The Open Championship Bets

[BigJay]

Good luck man.

Third one I ever entered was a $5 15k guarantee at the PGA Championship Morikawa won. I got third place and $600. It was just a two-day weekend tourney and I was in first place winning $2k for a couple of hours Sunday. It was a rush.

Best advice Rudy ever gave me was not to get too carried away with fantasy. So I limit myself to $10 each week in NFL and $10 on golf majors.

DJ shoots a 67 and I lose with Scott’s 65. Tough one

Crazy low scoring day

 

[Enikk]

Pulled an all-nighter watching it last night. Pretty boring for the most part. Daly had a long ass Eagle and nice birdie. That was the highlight so far. Spieth blows. Rahm played terrible. Cam Smith and Hatton look sharp. I will be looking to fade DJ in a match-up tonight.

Course is defenseless against these guys with no wind.

Looks like McIlroy is pulling his normal major choke job today. Hope I’m wrong because there’s still a lot of holes left. I know the time I don’t bet on him will be the one he finally wins a major again.

I remember one of the things I like so much about the British Open as opposed to US golf is how the bunkers can be a one or 1.5 shot penalty they’re so deep. St Andrew’s has more than 100 of them and even they’re not a factor this week. Think I remember seeing just a handful of guys in them.

I remember in 2005 such a big deal out of Tiger not hitting a bunker all week. Now numerous guys not only not hitting any bunkers but hitting all the greens.

The bunkers have always been my favorite part of the Open. On US courses, the players are too good from them. They need to be deeper.

I have never been so bored watching golf than the tournament last night. There really isn't many trouble areas even in the rough. Hopefully the wind picks up and we see more coffin bunker play

Yeah the dry conditions left the course very vulnerable. No thick knee-high rough like usual. Only the gorse bushes to defend it and there aren’t too many of those. I think Rory hit a 431-yard drive on a 555-yard par-5 today. Had a gap-wedge in

2 guys missed the cut in my line up. Got zero chance of winning the MILLY.

Yeah with scoring like they’ve been doing this week two missing the cut in a lineup is like stopping to tie your shoe in the Olympic 100-meter dash

Perfect analogy

 

[BigJay]

Rory +1000
Xander +1800
Jordan +1800
Rahm +2000
Will Z +2800
Louis Oosthiesen +5000
Billy Ho +13500
Kisner +22500

About $300 total risked to win a dime on each.

Fukkin Rory

Congratulations to any Cameron Smith backers!

Since this course is so wide open & very few trouble areas. I would’ve like to see a guy like long driving champ Kyle Berkshire play here & I bet he could shoot -10 or better no problem.

Surprised Bryson didn't do better. Weather was too nice and the course played lame. Probably the most boring Open I have watched

Totally agree 100%. What did I say about Cam ? Has the best putter on tour & it proved true on this Sunday !
