2007 British Open Odds and Lines

[lars17]

The British Open is the oldest and most prestigious event in golf and perhaps in major sports. It is so rich in history and tradition and requires so much skill to and execution to win that no less an authority than Tiger Woods claimed that it is his favorite tournament, period. And as so as we eagerly await the starting of this grand event at Carnoustie in Scotland the players are busy with last minute preparations. The tee off times in the field of 150 plus golfers are early according to tradition and the logistical needs to accommodate all the golfers. All groups will consist of three players and a group will be sent off to the tees every 11 minutes until everyone has participated.

The most anticipated grouping of the day will, of course, be Woods’. He will be playing the first two days with Justin Rose, a local Briton, and Paul Lawrie, also a former British Open champ who won the last time the event was held at Carnoustie in 1999. Woods, the two-time defending champion of the British Open, is attempting to make history by becoming just the second player in modern golf history to win the event three years in a row. The group will tee off at 9:09 am on Thursday morning and 9:20 am on Friday morning. This is a very good time to tee off both days, before the course gets to warm and dry, and the weather is usually much more calm in the mornings.

Another interesting group of note will contain Chris DeMarco, last year’s runner up to Woods, European star Darren Clarke, and 2005 US Open champ, Michael Campbell. This group will tee off at 7:58 am on Thursday morning and 1:09 in the afternoon on Friday. World number three, Phil Mickelson will be teeing off at 2:20 pm on Thursday and 9:09 am in the morning on Friday. He will be paired with Toru Taniguchi and Ryder Cup veteran Lee Westwood.

He’s going for three in a row at the British Open, wife and child at home. I understand the distraction of the new father but Nick Faldo points out that he and others have won majors with newborns. And Tiger’s practical precision last year in Liverpool is likely to be aped by other would-be contenders who can’t play six-irons to birdie range like he can. Look for renewed focus after hosting in D.C. and his acute awareness of history, and the fact that the Royal Bank of Scotland routinely advertises Jack as the best major winner of all time.

What can you say. He should have already won a major, probably several. He’s got a bit of Mickelson in him on the aggressiveness front but the bigger weakness is putting. He’ll put it together one day, I imagine, and it may as well be in the 2007 British Open, where he’s finished T5 the last two years.
