Well, the British Open (The Open!) is coming up in a couple of weeks so who do ya reckon is going to take the Claret Jug?
Martin Kaymer may be the man to beat, man if he can take his US Open form with him look out.
Is there an American player who take it out? My guess is that a European or perhaps the likes of Aussie Jason Day will win, or maybe Adam Scott can put his bad Sunday's behind him.
Anyone?

What is the British Open?
Tennis? Golf? Caber-tossing?

You may be joking, but I honestly don't know which sport it is. Embarrassing, really.

Google is your friend...
It is arguably the most important major tournament in golf.
Okay, not many golfers on CEO, I get it.
Vlad, with so many great South African players over the years you amaze me.

LOL! If you haven't already heard it, look for David Attenborough narrating Curling. It's not on YouTube, I think Huffington Post has it as original content.

No arguably about it The Open is the most important major in golf. Notoriously difficult to pick a winner in a major and throw in the unpredictable links weather into the equation it makes it even harder. From a viewing angle I want rough weather to blow away all the US tour target golf merchants out of contention. I think now McIlroy has got rid of his female baggage this could be his year. Assuming he's playing and I haven't checked the field yet Cabrera as an outsider.

Last time I looked, Rory was playing. Agree with the weather, a day or two of strong wing always sorts the men from the boys.
Yeah, you can't write off Cabrera, I'd love to see one of the older guys win it, with Norman and Watson coming so close it may happen one day.
