2015 British Open at St. Andrews Discussion Thread

[Rick Martin]

OMG Just seen that my two favourites, Jason and Louis are saddled with Woods today. Having a donkey playing with you often pulls the play of the rest down towards his level. I hope their caddies have got horse blinkers in the bags so they don't need to see it..

[quote name="Abu3baid" url="/t/83040/2015-british-open-at-st-andrews-discussion-thread/390#post_1170512"] Now that's just mean..[/quote]haters gonna hate

[ChrisP]

Danny Willett? Marx Warren? What the hey? The wind is supposed to switch here soon so imagine if Willett gets to 12 and all of a sudden he's playing those holes downwind? Huge advantage for the morning guys. Afternoon guys are gonna get hosed

[Natural Patrick]

Just a hard fact of life I'm afraid

Also a hard fact that they played together yesterday. Did you expect something different today?

[Abu3baid]

Yeah who is this guy and how is he on top of the leaderboard? 1 top 10 in his career and he is 39th in the world? Huh?

[ChrisP]

Hate to say it, but Willett may be this year's Oosthuizen......get in early at -11 or -12 and then the wind will like blow like hell as soon as he finishes and the rest of the guys begin to plummet.

He's solid! Here's his OWGR performance.

T6 Dubai. 3rd WGC Match Play. Won a Euro tourney end of 2014.

The info I'm looking at is probably just the PGA tour then I'm assuming.. But at the same time we are taking about they nedbank golf challenge? Also, T57 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC? MC at US open, MC At players.. You have to admit the guy is virtually unknown..

[nevets88]

Danny Willet flighted iron.

[ChrisP]

He may be virtually unknown, but he has one thing going for him......He may getting the luckiest end of the draw, and could be huge.

I guess I just happened to catch coverage of some of his good tournaments recently. He's someone I'm somewhat familiar with.

In fact I picked him in this thread--> http://thesandtrap.com/t/82680/pick-5-guys-that-will-finish-in-top-10-that-are-out-of-top-25-world-rankings/0_30#post_1155756

How wrong I was! Missed the cut, as you said. Lol.

Also, I wrote T6 Dubai, when I meant Irish Open! I watched him there and was impressed. Probably why I picked him in the US Open above.

Is Justin Rose wearing Oakley's? Seems a bit odd - I thought he had his own Adidas Sunglasses?

Willett is not unknown for the European Tour followers. Having a good season, won a fairly big tournament

Yeah, Willett can play.

Agreed - definitely getting better and backing himself far more since the Nedbank. Played well in the Irish too, if I remember rightly.

Have some respect please.

Willett's an okay player. Wouldn't say he's great. More of a Webb Simpson type if you want to compare him to a PGA guy. Marc Warren is another guy I'm not too familiar with but he has the golfing physique and swing. Really think the afternoon guys may get screwed here. I have a feeling brutal winds are coming.

The afternoon groups got screwed yesterday, so it all works out.
