Good luck with your bets. Interesting to see if they set the tone for the betting syndicate. I think at 9's or 10's Garcia is a terrible price for someone who is not a world class putter. A few years back he had his chance to take the Open from Woods but melted on the greens. Els likewise has lost the touch on the greens and these days relies on a big last day. Singh has not looked like winning anything since he changed from playing with Cleveland irons. Mickleson is capable of destroying Birkdale, and lets hope the homo doesn't do it.

Without Woods in the field, all the top boys will be creaming themselves. Westwood has played well in every major this year and would love to see him nail it, Jimenez has played solid recently. Stricker loves the British Open. As does Rich Beem (300's).

If any one of Garcia, Els, Singh gets placed in the top 3, I'll eat my words for slagging your bets and donate ?10 to your pot. :winking:

Plenty of 'value' bets this week at the Open. I like the look of the following:
Richard Green 80's - great putter, holes everything (well nearly)...
Oliver Wilson 100's - wears yellow belts...
Simon Dyson 175's - plays golf like Daniel Evans plays pool...(slowly)
Jerry Kelly 200's - has the sweetest swing in the World..back him in every major so he owes me....!
