[Kilted Arab]

OK, all the entries in - and here they are. Brief stats: Els gets 7 votes, as do Mickleson and Goosen. Toms next with 6.

Bravo and DaveE have chosen the same four. So if they tie for booby prize, they each get a leg of Dave Irelands breeks.

Good luck!

Great job KA...let the Tourney begin!

BTW - my new Golf Digest arrived yesterday and on the cover it had a blurb that said "The Open at St. Andrews" with the Union Jack in the background.

Slowly but surely the references to "The British Open" are going downward...

We'll do another pool for that one...

Does order matter? If it does I had them Mickleson, Goosen, Els, Toms. If it doesn't matter please ignore my anal behavior.

Think you answered yer own question there Dave ...

oh and if it does matter stick Westwood 1st for me ....

On a side note I will have an elasticated waist fitted in ma trousers to cater for the American audience :biglol:

 

[Farquod]

Outstanding KA.

Hey Dave I, do you really think Lee Janzen has a shot?

And TM, Corey Pavin? They just lengthened the course by 30 more yds. It's playing the same length as Bethpage Black! That's a tall order for him.

Both interesting choices. I wanted to pick David Toms, but too many people had him. I liked Sergio too, but I think he'll implode.

I think this is Adam Scott's week....

You know what they say... I gotta have a lot of em-- to play golf like I do...

 

[Dave Ireland]

Nah Farq probably not, but I always look for an outsider (previous winner)that will give you a good run for your money. I used to bet on Tom Watson a lot, and invariably he would show up well in the majors .... I'll never forget the opening round he and Jack N played in Augusta ohh must be 10 years back, I think they both opened with 68's or so, twas a great throwback to their golden days, and I always liked Janzen, as I say Westwood is my main hope this week...

Gotcha. Kinda like DiMarco for me. I like the way he grinds, and I'd like to see him make a run, but the course may be just too long. Westwood is a good choice for distance/accuracy, but his short game will need to be on....

He could use that elastic waistband, tho.

[IrishGolfer]

It's a Sporting life....

I'm not sure who will win, but what will be the winning score/ will anyone break par for the four day total? My guess is -1. Any spreadbetters in da house?

What will be the highest 36 hole total to miss the cut? +24?

Also who will have the best set of man boobies and sweat stains. A Phil v. Monty sweatdown?

 

[DaveE]

Three of my picks are withen 2 strokes of the lead in the opening round and my fourth pick hasn't teed off yet.

Hey Dave, start getting those pants ready. Don't forget we've seen your pic, so kindly let out the crotch and bring in the waist a couple of inches.

You looking forward to sharing those breeks with Bravo..?

Could be cosy...
