bighusref Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 What yer not allowed to change your mind naw? Scott, closely followed by 19 Americans. In your defence the open has been dominated by Australian and American winners over the years. Well, so the commentators have been telling us!

I P Knightley Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 JOHN DALY 22 stone of him, alkie, serial divorcee, 2 years of injury (some of it possibly related to point 1) and there he is in a tie with Harrington, Els & Montgomerie with the third best score so far... Well, who'd have thunk it? Big John slips to 29 over. Yes that's twenty-effing-nine over par!!! Gwan yersel' big man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Two of my guys (copyright Chester Copperpot ) are in with a chance. Adam Scott with an outside chance (miracle required) and Ross Fisher a much better chance. Fingers crossed! p.s. anybody know how long odds you would have got on Norman pre tournament?

Been trying to find that out. Think it would've been 300-1 or more. No doubt seen as he'd be the oldest major winner of all time, by some distance (think Nicklaus did it at 46, but cant think of any older). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on Nicklaus and I'm certain that there's not been an older winner in the modern era - the last 50 years or so. You'd probably find that there was some old buster won a precursor to the Open in 18hoohah, in a similar way to WG Grace being the oldest to do something marvellous at cricket, but only because the others were too polite to stop him.

chester copperpot Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 So who's everyone going for tomorrow. Dont think Norman will hack it, and think Choi will bottle it too. Paddy H's looking good for back to back Opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Going by the weather forecast, Tomorrow will be similar to today, If not quite so severe. I think it'll be a player 3 or 4 shots back who produces an awesome round who will take it. It love Norman to win it, and I hope Harrington doesn't. But I think it will be someone outwith the current leading top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Today was fantastic to watch. Indeed, I look forward to cheering on Norman tomorrow from the comfort of the Carricknowe inn (Its my nephew's 18th and we're going there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 So who's everyone going for tomorrow. Dont think Norman will hack it Mate, I took Norman at 33's AFTER he'd finished his 2nd round at level par (Paddy Power). ?5 e/w. It was a half hearted attempt on my behalf because I didn't think he'd do it - but did think the price was too good. 2 clear going into the final day and now 7/2 3rd fav? I'll take at top 4 finish but will be willing him to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Tiresias Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I reckon anyone up to +9 could win this Open Championship. A nice 66 or 67 should be possible with the wind forecast to be not as strong as today and that would be good enough with a likely 284 or 285 being good enough to secure the claret jug. Would be nice to see Harrington secure back to back Open's but I fancy Ben Curtis might just upset the form guide. Having had the misfortune to see Norman in action at Craigielaw during the last Open at Muirfield, I sincerely hope he blows up big time tomorrow!!

Darren Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'll be in attendance tomorrow and hoping for a Greg Norman win. I fancy Padraig to create a little bit of history by winning back-to-back Opens though. Look out for a charge from one of Garcia or Goosen - the best pairing of the day.
