The Open 2025.

[KenL]

As far as you can trust forecasts the weather for both the Scottish and the Open Championship is looking somewhat summery.

I’m looking forward to going on Thursday.

It’s going to be baking until the Friday at Portrush but potentially rain across the weekend

Firm and fast, with some decent wind would be most appreciated

He did look a lot better this week and it’s the best he has played since Augusta

Maybe all that emotion and relief has gone now and the focus is back , he seemed a lot more cheery this week.

Think it's wide open this year.
Would love Bob Mac to win it, but he was poor last week and I think he needed better form coming into it.
Rory, Scottie, Rahm and Brooks for me.
Brooks look dialled in on the Range earlier and with Pete Cowan there, might just help that little bit more.

Bob Mac was clearly disspointed with his game over the weekend - in the interview it looked like he was biting his lip a little as if he wanted to be critical either of his game or the course but didn't want to say anymore. That said, he's probably not quite got the game for a Major win just yet, but hope he plays well.

Rahm would be my pick from the LIV field - he looked to be playing some great golf especially yesterday - and his comments suggest he's pretty happy with his game right now.

I think BobMac needs the weather to be horrific to help balance things up a bit

Will be interesting to see how Koepka does - he looked like he used to have the game that would do well at The Open

Rahms game is perfectly suited to links , always thought it would be the major he won first

Hoping a European wins , would be great to see Tommy win but can’t see it

Maybe one of the Hojgaards or Aberg

N.ireland really hasn't baked out this year at all.

We get the odd bit of good weather then it breaks and it rains for 2 days straight.

Brother was at the course yesterday and said it looks lush. Not burnt out at all.

That should play into the long hitters if it not running hard and fast

The rough will be that bit juicer. I expect low scoring all the same.

Koepka just hasn't seemed quite there so far this year. You could be right, but I am just not feeling it.

Can you explain about Rahm, what about his game is suited for links? Not disputing, just interested

He's won at lahinch and portstewart.
