Thought we better have a thread for the greatest major of them all.
It's wide open this year so should be a great tournament, really can't put a name on the title this time but Miguel Jimenez will be there or there abouts so I've had a cheeky each-way bet on him. Also backed 3 Brits in Graeme McDowell, Ross Fisher & Oliver Wilson  |

Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood should be up there too with their current form.
I just hope it's not some unknown American who wins it.
Paddy Power are offering each way bets and paying out on the top 7. Worth a go. 
For my outside bet I'm going for Anders Romero.

I'll be heading there on saturday(weather permitting) after the shenanagins of the golf day the night before as if i'm down that way i may as well go.
I'm a bit fed up with spain winning everything but Garcia has a good chance i think also Els usually does well on the links.

My money (and support) is on Sergio to finally get the monkey off his back.
