Short notice again, but we're up and running for the 150th Open at St Andrews, going to be a bit of a warm one this year and the winds need to blow otherwise there could be some low scoring. I think -20 could be possible...
Anyway prediction comp is running as always, rules are as follows:
Pick 5 players from 3 categories, Europe, USA, Rest of World. 3 from one category and one from the other two.
e.g EUR, EUR, EUR, ROW, USA or USA, USA, USA, ROW, EUR. Etc, etc.
Also predict the WINNING SCORE.
Points are scored for amount players are under par. Minus 5 points for any player who misses the cut. 5 bonus points for getting the winning score correct.
CLOSING TIME FOR ENTRIES is 8am on Thursday.
Good luck all...

Top man Souly 
Sadly I can only see a USA winner even though the weather forecast is predicting 15-20 mph winds for the tournament.
USA:- Scotty Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas
EU:- Matt Fitzpatrick
ROW:- Cameron Smith
winning score :- -12

Re: The Open + Prediction Comp
If the wind doesn’t arrive on the Fife coast, there could be records broken at St Andrews this week

Re: The Open + Prediction Comp
^^^^There'll be so much run on the ball distance control will be at a premium, although how you stop the ball on rock hard bone dry ground will be interesting to see. Bomb and gouge it most certainly won't be.

Fleetwood
Schauffele, Morikawa, Herschel…

Re: The Open + Prediction Comp
Have Lowry as one of my picks and that was looking a poor choice after the first round. Not any more!
