Whose your money on ?

I've gone for Monty, Harrington and Donald each way though this particular event all manages to throw up a few outsiders.

Tiger Woods is the man to beat again, I can't see him losing again this year.

Still not convinced he is in the right frame of mind though....but you never know with him.

I think David Howell has had a good year so far, so I might be tempted to go for him to be the top GB & Ireland finisher. Swaying between him and Luke Donald...

I would LOVE IT if Monty won, beating Tiger with a 75ft putt on the 18th for an Eagle.

I may back Adam Scott. Time to come of age.

I wouldn't mind at all if Tiger were to win. It would be a fitting tribute to his (recent) late father who was the driving force.

Can't wait until The Open starts tomorrow - have the next two days off work to watch it Shame I'm not there like I was at St Andrews last year

My fancies this year are Jim Furyk, Tim Clark, Luke Donald and Reitef Goosen. All hit the ball straight and have good short games which will be required round Hoylake. Outsiders to mention are Chad Campbell, Kenny Perry and Paul Broadhurst.

Good luck everyone.

Go on son, stick your neck out.

Having said that, no credit for me either - have gone with David Howell and Adam Scott, both of whom are already mentioned....

Somebody told me that the reason it hasn't been back to Hoylake for 40 years until now has got nothing to do with road access or hotels as they claim. Its because the members at the club which owns the course had refused to allow professionals into the club house!!

I went for David Howell to be top GB & Ireland finisher at 8-1. Just a fiver, but decent odds I thought!
