I'm going with Jean van de Velde to win it all, he's due:mj07:
Did you know.......
Van de Velde made light of his 1999 Open collapse in a humorous Never Compromise infomercial in which he replayed Carnoustie's 18th hole in the dead of winter with only the company's brand putter in an attempt to best the seven strokes that cost him the championship. He succeeded on his third attempt.

The biggest choke in pro golf history..........

Can't believe that WIESBERGER won, he shouldn't have three times but he did. Feel that makes up a little for the week before. Have been clicking for a month so have a few more than normal.

148th Open Championship:
Outrights:
Justin Rose(22/1) e.w.
Justin Thomas(40/1) e.w.
Ian Poulter(75/1) e.w.
Marc Leishman(70/1) e.w.
Henrik Stenson(30/1) e.w.
Shane Lowry(70/1) e.w.
Patrick Cantlay(35/1) e.w.
Erik Van Rooyen(110/1) e.w.
Phil Mickelson(50/1) e.w.
Ian Poulter(66/1) e.w. First Round Leader
Zander Lombard(80/1) e.w. Top ROW
Jorge Campillo(80/1) e.w. Top European
Andy Sullivan(55/1) e.w. Top European
Lucas Glover(80/1) e.w. Top American
- - My take from various reports about the unfamiliar venue are that power will be an advantage, mistakes will be penalized, weather may make late on Thursday the worst of the draw, the green complexes seem particularly unique, and the opportunities to play along the ground seem less than usual, and all of those elements have factored into my capping. And as always, I ask what the player has done for a week or two prior to Monday to get in touch with their links game . . . So, I?ve been tracking Poulter for this major championship all year, but I don?t think it is suited to his game like a Birkdale or Troon or Turnberry might be . . . Justin Thomas impressed me from the first moment I caught him in action at the Scottish Open . . . Leishman may just have the all around game that will go well at this venue . . . Gotta try someone as a mudder, and my compass pointed to the old chestnut Lowry.

Okay.
(1) Under ideal circumstances, those ribbons of fairway I?m seeing still present a major challenge. IMO, Spieth is badly failing the challenge. I?ll be looking elsewhere for contenders when the conditions and circumstances are getting turned up several notches this weekend.
(2) IMO, the best story line from here has to include Westwood in the mix.
(3) The betting angle of Westwood as a links savvy nearly man poised for more, it works for me. But of course I?ve seen how this story ends, with his Sunday putter.
(4) I thought Lowry was very capable of going better today. And probably needed to. Damn.
(5) Justin Thomas is now untethered from the good golf played in the Fleetwod/Olesen 3-Ball, and I gotta believe his game is carrying solid tangibles and intangibles to the re-pairing. I will be some synonym of shocked if the record book shows Thomas failed to move up from T-32 in this rendition.
(6) After-timing for profits . . . Looking for an in-running play to embrace after Day 1, the best I had on my sheet was Alex Noren(50/1) e.w. at -3, on credentials rather than something palpable. It was a fairly easy decision not to force a play and keep my powder dry, and although I?ve only seen Noren hit one shot, his stats remained solid, and his scorecard features birdies early and late. With the odds now stretched to 150/1, it?s a fairly easy decision for me to take the plunge.
(7) Portrush is presenting an awesome test for these pros. The 1st hole is just outstanding, producing birdies and snowmen.
(8 ) The angle being pushed by The Golf Channel on Thursday was the fact that only 9 times in 147 prior editions has the winner been outside of the Top 20 after the first round (-1 was T-20).
(9) Introducing a new variable is the spot as the final major of the season, something very different for us fans, and probably for the storylines of a fairly righteous 2019 season.
(10) I?m pretty sure I?ll remember these plays as the easiest 5 matches of my life - plays against Woods as a contender, and on Clarke as a story.
(11) Tough to watch Dazzler crash and burn so miserably on the 18th hole. But I sense it could actually be useful motivation for Westwood. Just sayin?.
(12) That was fun. Now hoping to break even.
Saturday:
In- running:
Lee Westood(14/1) e.w.
- - I think I can promise you fun.
Justin Thomas(175/1) e.w.
- - Too many regrets are possible if I pass.
Alex Noren(150/1) e.w.
- - My capping puts this play high on my sheet.
Sam Saunders(750/1) e.w.
- - Sam is in a rich vein of form. There is lots of motivation, in a stretch he?s pretty used to experiencing. Angles enough to take on those odds.
Matchups:
Westwood(-120) Un70'
Thomas(-120) Un69'
Noren(-120) Un 70'
Kokrak(-110) over Stanley
Kuchar(-125) over Spieth
D.Johnson(-105) over Rahm
Pepperell(-110) over McDowell
Koepka(+105) Un68'
- - (I'll add the Koepka play as insurance against.)
