Market leaders to conquer St Andrews

The Open Championship 2015

I'm on my holidays and too busy golfing to write a full blog, but thought I'd share my selections anyway!

I would have been keen on Grace and Oosthuizen again, after Chambers Bay, but the prices have obviously collapsed after their stellar efforts - good luck to anyone who got them at fancy ante post prices!

With reports - and the videos I've seen - St Andrews is playing particularly soft and I think it plays into the hands of the market principles; when it's fast and fiery, it opens up to the field a little more. Spieth is obviously, and rightly so, favourite - but at 8/1, I'm happy to leave him alone. With no Rory, he's got an outstanding chance to make history at the USPGA; but there's some class acts in behind, who will be quietly confident with the world number one not there.

My first pick is Adam Scott. Scott made a conscious decision to woo Stevie Williams out of retirement, and this along with Augusta is what he was really looking him for. With Williams caddying for Tiger in both his wins around here, Scott will be able to pick his brains on the do's and don't's. Scott’s limited schedule means we don't actually get to see him too much, but a solid showing at Chambers Bay will give him plenty of momentum.

My second pick is Henrik Stenson. Henrik's game suits St Andrews down to a tee, in my opinion. His iron play is sublime, and with such big greens, his accuracy can leave him in the right spots to attack for birdies, but also to ensure of minimal mistakes on the greens. 

William Hill have gone 25/1 for both this morning, so both each way selections for me. Apologies for the briefness, but let's hope for a decent result.

Enjoy the tourney and good luck with whoever you do.

Adam Scott - 25/1 with Will Hill 2pts each way
