2017 Open Championship

Going on the Saturday with a few mates, then beers in Southport afterwards.

Trying to plan our day, but I cant find what the last tee time is for Saturday anywhere. I know the draw wont be until after the cut, but anyone know the last tee time. I'm guessing around 3.30 or 4.00.

It was around 2:30 last year at Troon mate on the saturday and sunday.
 
Looks like the worst of the weather will be on Friday afternoon although this could change by the hour let alone looking at a forecast 48 hours in advance!!! Surely Tommy Fleetwood will go close ??? I know his odds are prohibitive but the weather won't faze him, he's played there thousands of times and is in the form of his life.
 
Weird question but when I try and open page 1, 3 or 4 of this thread it gets blocked for adult material (I'm at work). But pages 2 and 5 are fine. What the hell did people post on those pages that would cause that?? Is it the name of a golfer that could be construed as a naughty word?? :confused:
 
I'm no gambler, especially on golf, so forgive my ignorance....

How accurate are the betting odds at the outset of a major golf tournament like this? Do the bookies usually get it right with their favourites? I tend to think that something like golf is so hard to predict, so was wondering what the "success rate" of betting on the favourites is. Does the eventual winner usually start as one of (say) the top ten favourites?

Just had a look at those pages you mention - can't see any reason why they should cause your computer to block them!

Just had a look through them on my phone and I don't know either. Thought it might be Shivas signature which mentions 'stiff shaft' but I've tested that on one of his other threads now and it opened fine. :D

The last few majors, Ive waited until the Thursday or Friday night, and you can still sometimes get 80/1 and 125/1 for people who are only 3-5 shots off the leaders.

I'll have a look tonight, but may wait a day or so before punting.
 
Fowler, Rory and Matsuyama to be in the mix with Kaymer and Kuchar as the wildcards.
 
Of the outsiders Brian Harman looks a good shout at around 150/1 and I've had small amounts on Xander Schauffele at 400/1 and Sung Kang at 940/1. Remains to be seen if the latter two can cope with links golf.

The betting market is as open as it has been for many years as the top ranked players are all a bit out of form.
