    I usually wait till after the first round, get a sense of how the main contenders are playing and how the course is shaping up. Worked for the US open; I had Bryson at 7-1

    I meant to stick Justin Rose on before the start, bet365 had him at 175/1 which
    is just too big. I’ve just woken up and he’s 1 inder after 4 so I’ve lost a few
    points

    Justin Rose 150/1 (80/1 1st round leader market)

    It’s a bit blowy out there but not as bad as it can be.

    Good luck everyone :good:

    I could have done with Rose getting on more birdie, he was tied 4th but along
    with 7 others. Still, I got 60 quid back for a tenner e/w. I’d love him to win
    it, or at least stay in the place money at 150/1 although I’m not feeling that
    optimistic :unsure:

    I think he needs to putt better, BigG. He played very well from tee to green but holed hardly anything.

    Nice of Sky to keep on showing every shot played by Tiger Woods (+8) but miss shots by his playing partner Xander Schauffle (-2 and third favourite at time of writing).

    I agree Cork he needs to sink a few. Luckily the pack have come back to
    him and he’s only 1 shot off the lead, with a host of others. I’m being
    offered £400 by Paddy Power, but I’ve got to see how he gets off early
    before coming to a decision. If he were to win it’s worth 3 grand, but
    that’s a big IF. I’ll try to keep it real if it looks like it’s not going
    so well.

    Cashed out at £860. I couldn’t let this cashout amount on Rose ride, not when at that time
    he was joint leader and the pack was closing. Good luck to him anyway, I won’t feel it’s a loss
    if he wins, just a calculated decision.

    :yahoo: Schauffle and Rose :yahoo:

    It would have been a better result if Rose had won but it was still a great outcome.

    I also backed Lowry at 28/1 in running on Thursday, so I got a place return on him as well.

    Schauffle deserved it. He was brilliant on the back nine when it mattered. The only player to birdie the 11th all day.

    Good cash out decision, BigG! :yes:

    Thanks Cork, and great one two with Schauffle and Rose, Darren had the winner
    of the Barracuda at 50/1 so it seems to have been a good tournament all round :good:

    Thanks BigG. And well done to Darren with his 50/1 winner. :yes:

    The 11th and 12th holes proved to be decisive. Schauffle’s birdie on the 11th was a big move. Then Rose and Lawrence both dropped shots on the 12th.

    Neither of them really looked like winning after that, especially when Schauffle holed birdie putts on the 13th and 14th.

    Rose played well enough to win most Opens. He just didn’t putt as well as Schauffle, especially on the back nine. To play those holes in 31 was a great effort and made Schauffle a deserving winner.
