Tiger Woods doesn't win. Too hurty. Phil Mickelson doesn't win. Despite winning the Scottish Open last week, Muirfield will be set up to punish anyone off the fairway. Lefty is too wild. Graeme McDowell seems like a good play. Leading the Tour in driving accuracy and scrambling percentage. He'll need both this week, but I'm calling a Top 5. Sergio Garcia will finish in the Top 10. Insane record at the Open. Charl Schwartzel comes out on top. |

Lefty is my guy. He has played well this year. |

He has, but Ugie is right. Typically lefty misses too many fairways to win on a course like this. Graeme and Charl in the top 5. I think Rory kind of comes around this week and has a solid tourny. Maybe a top 10 or top 12. |

I definitely think a Euro will win. Stenson has been playing as well as anyone the last couple of months. I will go with him just to be different. |

As far as Phil, he is not even going to bring his driver to the golf course, he has that strong 3 wood and he is going to the well with it. He seems to have a lof of confidence and I would like very much if he could win. |

I picked McDowell but it wouldn't surprise me if Luke Donald or Lee Westwood finally get on the majors board. |

Going with Brandt Snedeker to get his first major. Tiger never in contention and I completely sleep through the final round Sunday because of that. |

You never know in Scotland but I guess they expect warm, dry and no rain. For now. I think that generally makes these British Open courses easier minus those dumbass bunkers. |

Not so much, at least for the long-hitters. Links-style courses that are dried out and fast really mess with any player's distance control during a round. Players who are typically dialed-in with their clubs to a single yard will have no idea how far a ball will roll on the hard, dry fairways. Game plans and course planning are thrown out the window. Snedeker is a great pick considering his recent history at the Open. He's one of the best putters in the world and is incredibly patient on tough courses. Same can be said about G-Mac. |

Always rooted for Nicklaus during their battles but that would've been the greatest golfing story of my lifetime had he pulled that off. One of the few times I gave a shit about a single player losing that I was actually bummed out for a couple days |

Great. Tiger is under suspicion for another questionable golf-course thing. Wonderful. |

Tiger marked his ball "questionably" according to Twitter viewers. He basically placed his coin further back from his ball by half an inch. Don't know how that would help him, but people are talking about it. It's laughable. |

Oosthueizen withdrew. Second major in a row he's done that. |
