks for the reminder, cawoodsct. I have a crappy week ahead of me, but the British Open will make it a little better.

 

[willyclyde]

I tell ya who’s not gonna win, Tiger.

Gimme Fleetwood.

 

[cawoodsct]

 

[TCPUKChamps]

My favorite major. Where you get as much TV time Thursday alone as an entire week at Augusta.

[KyFaninNC]

Will this course favor a low ball hitter? Who the hell looks forward to playing golf in 60 degree weather the middle of July?

 

[dgtatu01]

Give me the Englishman Justin Rose.

 

[KRJ1975]

Cantlay, Schauffele seem like decent bets to break through.

 

[UK 82]

I said early on that McIlroy will win a major in 2019. Tough to bet against him on his home turf. Make me look good Rory!

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Really can’t call it the British Open this year.

 

[cawoodsct]

Thanks for the input Ronny!!

Thanks for the input Ronny!!

Hey, I just don’t you pissing off the IRA and getting capped.

 

[vhcat70]

It's the All Ireland Open now.

 

[cawoodsct]

I’m picking Fowler.

 

[august-west]

Give me your best long shot to make some noise. Not necessarily win, but to finish top 10

 

[cawoodsct]

McDowell

 

[willyclyde]

Grillo/Putnam

 

[BankerCat12]

I’m picking Fowler.

For sure Thursday and Friday.

 

[willyclyde]

McDowell

He said longshot, way to go out on a limb there with a hometown major winner at 50-1.

Another actual longshot I like is Erik van rooyen

Me.

[cole854]

One of the usual heavy hitters from across the pond will win this one. Can't see any of the best from Murrica doing well unless a long shot sneaks up there.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Really can’t call it the British Open this year.

They don’t call it The British Open any year.:smiley: Will always be The British Open to me.

 

[wkycatfan_rivals376690]

Adam Scott.

 

[wkycatfan_rivals376690]

They don’t call it The British Open any year.:smiley: Will always be The British Open to me.

Except its in Ireland this year. I'm guessing the Irish would object.

 

[sluggercatfan]

I tell ya who’s not gonna win, Tiger.

Gimme Fleetwood.

Hopefully

 

[sluggercatfan]

Me.

As long as it's a clear, sunny day!

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Except its in Ireland this year. I'm guessing the Irish would object.

And you just pissed off the Northern Ireland folks.

 

[KRJ1975]

Absolutely nobody in Europe ever calls it the British open.

[cawoodsct]

Absolutely nobody in Europe ever calls it the British open.

That’s why Americans do, or at least me.

 

[willyclyde]

Pretty cool story about his caddy being from Northern Ireland and a member at Portrush for 30+ years. Brooks said he wants to win it for him.

 

[KRJ1975]

That’s why Americans do, or at least me.

I do too.

 

[Tannerdad]

I think JT can make some noise in it.

Otherwise, Rory, Rose and Fleetwood.

Give me your best long shot to make some noise. Not necessarily win, but to finish top 10

Cabrera Bello
Adam Hadwin
Beef Johnston

American long shots

Webb Simpson
Jimmy Walker

Latest forecast:

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Think Molinari goes back to back.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

My favorite major. Where you get as much TV time Thursday alone as an entire week at Augusta.

More time for posters to ***** about the announcers. :smiley::golf:

 

[mhroe1984]

Going with a random American to break through with his first major. JB Holmes gets it done.
