It did..... my three have no chance unless they get lucky!

Many a so called no chance player has won the open.

:thup: Fair point FD :lol:

 

[mcbroon]

So they still have a chance, then...?

Anyone who is in the field has a chance but 3 I can't see winning are:

Lee Westwood
Luke Donald
Phil Mickelson

 

[Holty]

Stenson
Lawrie
Duval

 

[mikee247]

Westwood, Donald, Mickelson+ 1 on these 3! I will therefore probably put my standard bet on all of them again....!

 

[shivas irons]

Tiger Woods
Rory Mcilroy
Phil Mickelson

I think the OP meant unlikely or surprise winners, Woods, Westwood, McIlroy etc wouldnt really be a major surprise if they won it.

It'd be a big surprise to me if Westwood or McIlroy won it but they could win it if they got lucky....

Which was why I picked them. Unfortunately everyone seems to think I didn't understand the OP rather than that I was dismissing those guys chances!

Took the wrong tack on this obviously....

Not really, I agree with you that it would probably surprise me if either won it but I wouldnt be too surprised given McIlroy has 2 majors already and Westwood has the talent given he's been a World No 1 as opposed to someone like Branden Grace who has just burst onto the scene but has only played in a couple of majors.

Was just trying to be controversial.....
