The Open - Questions.
      #140973 - 03/07/2009 19:54

So here's some questions for you......

1. Who will win the Open? And why?

2. Who would you like to win the Open? And why?

3. Who would you not like to win the Open? And why?




1. Tiger will win it. Because he hasn't got a Major at the moment and the rule of Tiger says that he must have one!!

2. Any of the Brits for the obvious reasons. Or Jiminez - as reward for entertaining us all for years.

3. An American Journeyman - any of them because the Open deserves better.

Tiger as he is quietly going about his business again

Westwood - my modern hero

Tiger - another major is not necessarily all good for the game in general

1. Justin Leonard.

2. Ross Fisher-best british talent and comes across as a spot on, very sensible guy.

3. Tommy Nakajima-his choice of hats is very poor.

1. Probably Tiger cos he's good round links and he's got some form back

2. Like to see Casey win , just seems like a nice fella and has a great golf game that I like to watch

3. Definitely dont want someone like a Boo Weekley type of yank. All mouth and no class

Padraig to win. Because it will wind the yanks up no end
and lets be honest, it would be an awesome achievement.

Would love Westwood to win. He deserves at least one major

Tiger. Firstly because he is yank and secondly he needs to learn some manners and a touch of humility. Also, as a side bar cos I am fed up with every interviewer asking every pro (even if they have shot lower than tiger) what they think Tiger will do? And lets be honest that’s got to p*ss you off.

Enjoy "The Open"

1.Probably Tiger, back in the swing again this week, got a feeling about Goosen though.
2.Paul Casey-general nice guy and British.
3.Again whoever wins would have deserved it so good luck to them.

1,Tiger if he keeps the ball something like off the tee he wont be touched

2.Poulter- i think he deserves one,great player came from selling mars bars and as more self belief than anyone, what a top man

3.any journeyman i want to see a few top players battling it out over the last 9 holes

Nice Watson vs Nicklaus repeat will do me just nicely

1. Tiger will win, he has the game to tame Turnberry if the right Tiger turns up.

2. Casey, Poulter, Westwood, Rose, Fisher or Donald. Stands to reason.

3. Anyone either A) not British or B) outside the top 10 world rankings. The last thing we need is another US Open with a no-name journeyman winning who everyone will forget about in a week. (i've just had to google who won the US Open as I couldnt remember )

Rose coloured spec time

Think will win = Casey - World no 3 and in better form than the top 2.

Would like to win = Dougherty - I've slated him for not making the most of his talent, and he's already proved me wrong this year, let's go one better and downright take the proverbial. Wouldn't be upset if Fisher won, though.

Would like not to win = Tiger - I think only people who are at the top of their form should win the top tournament. If Tiger wins it'll be with his 'B' game, which can't be good for golf. Or Kenny Perry - It's not fair that anyone with such a terrible swing can be so good ( me? jealous? yup !! I hate him )

It will depend on the weather . If it stays 'calmish' then you have to have a punt on Tiger . If it blows a hooley , then it'll be open for lots

I'd love to see Montgomerie win it....failing that , any Brit but would be very pleased if Ross Fisher or Paul Casey triumphed

I'd like to NOT see Tiger win it. The more competition we have for the World's No1 , the better for world golf IMO.

1. Tiger has everything in his locker to win it and think he will win.

2. I would like to see any of our lads especially Donald (if fit) Casey or Poulter.All good lads who are capable of matching tiger. I wouldn't be unhappy if sergio won either

3. Not too bothered as long as its not a yank ( except tiger)

1. Tiger if he gets his putter working no one will get close

2. Tiger I want him to prove he is the best ever and beat Jack

3. Fat Phil I don't trust fat people they take more than they need, also cannot stand the inane expression on his face all the time, he looks like someone has told him a joke and he doesn't get it.

1. Difficult, they're all so good at blowing it. Ogilvie

2. Poulter - because it will be like nails on a blackboard to an awful lot of people. Failing him, Fisher, Casey or Norman or (if he's playing) Faldo

3. Tiger, because! Kenny Perry - because I want to slap him (always looks so smug),
