Title: The Open 2013
Post by: Rotterdam on July 15, 2013, 07:45:13 PM: The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers aka Muirfield, starting on Thursday.
I haven't decided on my bets yet, any thoughts?

Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson and Player have all won it there...

Post by: ACVilla on July 15, 2013, 10:19:14 PM: I've had Tim Clark and Stewart Cink e/w.

I won the Masters, follow me.

Or don't because I never win anything else.

I didn't realise that "The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers" and "Muirfield" were the same place.

I played "The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers'" course back in 1990, so I guess that I played Muirfield without realising it.

Unless they have more than one venue.

Post by: maidstonevillain on July 17, 2013, 11:32:39 AM: Rose has got to be one of the favourites, with hard fast fairways he has the accuracy and control.

Have an inkling Poulter or Lawrie could spring a surprise. Must be good each way shouts.

Post by: cdbearsfan on July 18, 2013, 11:05:09 AM: Noticed I had a pound left in my account so have gone 50p each way on Kaymer to win. Big stakes indeed. Is he likely to come close?
Title: Re: The Open 2013
Post by: PGW on July 18, 2013, 03:57:30 PM: Zach Johnson -5 in the clubhouse,
Lee Westwood - 2 i think but still out on course.
Rory a disaster +9 for his round.

Post by: UK Redsox on July 18, 2013, 10:28:01 PM: I checked with UKR Senior today. Whilst we did go to Muirfield we didn't actually play the course. In fact, he reminded me that they kicked us out for trying to get in the clubhouse.

Post by: Rotterdam on July 19, 2013, 07:58:07 PM: Big Phil 4 putts. >:(
I shall be revising my bets tomorrow afternoon.

Ps MacDowell pissed me off yesterday, apparently he lent on his putter and almost slipped yesterday knocking his ball; the green was 'literally like an ice rink'. Could someone please explain the word literal to sports people.

Post by: Rotterdam on July 21, 2013, 11:31:46 AM: Going on Hunter and Scotty; but would love Westy to come through.

Post by: peter w on July 21, 2013, 11:36:32 AM: Well I always go for the English player first and foremost so high hopes for westwood today. after the English then its abritish win, then most Europeans, then a Commonwealth country like NZ,then an unfancied country like Thailand, then the rest - french, American etc, then an Aussie.

Well done, did you have a bet? I meant to get down the bookies and back Stenson each way at 40/1 Thursday, but it didn't happen. Cost me a few quid!
