The Open Championship

Hi,


This weekend we see the start of The Open at St.Andrews.

All eyes will be on this beautiful part of the world as this university town will host one of the biggest golf tournaments of the year.

If you have never been to St.Andrews I thoroughly suggest you do.

The last time I visited was last March when me and the family were based in Llinlithgow for a weeks holiday. Llinlithgow is based between Glasgow and Edinburgh and an ideal place to stay if travelling around sightseeing.

We travelled to St.Andrews around tea time one day after a tour of Perth and Dundee. Being March it was a bit chilly any way, but even I was not considering being in a sudden snow storm whilst on the beach with the dog!

After getting our feet wet in freezing water due the tide rolling in, we made our way to the first tee at St.Andrews after scrambling up the side of the nearest car park to dry off! 

Looking out to the expanse of the St.Andrews course takes your breath away. In March there was hardly a sole around, it will be much different this weekend with thousands of golfing fans travelling from all around the world to watch the events unfold.

So, whose your money on?

Plenty have chances of course with a very strong field lining up.

Ideally your looking for a player who enjoys links golf, also someone who can play in changeable weather.

You would think this rules out the majority of the American players, but there are a few that could go well. Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler have 'been there, seen it and done it' before! However value lacks with both players.

On the 'home' front I'm personally struggling to see anyone go well with value. So we look abroad and two players that catch the eye.

The first of these is Louis Oosthuizen from South Africa. Capable of anything on his day, loves links courses and has played well in similar conditions on plenty of occasions. But once again the price is lacking a little value.

The second player is German Martin Kaymer who is slowly getting his act together after a mediocre couple of years. Once again loves links courses and has had many positive finishes. Kaymer has been looking forward to The Open at St.Andrews for a number of years. Most importantly he looks value and is currently available around the 40/1 mark.

Of course, I'm no expert!
