Many of the world's top golfers are taking part in the Scottish Open being played at the Renaissance Club, Berwick, beginning today - first tee-off due at 11.45.
No doubt all entrants will be striving to win, but some will content themselves using this tournament to acclimatise themselves to British weather and playing conditions ahead of The Open next week.
After all 3 of my selections missed the cut last week, i'm keeping my powder dry as to backing an outright winner - until end of play tomorrow. I have, however, done enough studying to come up with one player who is in tremendous form on the circuit and could be there at the death.
£2.50 e.w. Ryan Fox @ 40/1 - 8 places - used my free £5 bet with Sky.
Glorious weather here on the east coast today, in fact it has been fine all week. St Andrews is already hoochin' with visitors for The Open. My son drives a bus on that route and would be tearing his hair out if he had any. Still, great for the local economy and I'll just steer clear until it's over.
