British Open Tips

The Open Championship - Royal Birkdale GC, Southport, ENG

20 July 2017 - 23 July 2017

Tip date: 17 July 2017

Arguably the biggest tournament of the year arrives this week with the 146th Open Championship. Royal Birkdale is this year’s venue and it’s a classic links test. The wind could be a factor this week and the course should be running a little firm. Henrik Stenson won last year’s event.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Paul Casey	2pt each way 33-1	Bet365 TOP TEN	Finishing position: T11 Back Paul Casey Again
Paul has really re-established himself over the last few years and all his CV lacks is a major. He’s a skilled links player and had a high finish at Birkdale in 2008. Well worth an each way interest.
Phil Mickelson	2pt each way 45-1	SkyBet TOP TEN	Finishing position: MC Back Phil Mickelson Again
If Phil’s going to have one last Hurrah it’s probably at the Open. He’s come back into form this season and looks capable of winning again. He’s an adept links player and his short game will be a big bonus this week.
Branden Grace	2pt each way 45-1	SkyBet TOP TEN	Finishing position: T6 Back Branden Grace Again
Branden has conquered the European Tour over the last few years with a string of wins. He’s showing signs of evolving into a World class player. What really catches the eye are his performances in the US with a win last season and a series of high Major finishes. A Major Champion in waiting and well up to the links test.
