Love it, plan on spending most of Thursday to Sunday on my arse watching it.

Have lost patience with saying that’s it’s bound to be Donald or Westwood’s time to eventually get their hands on a major.  They wont yet again although hope I’m wrong 

Had a little flutter on Harrington, Kuchar, Dustin Johnson & Raphael Jacquelin (can’t remember odds)

PaddyPower are offering 7 places in the open.

I know this because I must have seen their God awful advert at least 200 times this week!

Jeev Milka Singh sent out a message to the world in the Scottish Open at the weekend!

150/1 people .............................. The Indians are going to take over the golfing world!

We hear you Pete.

Kaymer, G Mac, Woods all e/w.

Come on boys bring home the scrilla.

40s, 33s and 10s with PP respectively.

Gone for harrington e/w

The Open is a great part of the British sporting calendar....one of the few which is genuinely British...but it's very much a lottery, which makes it more enjoyable. Very occasionally the top man like Woods wins it, but more often than not it's some dodgy Yank, like Todd Hamilton or Ben Curtis, who did fuck all previously and fuck all since.

I believe the last Englishman to win at Lytham was Tony Jacklin....remember it well, 1969, it seemed there was no end to the sexy stuff happening that year.

Jason Dufner for me this year...an unknown Yank with a suitably silly name.

Know you're being a bit facetious but can't help biting.

That would be Ben Curtis who's done fuck all since bar his 3 wins? And unknown Jason Dufner with two wins this year and who is number 7 in the world rankings?

Personally I fancy Hunter Mahan to win it this week and have gone for him (40s), Oosthuizen (45s) and Westwood (16s) each way.

Harsh to include Curtis in with Hamilton. Curtis has won 3 PGA events since, including one this year, and played in the Ryder Cup. He's on my list this week, with Bjorn, Hunter Mahan and a few others.

Also Dufner's 7th in the world rankings so has an excellent chance.

 "Get in the hole, Ben" "Get in the hole, Jason"  :1st:

You had me until the last bit, Dufner's fucking quality.

Yeah i went for Mahan aswell

Agree re: Dufner.

I'm having some money on Dufner, Harrington and I'm still undecided on a Brit to back?

Mcilroy for me....wont be betting but his poor form means his odds are rather juicy.

Zac Johnson is on form........and John Daly will make mincemeat of this course if he hits it straight...he has slowly been getting his form back.

Got a hectic couple of days coming up but Saturday and Sunday i will get my teeth into it.

Donald is the pick of the english imo,and Paul lawrie a long shot outsider

cheeky 5 er EW :-)

I'm going to back Graeme McDowell. Only because I will be playing golf with him at Celtic Manor on Monday. Would love to play a few holes with the British Open Champion. Saying that, even if he doesn't make the cut I'll still be well happy playing with a Ryder Cup immortal.

Would like to see Westwood or Donald win it!

Casual name dropping at it's finest. ;)

Thank you sir. I'm a bit excited about it all, couldn't help myself.

He is a US Open champion as well, should've chucked that in

Don't blame you. Should be one hell of an experience!

Who's that leading the open? Is it Jeev Milka? Is it Jeev Milka?  :D

Westwood -2 after 2!!!!

Is this the year???

i have a cheeky 5-er each way on him :-)

Simple answer....at +3.......NO!

Westy hasnt got the bottle to win a big one. Immediately blows up when he knows there will be whispers that he's in contention.

Talks the talk - ain't got the starfish.

I don't know much about golf - do they cut the holes in different positions on the green daily?

Yes

Ta.

Want lawie to win to win me some cash, think tiger will take it though

Looking more like the unknown Yank, with a stupid name this year, will be Brandt Snedeker....how could we have missed him?

Set up for a great finale tomorrow. Lawrie blew it today

Scott has looked very consistent so far and will take some beating.
G-Mac had a great round yesterday and has put himself in with a great chance and nobody can rule out Tiger making a charge, although he was a bit limp yesterday.

Like arriba said, should be a great finale.

I'm hoping Oosthuizen has a great round and finishes near the top so atleast i'll get some money back.

Think Scott sorting himself out on the 17th (or was it the 18th), after finding himself in the bunker, chipped within two feet of the pin, superb effort, will mean mentally he's in the right place. If he'd mucked that up it could have given GM a chance.

Be nice to see Scott pip Woods though, would expect his caddie would love that.

Adam Scott snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, what a way to lose.

Glad I didn`t have that 50-1 bet on Scott now...

Haha my housemate had his bollocks on Scott in play walking down the 15th at 2/9.

Stupid Aussie fuck (Adam Scott, not my housemate, the stupid English fuck)

should have backed him e/w

Sorry for name drop again, but met/played with G-mac today, what a top bloke. In TEF tradition I did ask him what his favourite cheese was, to which he replied...

"My what? Cheese? (long pause) I'm not really a cheese man"

You get to play and chat with g mac and come out with something like that?
 :doh:

You're right, thinking about it I should have asked him where he got his trousers from, as they looked great.

Did u play like a twat?

Certainly did, why change the habit of a lifetime? Got a nice bit of sun on the face, which is unusual for Newport.

A current update of the seasons last major....remember still half the field to finish,Rory is well place.

Joost Luiten the Dutch newcomer was 8 under but bogeyed the last four holes :(

Westwood is struggling but Woods is in the mix......nice to see Daly starting to get some form back.

Westwood moving to the states next season will be the end of him. Outside the top 50 this time next year. The man does not have the nerve nor the game for the US courses.

The Big Easy looking class as well, imagine if he did the double

Birdie,Birdie,Birdie,Birdie,Birdie start for Ian Poulter in todays final round. :clap:

5 under for his first five holes to get within 1 of Rory

Save starting another thread............Howell out with Dustin Johnson tomoz at Carnoustie in the Dunhill.

Good tournament that.......bleeding good field.

I expect better from you Leefer...

Apologies Reginald,i am just off for a meal and was rushing :D

Hoping to see Mr Di Canio in Fratello's :D
