Its not my life savings or anything, just a wee bit to keep it interesting. 5ew @ 33/1. Returns £216. Good odds i thought for a major winner back on the links where he belongs, and having recently found a bit of form.

Goosen retires due to injury.....plus he was gash yesterday
Westwood going backwards. Tom Lewis doing well to hang in there.
Watson hole in one!
Hes a fecking legend that man. As compeditive as they come.
Christ almighty Westwood's having a nightmare.
He seems a bit distracted of late. Did you see any of his interviews last week in Scotland. I actually commented on it to one of the lads, A bit strange to say the least....
Not a fan of his to be honest. Out of the Worlds elite players I think hes one of the least talented. His long irons are fantastic but his touch around the greens in nowhere near the best in the world. Hes worked v hard on it especially over the 5 years.
Is it a prerequisite for the weather to be shite at a Open Championship?
I don't like him personally - principally because he seems to be more preoccupied with eating pies than he is winning tournaments. He's a solid player, but he'll never win anything big, as a result of his attitude, in my view.
McDowell +7 for the day after 13 holes. feck me
Clarke's on fire, I'd love him to hold on to this form.
Beautiful birdie on the last by Clarke. I'd love to see him win it before anybody.
He's been playing awful stuff over the last few months to be fair.
He came in to today as joint favourite to win but he'll not even make the cut now
Good round from Clarke but he has got to be kicking himself a little with a couple of bogeys littered through his round. Should probably be leading but that's the joy / frustration with Links golf.
Some sublime shots being played by everyone - a joy to watch
He has not been playing well at all though, so I don't know why he was favourite. My mate got him at 33 or something yesterday. He started well last week and started to show glimpses of his old form, but he had a stinker in the final round. He just seems to be struggling with his chips and putts.
Expect McIlroy to pull a few shots back today, less pressure on him. G-Mac wont even make the cut, so much for being the favourite.
Fantastic first three holes from Dyson. He could be the one to emerge from the pack.
Played consistently well this year.
Played consistently well this year.
I hope so, I absolutely love watching McIlroy play golf. I'm looking forward to watching his round today and just hope he steps up.
Would love to see him and Dyson battle it out over the weekend
Kaymer could be a danger to everyone, he's reverted back to his "old" major winning style. Why he changed it in the first place I'll never know. Its shaping up nicely though. Of my own bets Schwartzel is looking the most likely.
I like him alot actually seems a good egg, not sure he has the mentality to win regularly.
McIlroy will need a good round to be in contention for the weekend. But the wind is picking up and the players will struggle so realistically he needs to have a great round.
I'm hoping that Clarke or Jimenez will win though. Schwartzel looks great at the moment though and if I was forced to put a fiver on someone at this moment, I'd go for him.

Yeah, hopin for somethin like a 67 from him today but by the sounds of it the weathers going to get a bit windier than it was this morning
Missed opportunity there Rory!
2 good missed opportunities missed by McIlroy.
Donald having a nightmare also.
Donald having a nightmare also.
Make that 3 good chances. If we're being honest, a really poor display from the British contingent.
Aside from the 3 missed putts McIlroys been pretty good today so far. It would be worse if he wasnt getting himself into those positions. Chance of another birdie coming up hopefully
Rory is working himself into a good position.
Just looking at the leaderboard here. In the top 20 i see only 1 Englishman, a 20 y o amateur. Surely to feck one of Donald, Westwood, Poulter, Casey, Rose etc should be challenging at this point in their home event. The yanks doin well, 8 in top 20.
Top show from us English in the big events as always 
NI in with a great chance of a winner. I never even considered Clarke for the win, but I'm starting to believe he can do it. McIlroy is in a nice position on evens. This will be a test for him. I don't think he's ever won when he hasn't blown the field apart. It'd be nice to see him scrap one out!
Kaymer in looking ominous.
Looks like the rain will kill off McIlroy, he's got to play through it while it looks to ease off for the late tee-offs.
Tom Watson showing the young uns how its done. Only player under par currently
Anyone fancy Chad Campbell to do better than most in these conditions? The texans are well used to the wind, and the rain should be drying up a bit later on. 1 shot off the lead. A good bet at 28/1 i think
Not bad for 61 eh.
Feck. Watson with a bogey on the last.
He's hanging in anyway. If he could keep it to around +2, he won't be far off the lead.
