Looks like the weather is going to play a major part in this years open..

As usual a lot depends on what time your selection tees off as over the last few years the EARLY starters have had the advantage with the weather and this can be as much as three shots if the weather is kind to them...


Being a big hitter isnt so much of an advantage here as there ar four par 4's under 400yds so its all about being on the fairways and missing that rough or the large number of bunkers this course has...


The greens a alat with not a lot of undulation so even the poorer putters will have an easier time then they usually do..


A lot of players come into this out of form and that mixed in with a few amateurs means we can wittle the "winner" field down a bit...


I only se the winner coming from Europe or the USA as the South Americans,South Africans and especially the Far Eastern golfers will not have this in the favour.

So can it be TIGER or WESTWOOD,DONALD or even RORY that is lifting the claret jug come Sunday afternoon ?

Or will it be GARCIA,HARRINGTON or KHYMER who triumph..?


For me its NON of the above and my reasons to what i think can return us a profit are in the next post....
