The Open Championship 16-19 July 2009 Turnberry

[corn02]

Will do my bets in the middle of next week.

At the moment i'll put the usual few pound on Fuyrk with Poulter and Mahan attracting interest.

Who are the big outsiders worth a punt? Graham Storm at 200 looks decent as does Petterson.

[corn02]

I had my first look at the Scottish leaderboadr directly after that post and I see Storm is having a Stormer. Get on now before he drops 50 points.

Lowry had a 69, well played.

[full back]

What about Nick Dougherty (sp)?

Heard an interview with him yesterday & he sounded quite confident
Would he be worth a few ££ ew

[venter]

sure thats great Venter must keep an eye out for the mayo flag enjoy it,  oh and tell tiger i said hello 

I will get John Moyles working on a sign for me.

[Irenses]

Kaymer is on some form after two wins on the trot. Still think he's too inexperienced to win a major but an each way effort @33/1 I reckon is worth a punt.

[Gaffer]

Read today in Irish News that there was speculation that Woods was going to play a round at Murvagh in Donegal this morning with Darren Clarke.

Anyone know if it happened?

[ONeill]

Darren ate him.

Cmon Clarke ye big puddin. You've now cost me £600 in majors. 150-1 this week.
