The Open
Winning The Open at The Royal Birkdale
Tomorrow, the golfing world will tune in to see some amazing golf. The Royal Birkdale is ready for the world’s best golfers and here at The Grateful Golfer, the pundits are split on who is going to win the third Major of 2017. I am confident with my choice, but I am a little surprised at the breakdown of where the pundits think the winner will hail from.
Can You Predict the 2017 Golf Major Winners?
Well it is that time of year again. With just 28 days until the first Major, it is time for all you ‘Amazing Kreskins’ to make your winning picks. This year’s competition will be a bit different that last year. Instead to trying to track everyone down through the year, I am asking you to make your four selections before the games even start.

Time to Predict the 2017 Golf Major Winners
Well it is that time of year again. With just 34 days until the first Major, it is time for all you ‘Amazing Kreskins’ to make your winning picks. This year’s competition will be a bit different that last year. Instead to trying to track everyone down through the year, I am asking you to make your four selections before the games even start.
Congratulations to last years winner, Mike Jones. Can he do it 2 years in a row. This is how Mike made out last year:
The Masters – Bubba Watson – T37
The US Open – Jordan Spieth – T37
The Open – Sergio Garcia – T5

The Open: Final Thoughts
From Jack Nicklaus’ Facebook page
Wow! What a final round! Many of the pundits have listed the final round of The Open between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson as one of the greatest final rounds in any Major. It is always hard to make such a statement, but if you are suggesting such bold thoughts, I am confident that Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods’ final rounds would be contenders for comparison.
Unfortunately, I only saw glimpses of the round, but social media was afire with comments and thoughts. Phil Mickelson shot a -6 and lost by 3 strokes to the winner, Henrik Stenson, who shot a -8. Both were amazing performances and Mickelson can walk with his head held high because he was defeated by a better player in the final round. Reviewing the final round, I look for expert opinions, who I respect, to sum up their thoughts and I found one I can wholeheartedly support!
