As far as guys playing on US tour these 2 stats, should be important round Birkdale as its a beast, but very fair if you hit it into the right place (fairly flat fairways for a links course). Guys appearing in both stats should be worth looking into.
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2017 Season! : Me too I know its hard to predict but i,m suprised that Justin Rose isn,t favourite for this so i,ve plumped for him as my first bet £10 win Justin Rose 21/1 (echange- get free £5 bet for sportsbook for winners market) I also think experience and short game will be huge this week and will also have a punt on Mickleson as he served me well before in the Open. As i,m hoping to go down to watch on Saturday i,ll be cheering on the English so may go for a cpl of those incl.. Westwood and Casey . Gonna try and keep it to 5 picks as its quite easy to get caried away and end up backing half the field here GL guys Posted by MP33
Just putting the finishing touches to my Open bets
FRL Chris Wood 100/1 £2 EW ( As viagret said - 5th last time here and out in 1st grp which should be big advantage)
Winner :
Ian Poulter : £3 94/1 ( Backed him last time at Birkdale and if it wasn,t for Harringtons gr8 finish he would have won it)
Paul Casey : £3 43/1 (Shown some good form in last year)
Lee Westwood : £2 84/1 ( Thought he,d be better price but he,l be well up for this and is deffo due a major)
Tommy Fleetwood : £4 27/1 ( Not gr8 odds again but probably knows the course better than anyone)
Phil Mickleson : £5 FB 45/1 ( If its not an Englishman that wins then i hope its him)
Ps - Does anyone know how long it will take the last group to go round on Sunday. Not sure whether to go by bus or train as last bus back is 8.30pm so will have to get away for 8.15pm. I did read on the official site the other day that Tee off times on Sunday were 3pm for last group but that seems a little late and now its not there
I dont think there is much of a weather angle to go on.
Wind looks pretty even through Thursday with maybe a slight lull in the middle of the day and there is overnight rain predicted so an early start could make for relatively receptive greens.
Friday is wet through the day and windier but wind is expected to drop off in the evening.
Optimum tee times on that would be mid morning Thu, Late afternoon Friday but I dont expect a huge edge there. Definitely not enough to sway FRL bets.
Added to original Stenson/Kuchar/Harrington
with Noren, Fox, Molinari, Wiesberger, Harman and Wood.
Also looking at the tee time slight advantage and the fact that amateurs have done well here in the past I am tempted to add a few pennies on Ellis and Ciancetti who are 750 and 1000:1 ew with the sky 10 places.
I know I have covered alot, probably too much but I am keeping it small ball to add a bit of fun.

id be surprised if it goes on til past 8.30, take a look at tele schedule they should have it pretty spot on unless their is really terrible weather.

Even though nowadays it seems to take an age for them to get round, that tends to be the first 2 days in threeballs (3 players). On the Final Day it's normally about 4 hours (which tbh is an age for a twoball !!!) so should be done by 7pm I would say. The problem might be if it goes to a play-off which it could well do which would mean at least an hour extra.

Or if Jason Day is in the final pairing - could be there all night.
Don,t suppose were allowed to post any good streams for the golf.
i had trouble with it today - signed up for Now TV as they had a free 24 hour Sky Sports pass but the buffering was shocking so just left it and had to settle for the highlights programme on BBC.
I think its pretty sad that they,ve managed to lose all live coverage. It will be Wimbledon next - That could be a good thing tho and get more people questioning what they are actually paying a TV license for
pleasantly suprised to hear they,ve got the USPGA next month (Sky must have given up on it)

Totally agree with regards BBC TV coverage for the Open golf (and other sports). I used to spend 4 days on the sofa, watching every shot...... on the other hand, the wife is much happier now.
I've heard on BBC Breakfast show that you can watch video highlights from Birkdale throughout the day, on the BBC Sport website. Not tried it yet but at least it's something.
SKY have given up the USPGA, so it will be good to see that on BBC, but I don't think they will get The Open back unless the Government intervenes, apparently SKY are paying £90 million for the rights, mind you if BBC got rid of Lineker and a few of the others, they might be able to afford to buy the rights.
10 places 1/5 8 places 1/4 6 places 1/4 20/1 20/1 25/1 Matsuyama 28/1 28/1 28/1 Scott 50/1 45/1 55/1 Kuchar 50/1 55/1 66/1 Pieters 150/1 175/1 175/1 Dechambeau 400/1 400/1 400/1 Hend The 8 and 6 places is the same bookies, some of the pricing is strange, why bet 6 when you get 8 at same price on 3 of them. Thats the bets on went for 10 places, did them all e/w, 4 real contenders, 2 just a bit of fun, hope at least half of them make the cut, then I wont need to put more bets on at the weekend. Posted by rabdeniro
5 made the cut so still got a bit of interest, also bet Mcilroy at e/w at 22/1, thought it was a big price.
Kuch & southgate got me a good profit... so unlucky for Kuch. I personally think spieth took the p**s on that drop shot, borderline unsportsman like. Posted by mrdavies
Trouble was at start for Kuchar, when Speith playing badly he didnt put pressure on, too many bunkers
Speith definitely got out of jail on 13th, should have been a lost ball (how come the GPS tracker couldn't find Rory's on the 15th?)
Can't blame him for using the rules to his advantage but it seemed weird how he was allowed to drop between the trucks and then get a free drop onto the practice ground.
He certainly made the most of his 2nd chance though and that recovery to a bogey followed by Birdie, Eagle, Birdie, Birdie was awesome.
