Gotta go with DJ. Again.

If not DJ I like a Euro like Henrik or Sergio. Wind and rain, should be fun.

Bubba at 50-1 seems like good value. He's a bomber and obviously has the talent to win. All depends on his mood.

He hates foreign countries though. Remember the time he went to France?

Got 50-1 for Phil to improve all 4 rounds.

DJ and Scott are my frontrunners. Then a bunch of longshots.

Benign conditions early. All my horses aren't going off until the 2nd phase of tee offs. Ugh.

I know E/W means "either way" in sports betting, but how does this work in golf? You get paid if Hamilton finishes 1st or 2nd?

Crazy that the last Open champion from Continental Europe was a long 28 years ago (Seve, 1988, Royal Lytham & St. Annes).

Hell, after seeing Willett's opening tee shot, DJ should be able to drive #1 (conditions being the same).

generally top 5 in golf, although you get reduced odds if it's a tied 5th, some betting sites may offer top 7 for each way bets.

I get 1/4 odds if Hamilton top 5 so 500-1

thx for that explanation Woods.

Red, White & Blue up top to kick off things. Reed could be a factor all week. Check out his career stats when playing outside the States. They are impressive.

Nice to see Monty grind out level par after his dubious start.

So, does DJ shoot a 63 today?

Can't believe its been 27 years since Calcavecchia hit the 5 iron heard around the world at Troon to win the Open in a playoff. Square grooves baby!! Ping Eye 2 goat irons.

See 40:35 (sorry can't get the damn time embed to work)
