The Open Championship 2018 - Carnoustie

[Captain Turdseye]

Starts on Thursday.

 

Apparently we’ll see some monster drives because the course is so dry. Brandt Snedeker, who isn’t a big hitter, tweeted that he hit one over 420 yards up the 18th. He also said despite that the greens are good. I think there’s a chance of a little bit of rain on Friday but other than that it’s gonna stay hot.

 

With all that said, if two or three of the main guys go well we could be looking at an outrageous score for a major, even compared to the low winning scores for the last four years.

 

2017 - Jordan Spieth -12

2016 - Henrik Stenson -20

2015 - Zach Johnson -15 (playoff)

2014 - Rory McIlroy -17

 

 

Who are you picking to win? Anyone with a Ladbrokes account will find a free £2 bet in there to use only on this. I’ve gone for Leishman at 40/1. I think he’s knocking on the door and will win a major sooner rather than later. He always seems to have three good rounds and one that lets him down. Maybe this time he can put it all together.

Unless you are banned from promotions as a fair few people are.

As for the golf itself,I am looking forward to missing yet another major sporting event as that Murdoch cunt has stolen another sport from terrestrial tv. Will watch it on ceefax like Tony does with the f**tie.

Woods and Fleetwood. Same as ill do every major this year. Woods for the nostalgia more then anything.

[Tyler Durden]

Koepka drove the 1st today while Harrington and bubba were still putting out. That was about 400 and ill bet there were some bigger

[Captain Turdseye]

I can understand that. I’d like it if Tiger won one more major. It’d be a great story.

[Carradona]

Tiger sharing the lead now, this is going to be a great weekend of golf if the course continues to play this easy.

[TheHowieLama]

There is zero chance of Woods ever winning anything again - too much in his head. 

[Joe Strummer]

I got Speith at 22s. Short as 15/8 now. Someone will have to play very well to best the champ.

[Captain Turdseye]

Just realised I’ve got to go to a five year olds birthday party tomorrow at 16:30 - 18:30 so I’m gonna miss the end of the golf. Who in their right mind organises kids parties at that time on a Sunday? And it’s being held in a town 40 minutes up the road from ours, 50 minutes away from where the kid actually lives. Fucking cunts, that’s who. There had better be a good buffet.

Don't start counting it yet Joe. I am on Spieth and I am the biggest jinx I know. Within 4 hours of me laying down a tenner on Jon Rahm he had scored his worst round since he was in nappies.

[Brownie]

I think one of the players on -9 will win it, more than likely Spieth.

 

Would absolute love Tiger to win it but he’ll fall away as he has done in most of his chances this season. He’s playing well though and he will win again eventually.

 

McIlroy has played some great golf but as ever he’s really patchy so it’s hard to predict a win for him.

 

I hope Molinari goes well today. And Noren.

 

We need our Ryder Cup boys to play well against the Yanks ahead of September.

[Ginny]

I put out cash on Rose, Koepka and Molinari. I think Speith will win it though.

[Bjornebye]

Come on Rose lad

[Captain Turdseye]

Got out of the kids party. Mrs Turdseye is going instead and she’s whacked me some tea in the slow cooker so I don’t even have to do that.

 

Like Tyler Durden, I’m hoping Woods or Fleetwood can have a run at it.

[Vincent Vega]

I’ve got Speith to win, and I also backed Fleetwood and Kuchar each way, so hoping for a nice little pay day.

[Captain Turdseye]

Windy as fuck. The current lead of -9 could be enough.

[Bjornebye]

22's for Speith was ridiculous. McIlroy is a wanker.

[TheHowieLama]

Windy as fuck. The current lead of -9 could be enough.

 

No real low number put up so far through 18 -- it is going to be Spieth

[Bjornebye]

Yeah he is a clinical fucker. Perfect for him this.

[Captain Turdseye]

Woods is not out of this yet.

[Captain Turdseye]

Speith is having a wobble.

 

Go ‘ed, Tiger.

[Bjornebye]

Gonna be cracking this. Can still see Speith winning it. Come on Tiger

[magicrat]

Woods wankfest.  Murray drives me nuts the sycophantic bellend

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Just had small stakes on Chappell. 33/1. Only two off the lead and the whole back 9 to play. Seems decent value.

 

I reckon Molinari or McIlroy will win it.
