Open Golf Championship, which begins on Thursday at Royal Birkdale on the 20th July 2017
(Bennys view) > Having listened to the experts , i'm going with just the two
FOX, Ryan
Son of former All Black, Grant Fox, whose recent form reads very nicely.
Effortless power and ability to perform under a variety of conditions make him one to follow closely throughout the rest of the season and it wouldn’t be a surprise were he to keep the good run going despite this being just his second Open start, having made the cut and no more at St Andrews two years ago. (150/1)
GARCIA, Sergio
THE MASTERS CHAMPION!
What a glorious night that was and now, free from the shackles of being the Old Sergio Garcia, who’s to say the New Sergio Garcia can’t add a Claret Jug?
Doing so in the same season would be an exceptional achievement but he’s an exceptional links golfer who has never been in a better place.
Birkdale form reads 28-51 which is solid enough to expect him to go well under a style of golf that he has fully embraced with no fewer than 10 top-10 finishes in the Open. Mark O’Meara completed the same double at the same course in 1998. (14/1)
That's me folks - good luck
