British Open 2016 ... who you got?

[CameronStewart1988]

Cmon the serg!!!

[dieselmd]

Branden Grace is close and as someone stated already, he does well on firm and fast conditions.

Jason Day needs to go back to his trusted 3/4 FW. He has stated that he is not entirely settled with that new M2. Just my 2 cents.

Jordan Spieth. How can you not pick this kid? He has too much game.

DJ. Let's see if Oakmont has unleashed the beast.

 

As for Rory, I love this kid but he makes too many soft bogeys. He does not have a great short game and the putter has deserted him.

[bruinsPATSirish]

I'm going with Dustin Johnson and Lee Westwood.

[dlygrisse]

Some random decent player.

[starsail85]

Totally depends on the weather

 

If calm Rory

[whr]

Westwood. This is his year to win a major.

 

Come on WESTY!

 

Agreed! Pulling for him like I was for Darren Clarke. Good people!

[SunDevil009]

He hasn't had a great year but Troon sets up perfectly for Rickie Fowler. My money is on him.

[dcsocal]

Kevin Na! He is the patron saint of mental midgets like myself!

[Roadking2003]

I'll go with these players who finished tied or within one stroke of the lead;

 

Marc Leishman -15

Zach Johnson -15

Louis Oosthuizen -15

Jordan Spieth -14

Jason Day -14

[Gem]

I think Shane might do a McIlroy and win after blowing a big lead.

Greens not as fast and his short game is good on the links.

[jons1]

Dustin Johnson...

[Sean2]

The R & A. They may want to see if they can top what the USGA did.

[robelinks]

Oosthuizen

 

Now that he has added the beard to his game, he will be unstoppable! worth 2 stokes a round! :taunt:

[Arpeggi]

Kevin Na

[robelinks]

Also pulling for Westwood and Serge, however I already know they will play just good enough to get my hopes up and then come up short a stroke or two and I will be left feeling bummed for them yet again.

 

Kind of like my college football team. Snatching loss from the jaws of victory.

 

Never-mind, forget that, they can do it this time!!!

[bscinstnct]

DJ by 4 strokes.

 

No USGA punks in the UK ; )

[Fade to Black]

I think Day hits it too high to contend if the wind is blowing.

 

My heart wants Oosthuizen or Grace to take it.

[scotee]

It has to be Garcia.

 

Haven't you Sergio guys heard about the golf gods?

[stinger_gc]

Dustin now that he's won a major the floodgates will open.

[Undershooter30]

I think Day hits it too high to contend if the wind is blowing.

 

My heart wants Oosthuizen or Grace to take it.

Watson hit it high and so did jack and tiger. They did fine in the open. You just have to strike it well and play the wind.

[disco111]

As of today, the top 4 favorites are as follows: Jason Day / Jordan Spieth / Rory Mcllroy and 4th Dustin Johnson..........

 

Personally, I'm rooting for Westwood, just because of the way he handled himself with DJ on the final 9. Would also not be slighted if Sergio finally got the monkey off his back, but he better get that driver under control.........

 

[2putttom]

I got the European guy,.

[Ronanraff]

It's just The Open! First to say it, sorry couldn't resist. Come on Sergio, failing that I'll take GMac.

[vitaminsteve]

He hasn't had a great year but Troon sets up perfectly for Rickie Fowler. My money is on him.

Why does it setup good for him

[mukster]

First thing we need is Open weather. Nothing exciting about the world's best destroying these courses when it is sunny and calm. i think that for this tournament, one of the top 5 will prevail.

[PGArox]

Cleveland Cavaliers ... Dustin Johnson ... Lee Westwood.

[3chavgolf]

It'd be nice to see Sergio get that first major. He's been hitting it well and putting has certainly improved. He also seems to be happy relationship wise and his finish at the US Open should spark a lot of confidence coming in.

 

If not Sergio, it'd be nice to see Dustin Johnson get 2 in a row.

[EKELLY]

I'd like to see Stenson grab The Open...After that, it would be a travesty if BOTH Sergio and Lee retire w/o a major.......Especially since the world is full of guys like Lawrie, Curtis, Micheel, etc, that didn't do squat, except win a major.....LOL

Disagree on the Lawrie front, won a good few tournaments on the European Tour, played on two Ryder Cup teams and has done a lot for Scottish golf by all accounts including hosting his own tournament on the European Tour. I wouldn't mind that as a career!

[randywildman]

Dustin Johnson and Ernie Els :)
