The British Open
You've probably thought a Tiger-less British Open is going to be boring. Not.
Jim Furyk has already fired off the golfing quip of the season reviewing the setting, "I'd probably have to say that the tea is highly overrated and the beer is highly underrated."
There's a guy who has it figured out. He could be in contention come Sunday.
The Clarion's suggestion, put some money on your favorite, Tiger's not playing, it is wide open, and nothing sharpens the interest like a little action.
The odds makers put Furyk at 4 to 1, tied for the 6th choice with Adam Scott. The top five in the eyes of the bookies: Sergio Garcia is the favorite, followed by Ernie Els, Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington.
A few long shots to consider, Rocco Mediate at 150 to 1. Paul Lawrie at 175 to 1. And how 'bout putting a couple of quid on John Daly at 200 to 1.
See the full board here.

What about the Shark, where did he come from. -1 After the second round. Talk about the year for your elders...Rocco showing up strong at the US open, and now Norman? When was the last time Norman even played in any kind of tournament? well any way based on history we all know that it will not last...Whats next is Watson gonna show up at Oakland Hills and give a clinic on how to out last time?
Sorry, my bad should have waited for Norman to finnish. Even par is still pretty crazy to think after not playing for how many years? Did you here that he married Chris Everet? May be the hot milf karma is kicking in for him...lets see a Rocco/Shark sunday and let the Shark follow the history and give Rocco what he deserved at the US, a victory!!
How did the shark even qualify for the British Open? He must be getting some good lovin from Chris, making him feel decades younger!
