The British Open is at St Andrews again so who's got a tip for the betting.
Tiger woods is the clear bookies favorite at 3 -1 with phil mickelson, ernie els, lee westwood, rory mcilroy and padrig harrington out at 14-1 and grahame mcdowell out at 25-1.
I think St Andrews will favour the likes of westwood and mcdowell because it's all about positional iron play and thinking your way around and so they have got to be good odds but if tiger leaves the driver in the bag he could also be in there at the end. what do others think?

I dont think you can overlook Woods and Mickleson but personally I think Poulter & Westwood will take some inspiration from the McDowell win and hopefully kick on and do it for the English lads.
And given Westwood has just ripped his calf muscle again.........
.......My tip is Poulter!

With Westwood struggling with his leg problem I'm now going for Rory McIlroy and Graeme Mcdowell as the best chance we have to keep the winner this side of the pond (dismissing Ernie Els because South Africa is as far away from Scotland as the US is)

I don't think i'd be tempted to part with any hard earned money on him and i'm not really a fan, (not sure why), but given that he seems to have struck some form at the right time, Justin Rose will have to be considered, personally i'd plump for Harrington.

I'd also go for Harrington. He's not a flash golfer and I think he knows his limits which means he doesn't tend to go for the big shot, just good, solid, steady play and then see if the others fall away.
But, if it wasn't for the fact that it seems Tiger is headed for a very expensive and no doubt messy divorce I'd go for him. He likes St Andrews and, when on form, his iron play is superb (and that's whats needed on the Old Course).

Looks like my bet on Rory McIlroy is looking better by the day, even Tiger has said he thinks McIlroy is the main challenger. Being a Northern Irish man hes certainly got the links game. Has he got the tempreament???

Tiger at 6.8 to 1 on betfair has to be the pick, plus a little bit of the form horses Justin Rose [22to 1],Steve Stricker [40 to 1] and Graeme McDowell [37 to 1]

I Think Louis Oosterhuizen might do it by 7 shots!
