The British Open Picks

The British Open, what is there to say.  It is the oldest and most historic golf tournament in the world.  It presents a whole new world of what golf courses look and play like, compared to the normal course over here in the states.

So like I did before I will start out with two contenders that have a good shot at winning it.

Rory Mcilroy :  Yes I know that he has struggled as of late and that I wrote him off in my picks for the U.S Open, but this is different this is the British Open.  These are the courses he grew up playing so if he has any chance to win a major this year this is the one.

Tiger Woods:  Yes I know I must be crazy for not picking tiger, but come on I can’t pick him for every tournament or else I would be like every other dumb golf fan.  But let’s be honest if you don’t either pick tiger to win or at least have him as being one of your favorites you are dumb… Any who what else can I say he’s tiger he is godly and yes he struggled here in 02′ but still he is playing great this year regardless of the last major.

Now here are some guys who will be flying under the radar but still have a good shot at winning it all.

Jordan Spieth- Yes I know he is 19, and yes I know he just won his first tournament, but this kid is good.  A lot of confidence in his game, and just a silky smooth swing.  Seems like a great guy and winning that last tournament should give a lot of confidence to win a big tournament.

Ernie Els- Last time the open was at murfield he won, he won last years open too.  Also his nickname is the big easy… ya that’s all you need to know.

Can I get a drum roll please….. no ok well here is my pick to win the open.

Phil Mickelson –  No I don’t like Phil and yes I am picking him.  One because he just barley won the Scottish open and also hes played really well in every major.  Also with how he lost the last major he is due.

Well let us know your picks would love to hear it.

Which Major would you choose to win?

So lets take the dream of any golf hacker and give them the choice of the four majors which one would they want to win.

For the people who don’t know the four majors are (in no particular order) The British Open, The Masters, The U.S Open, and the PGA Championship.

For me it is hard to pick just one.  But if I had to choose I would pick the PGA Championship….  Before anyone gets there panties in a bunch let me explain myself

If you win the PGA Championship these are the following privileges besides the cool $1,445,000…PGA champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (Masters, U.S Open, and the Open Championship) for the next five years, and are exempt from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life. They also receive membership on the PGA and European Tours for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years.

Uhhhhh knowing all that its a pretty easy choice, I know most people will say other wise because they would much rather have the prestige of the other Majors.  But I would get 5 years to fuck around on the PGA Tour and not have it matter how I do, that my friend is worth more than all the money in the world.  Its pretty much the same life John Daly has now.

I kid I love John Daly, he also has the most unreal mullet when he was younger.

But that’s enough from me, followers whats your thoughts what Major Golf Tournament would you want to win and why?
