Set up for @Raymond Crotty, who has not got much internet access these days.
Delighted to see three time major winner Tiger Woods return for the year’s first* major.
*And last.
Who’s yer money on chaps?
The true Irishman McDowell 33/1, Bubba 55/1 and Cabrera bello at 150/1 for me
Rory McIlroy -6 opening round
Graeme McDowell MBE and Protestant?
When quizzed on whether he’d represent Britain or Ireland at future Olympic events, McDowell stated: “I’m not bothered who I play for. I’ll be honoured to represent Britain or Ireland or both. I’m proud to play golf for Europe." On the subject of his nationality, he added: “Yes, I sit on the fence but why not? There’s no right or wrong answer. I’m always going to upset someone, so why not sit on the fence?”
Did you back him?
I backed both Woods (22/1) and Rory (18/1) simply for the reason you will never see starting odds as high for those again.
A commanding 6 shot lead for McIlroy going into last round.
Looking good bud.
Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open at Hoylake in 1947.
Sadly, unless Graeme McDowell or Darren Clarke can pull off a miracle, there won’t be an Irish winner at the Merseyside venue today, although with Shane Lowry also there on -3, it’s been a respectable performance from our players this week, and that’s quietly pleasing.
Rickie Fowler will become as big a Merseyside hero as Robbie Fowler if he can catch Pubehead. It would be truly beautiful to see another Augusta-style collapse. If Pubezilla wins, it won’t particularly bother me as I’m not going to be watching it anyway.
Good luck, Rickie. Ireland is behind you.
:rolleyes:
Karlsson :rolleyes::mad:
McIlroy won this in the end.
well done scrunchie
