Following on from Luke Donald pulling out of The Open Golf Championship with a wrist injury and looking as though his Ryder Cup team place challenge had ended, there was immediate drama with news that defending champion Padraig Harrington has a right wrist injury which, he said, would prevent him even starting any other tournament than this one.

Justin Rose hoping to improve on 4th place at this year’s British Open Golf Championship

Posted by Big G under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf, The Four Majors, The Open Championship

Englishman Justin Rose, the heroic teenage amateur who set the crowds alight by finishing fourth at Royal Birkdale in the 1998 Open Championship, is now back, ten years on as a seasoned pro, hoping he can recreate some of the magic.

He says that while he can draw inspiration from that performance - where he finished fourth, just one stroke behind Tiger Woods - he should now be capable of going slightly better. He said: “Even par? I’ve got to believe that if I put just a little bit of my approach from ‘98 into my game now hopefully I can go alittle better.”

Posted by Big G under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf, The Four Majors, The Open Championship

In the absence of Tiger Woods, is the big draw and crowd favourite at this year’s Open. The enigmatic John Daly is at Birkdale and raring to go, depite having tendinitis in his left arm. He has not played much recently, and did not play at Birkdale as much as the other top names, but says he has has had four days of solidly good practice at home and is determined to do well. He said: “I feel like I just want to go out and play. It’s an Open, it’s very special to me, and I told the doctor I am going to play no matter what.”

Open Championship Latest: Strong Winds Forecast For British Open At Royal Birkdale

Posted by Big G under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf, The Four Majors, The Open Championship

The strong wind, which is forecast to continue through the weekend, has been a big topic amomg the players. Below pictured Steve Stricker, the experienced American who tied eighth at Carnoustie last year, was one of many to comment. He said: “All the par threes are in some sort of crosswind. You can just imagine where they are going to put some of those pins, so the ability to get it close is going to be very tough. And if it rains as well? Well if it’s like today you couldn’t even get an umbrella up. That’s pretty tough!”
