Yep that is probably the easiest prediction when trying to handicap this year’s Open. Sorry for mentioning Barkley in the same breath as World class golfers, maybe he is someone I would love to watch play in a Major? His swing is so bad it’s good (like reality TV) and needs to be shown whenever possible (like Megan Fox in a Star Wars shirt).

So with no Tiger lurking at Royal Birkdale, who is going to win? Who are you picking?

The course has a reputation as the fairest of all links courses in the British Open rotation only making the job of picking a winner than much harder.

It all kicks off bright and early on Thursday. Here are the odds that Vegas is spitting out for your betting enjoyment.
