Hey guys, golf is my speciality and I am here to give some insight and some long shots for this weeks Open. There are three guys that I absolutely think have an outstanding chance at some decent odds. The three guys are Tim Clark, Trevor Immelman, Scott Verplank. There is also a fourth guy you could throw in there. Tim Clark is one of my personal favorites because he is an outstanding ball striker and can really bend the ball in either direction. He does not get intimidated and when he rolls the ball he is a top 10 player in the world no doubt. Trevor Immelman is player that has been playing well of late and has a great golf swing. He makes tons of birdies and this could be his coming out party. However, he does not drive it that straight and I do not know if he can grind it out with the best of them. If he does drive it straight he will be there come Sunday because he is a phenomenal talent and has been there on a Sunday last year at the Masters. Scott Verplank will not impress you on the range or even on the golf course, but he can flat out get it done. He can grind with the best of them and gets the most out of his rounds. He is a grizzly veteran and he can really putt the ball. I look for him to hit it straight and make a ton of pars and bore us to death. However, boring rounds with 18 pars surely look good in Open, especially at Winged Foot. The fourth guy is Mark Hensby. I caddied for Mark back when he played the Buy.com tour (now the Nationwide tour). I only caddied one tournament for Mark and that was at the time his best finish on American soil. He is a great driver of the golf ball and hits a number of greens. He can also really putt and if he has the right mindset as he has in past majors he could contend. His weakness is his short game and that is what has been holding him back this year. Mark has a great personality to contend in majors because he is very laid back and is never intimidated by anything or anyone. let's remeber he slept in his car for months in Chicago when he came over from Australia. I hope this is valuable insight for you guys and good luck. Also, an excellent amateur to watch this week is a guy out of Florida in Billy Horschel.
