Mr m,
firstly welcome. let me apoligise for
moeee ,he suffers from being a smartass most of the time and also he has all his hard earned cash tied up in St kilda winning the premiership.They continue to get worse but he continues to back them.If you could see his picture you would notice lots of abrasions from banging his head on the wall.
As far as Golf goes,the americans tend to struggle in scotland because of the rough and the greens.Its tough to land on them because there so hard.tiger won at St. andrews but he was at his peak,and could have beaten anyone that week.My tip would be ernie or Retief(hes playing well and can now handle pressure).Phil Mickelson never features over there so if you do manage to find a winner you will get value,look for someone who has been playing well in europe and someone who has featured in previous years.Thomas bjorn should have won last year.The weather will be a factor as it tends to blow a bit so I wouldnt bet till after round one and then look for someone around 4-5 off the pace so you get a good price.hope that helps
cheers
