A good hit in the middle of what is proving to be a very changing professional golf landscape will be the ecstasy and irony of perhaps the biggest celebration in the history of the game, as the world’s oldest tournament turns 150 years old instead. most venerable: the Old Course. in Sant Andreu.
Maybe that’s what golf needs at the perfect time, with all the best players in the world converging on the same tournament for apparently the last time this year and potentially for the last time in much more than that.
This is a debate for another time, however, as I will begin this preview of The Open with a little history lesson.
It was in 1986 when the Master Tournament reached its 50th anniversary and for anyone with a brief knowledge of these things, this should not be said. Yes, Jack Nicklaus prevailed in a Sunday comeback for all those days, capturing his sixth green jacket at 46, which was a very nice way to celebrate the Big 5-0 at Augusta National.
Fourteen years later, USGA competed in the 100th edition of the U.S. Open at a small venue called Pebble Beach. Even if you haven’t been able to get the Nicklaus / 1986 correlation off the tip of your tongue in time, this should be even easier, as Tiger Woods triumphed with a record 15 times that week, turning the number 100 into his own personal coronation.
It seems that the gods of golf like these birthdays of round numbers, rewarding the game not only with deserving champions, but also with legends of all time in the circle of eventual winners, which must be borne in mind as we look at the forecast of events. ‘this week.
While these ubiquitous golf gods will no doubt join in this celebration, it remains to be seen whether another metaphysical spirit will make their presence known.
While Scottie Scheffler has been the best golfer on the planet so far this year, the game’s MVP is none other than Mother Nature. It took five days to finish THE PLAYERS Championship, which was confusing for the time of the four seasons during that time. The same for the next three big championships, each of which experienced a bit of heat and cold, rain and sun, wind and calm.
This is the main one, of course, where we expect these things more than the others, but the initial forecast calls for high temperatures between 68 and 72 for this week’s tournament rounds, with a bit of rain at times and winds blowing. between 10 mph and 25 mph, which is just a small tickle for the people of Fife.
Don’t be surprised if, or maybe when, there are a few scores in the 63-64 range, or maybe even 62, if Mother Nature doesn’t show up for this celebration. The best defense for the Old Course is a strong breeze, but if it never happens, well, Scheffler could win MVP honors after all.
With all of this in mind, let’s go to the polls, starting with an absolute winner who would greatly follow the trend of the big players earning majors on those important anniversaries.
A player to win the tournament.
Rory McIlroy (+1000)
A year and a month ago, Jon Rahm entered the U.S. Open in Torrey Pines with many stories in his favor: a place that held a special place in his heart, a factor of revenge / motivation after being forced to WD Memorial Tournament after a positive result from COVID and, yes, a reputation for being the best player in the world at the time. Of course, as a favorite before the tournament, he had short odds, but he always felt like the right game that week, which bore fruit when he finally won.
Well, doesn’t McIlroy feel similar for this one?
With his own collection of stories that entered the final competition of the year, Rory has suffered a tear in recent months, with seven consecutive finals in the top 20, although they are the biggest where has played some of his best golf, and I characterize it. as “some of their best” because when you win four major titles at 25, then you go 0 for the next eight years, results in second place (Master), eighth (PGA) and fifth (USA). Open) only feeds more questions about what he could achieve if, or when, he finally makes four full rounds in one of these events.
The truth is that each of these performances was plagued by a singular inconsistency: either a bad round or a poor stretch of holes or a poor club in the bag that I couldn’t figure out.
Why should this week be different? There are a few reasons.
First of all, his game has seemed more blocked lately, especially from that range of 100-125 yards, which has so curiously baffled him in recent years. Second, if Mother Nature decides not to cooperate with our Schadenfreudist whims and gives us winds of 40 miles per hour and side rain, the birds will be available in groups and there is no one to pile them up like Rory.
Then there’s the fact that he’s been the smartest voice in the game on all issues of recent changes, which he told me last month hasn’t served as the biggest motivation to play better, but it’s easy to see that tenacity outside of the field and within the field. of the hand. And while his Open Championship record is a bit checked recently, he has a great history in this tournament.
Last year’s T46 arrived in the middle of a daunting summer, there were no events the year before and in 2019, with the weight of a nation on its shoulders, it hit its first OB starting shot. at Royal Portrush and a furious demonstration on the second day. He couldn’t put him on the right side of the cut line, but before that, he had finished 2nd-4th-5th-1st in consecutive open championship starts. Although the 2015 festivities at St. Andrews due to a football injury (remember?), In 2010 he was T3 here.
If you really need another narrative in addition to all of these, go back to what I wrote in the previous introduction. Some of the most important anniversaries of the biggest tournaments have given the most important names to the top of the standings. The idea of Jack, Tiger and Rory helps to offer a good bit of symmetry here.
Potential selections for one and done options.
Jordan Spieth (+1600)
If there’s one description of Spieth’s performance at the Scottish Open last week, it’s that it was positively, well … Spiethy. (File it at: IYKYK.) Hole …
