Phil will shut up all the haters who say he can’t play the links, and will finally win an “Open.” Phil, Rory, Justin as my front running winners. Lil’ Skins…(a man of few words compared to master wordsmith Rennie): Oh, that couldn’t happen either- no women allowed. It’s more likely that the Queen would stand the Muirfield membership to a round of drinks at the club bar. Martin Laird will finish as the top Scot in the field.Īnd most shocking of all will be a post tournament media event where Tiger Woods speaks with candor. Hurry up and come back to prime time golf, Rory. On the down side, Rory Mc will again be befuddled and miss the cut. But it’s been done and as Phil pointed out today in his pre-tournament press conference, he was the last guy to do it. Winning a major the week after winning the pre Iowa tournament is a rare, difficult challenge. Phil the Thrill will be a wearing a Union Jack suit if he pulls off this improbable double. It seems the British have been on top of the Scottish for centuries, buggering at will but that’s another story. I’m betting with my heart on choice #3: Philly Mick to pull off the back to back victory march, taking the British on top of the Scottish. His short game wizardry will serve him well and the firm ,fast Muirfield track won’t require him to swing hard on any shots. He has a crazy kind of alert energy, plays fast and sure, and the old fashioned ” pop” style putting stroke that’s won more Open titles than Heinz has pickles. He was THE player of the early season, seemingly in every tourney’s top five until a debilitating rib injury pushed him to the sidelines. On the odd chance that Prediction # 1 is a dud, keep your eyes on Brandt Snedeker. But all ghosts and demons were vanquished at Augusta this April, no apparent scarring remains and Scott is poised to finally and fully break into the ranks of golf’s elite players. It was torture for all to watch as he strung four ending bogey’s – we can only imagine the torture he felt then. Adam Scott had last year’s tournament at Royal Lytham all but won when his game abandoned him down the back stretch.
#Peter jacobsen tackles streaker movie
The man from Down Under, with a silken swing, movie star looks and an unorthodox putting stroke will claim the title of Champion Golfer of the Year. We name three possible winners, one definite loser and a bit of fun we hope takes place on mighty Muirfield. So here are our very unscientific picks for winners, losers and a bit of excitement from the oldest of the majors, the 142 nd Open Championship. Like everyone else that loves The Open Championship we at Links Life Golf have our favorites and of course feel the need for a bit of prognostication.
