The open

[Piedro]

Golf so a lot of you won't give two fucks.

Am gonna have a little wager on the following:

Luke Donald 20/1
Justin rose 33/1
Ricky fowler 35/1

Anyone fancy anyone?

 

[Ryan]

Yep, like the look of Rickie Fowler at those odds too.

 

[dave2]

Had a small bet on Oosthuizen and will look again after the cut.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Got a perfect spot next to the 9th green 🙂

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I've bet on Nick Watney for fucking years. He's clearly never gonna win a major but I've reached the point now where I have to keep betting in case he does.

90/1

 

[Rosco]

I thought this course was supposed to be tricky? Plenty of good scores already.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

There's no wind at all. Disappointing.

 

[Fox]

Rose does not look a good bet, shame about Westwood's back nine he was looking great at the turn

 

[Leo]

The players teeing off afternoon are going to be at a serious disadvantage with the wind picking up big time.
Not good for my each way bet on Retief Goosen at 90s.
Also backed Ernie at 50s he started with a decent 67 so I can't complain spose

 

[Piedro]

Well Rose and Fowler are looking shit but LOOOOOKE is doing ok. Just birdied 3 on the trot. Keep it goin son.

 

[Piedro]

Well 2 of my 3 are gone. Only Donald left with any money invested
I still think its anyone's games. Scott was great today but still think if the wind blows, he could easily shoot an 80.

Same applies to snedeker who I don't rate at all.

Think tiger may win this one though.

 

[Piedro]

Can't believe Scott is gonna blow this!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Well Done big easy. Great day for South African athletes in the UK!

Except for Trott and Pietersen...

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Except for Trott and Pietersen...

but they're English now mate ...

I think the last time Ernie won a major we were in uni? He's gone a LONG time without winning.

 

[Piedro]

Made up for Ernest, but feel for Scott.

Aussies are bottlers!

 

[Fox]

really feel for Scott. I know they are mentally trained these days but golf is the ultimate in mental challenge. One tight muscle of tension and your swing changes, no other sport is like it.

On a completely smaller scale I played last week and had a storming front 12, best ever, then the doubt crept in and I fluffed the last 6 holes, even when we only had mates banter and pride on it I choked.

 

[Leo]

Get the fuck in Ernie!
500 smackers baby

 

[RolandG]

What an emotional and lucky victory for Ernie. Well done lad!
