The Open golf championship
If you want a clue as to how to trade this event, just have a look at the weather forecast for a massive clue. Changed course, competitive tournament, poor weather ahead of the cut.
I notice that after nearly winning it last year Tom Watson is priced at 300’s for something similar this year. I don’t think that is realistic, he was 1000 last year. Stewart Cink is 150, he was 800’s last year. Justin Rose is priced to be in contention, but a lot of his golf is on the US tour now, not sure if that form will translate to the Open.
Curiously, Justin Rose used to live near me and his local course was just up the road. Only when he was an amateur breaking into the professional scene though. We did end up playing on the same course once at the same time and other than having dinner with Colin Montgomerie once, that’s about the closest I will ever get to the claret jug.
One thing I do love about golf though is the ability to play on the same course and relive the famous shots from the big tournaments. I think that adds something special to the game of golf. Trying running on Old Trafford with your mates to have a kick around and you will be arrested, with Golf you can tread in the same footsteps as those you admire. It’s a inspiring feeling.
