He won at the old course by a large margin.

Any course that can be played with irons only suits Tiger Woods ..................he won the last time it was played here, without hitting a wood!

I know he isn't anywhere near best but I'm hoping he will be much shorter than 25/1 at some stage so will take some, hoping to trade!

Although Musselburgh is the oldest Gold Course in the world, im sure i read stories about gold being played in Scotland a good 100 years prior.In Fact some king banned his soldiers from playing because they were neglecting their archery lol

Rob, very interesting analysis of Open and Tiger swing ahead of this week.
Maybe for the trade, good early round. But not for me

agreed,wouldn't want a 4 day bet I don't think ,so that's why I wont take the bets in the traditional markets!

(I hope somebody lets Tiger read that summary-he is at his best when trying to prove a point-strongest willpower in the game but think he's lost the will.)

Also,his father was his discipline!
