British Open -- Who ya like? Who ya betting?
 
My 3 friends and i are going to Firefly this weekend, and i've convinced 2 of them to toss $100 each on a golfer and split the coin if we get lucky enough to hit. I was touting Molinari pretty hard (before i even looked at the odds). We have absolute no say in each other's picks, but here's the problem. I already know who they are picking. Tiger and Harrington, two of the faves. Had one of them took a stab on someone different with higher odds, i'd pull the trigger on Molinari without any reluctance. The idiot that i am, ive let that sway me in the way of Justin Rose. Decisions, decisions, decisions..

I would love to see him win, but if feels as though we have been saying "It's his time" for an awfully long time now.

Wouldn't mind seeing him win as well, DB, but I think he has completely mindf*cked himself into never winning one.

MaTH716 07-18-2012 01:57 PM

F*ck Sergio.

pgiaco 07-18-2012 04:01 PM

I like this Colsaerts guy or maybe Ernie Els could turn back the clock..

With the amount of parity there's been the last few years, I don't know how one can take anybody at < 20-1. I'm no golf guru but these are the ones that would interest me:

Els 33
D Johnson 50
Jacobson 80
Watney 100
Love III 150
Baddeley 150

I also wouldn't bet Luke Donald with Monopoly money.

Pretty solid call so far, Doc. I know it's early, but 65 is an awfully good start.

Arletta 07-19-2012 04:26 PM

Here are my picks for the P.A contest.

Matt Kuchar

Zach Johnson

Ian Poulter

Paul Casey

Angel Cabrera

Against my own self-serving interests I am hoping for some real "Open" weather, and the struggles that will follow. In the local golf course pool I have Woods, Scott, Z Johnson, McDowell and a couple others in a best 4 of 6 format, but I still hope for the traditional crap they usually have to play in. I have Donald, Harrington, and Van Pelt backing up theses picks, and only have Donald because Karlsson scratced at the gate. Kaymer blew the break, as did Rose, so maybe Jacobson or Molinari can get me in the winner's circle.......

Mush of the century. :wf

How about Tom Watson holing a 35 foot birdie on 18 to make the cut? :cool:

Mine all sucked today except for Matt :wf

herkhorse 07-21-2012 11:34 AM

Should be plenty of drama tomorrow, with Scott and Woods in the last group.

You spoke too soon Herky.

Scott/McDowell
Snedeker/Woods.

GPK 07-21-2012 06:25 PM

Very happy they aren't paired together. Now we won't have to hear all the bullsh*t that was sure to come.

It would have been awful. They would have had a dedicated camera on Stevie and Tiger's faces for 18 holes to see if either gives the other the stink eye. "Here's the handshake...."

Epic Collapse. Difficult to watch.

Heels1989 07-22-2012 05:20 PM

Definitely tough to watch. Feel bad for Scott. He is too good of a player not to have a major. With that said, big Ernie fan. The guy clearly still has game and oozes with class and grace.

GPK 07-22-2012 06:37 PM

Can't believe I saw that today.

Seattleallstar 07-22-2012 09:07 PM

Same here man

kev, hook me up with some Callway Razr's, maybe i can be like Big Ern too!

somerfrost 07-23-2012 04:40 PM

Ernie is the personification of class, a great guy. Hard to watch the collapse but his winning made it easier.
