The main puntinplay in the Open Golf tends to come at the weekend when the field has sorted itself out and all the leading contenders are facing similar conditions. The Dane Bjorn again Christian lead the field for most of the day until the amateur Tom Lewis breezed into town. The links loving 20 year old shot a 65 for a tie of the lead. He will benefit from playing with Tom Watson on day two. He is six shots clear in the “Top Amateur” market.
The focus today is the three balls and top of the list is the Yorkshire dynamo Danny Willett who is around a 4/5 chance in his threesome. Yesterday he blasted them by five shots and there is no reason to believe that he won’t be superior today. Rory Mc is the second leg. At puntinplay we fully expect the child prodigy to get into contention today so he must wins his three ball against Els and “is that you Ricky”. There is a bit of odds against on the washing line so take that before the clothes come in for drying.
Rock Solid was our pre-match tip for the top Englishman market. Yesterday he shot one under the score that you’re meant to go around in and he can win his three ball today to position himself nicely for a weekend push.
