    Will Tiger Win the British?

    Is he done?

    or

    Is it that the other golfers are just better now?

    Two ENTIRELY different golf courses.

    You can't simply bang it like Bubba does and win over there. There has to be some finesse to your game-----running a ball onto the green from 160 yards out, instead of just firing it at the pin.

    Bubba's played the British 4 times. Missed the cut twice, and his best finish is 23rd.

    odd statement considering that both Scott and Rose were both hovering around top 10 favorites [depending on your book] for both majors they won this year...

    Jason Day has been solid in both the Masters and the US Open.

    I may take a flyer on him at 30-1.

    except masters and us opens dont generally end up with winners like paul lawrie, ben curtis, darren clarke, louis oousissoteuoaniezen and todd hamilton (not that louis isnt a good player since he did almost win the masters....i just like making fun of his name)

    Really? You don't think the tour is particularly deep?

    What's your approach, bet every player in the Top 10?

    If its so easy to pick the British Open Champ this year--- do us all a solid and give us the winner.

    No freaking way he wins the British on a long drought off two consecutive bad tournaments. Plus he has no value because all the suckers bet him.

    Cannot decide whether to bet against him or not. I have this eerie feeling he is going to win this one.

    No way Tiger wins. He struggles with tough courses and this one is one of the toughest courses in all golf.

    Wait until after Saturday. Tiger has never won a major trailing after 54 holes.
