16 July - The Open

The Bets:

Dustin Johnson £2 e/w @12/1

Henrik Stenson £2 e/w @22/1

Paul Casey £2 e/w @ 40/1

Matt Kuchar £2 e/w @ 50/1

Brooks Koepka £2 e/w @ 50/1

Information:

An excellent opening round of 65 from Dustin Johnson gave him the early lead. Casey (70), Koepka (71) and Kuchar (71) can be pleased with their opening day's work but Stenson ended with a one over par 73.

Round two was seriously delayed by first rain and later high winds but when that was finally completed on Saturday evening Johnson still had a one shot lead at 10 under. Kuchar is six shots off the pace with Casey and Koepka a further shot back and Stenson one more behind.

Most of our players fell back over the last two rounds. Dustin Johnson posted two 75s to finish at four under, Casey (75, 72) finished at level, Stenson and Kuchar both posted two under par rounds to finish four under and three under respectively. Best finisher of our selections was Brooks Koepka with 69, 68 for a ten under total but that was still only enough to finish equal tenth, five off the winner.
