    If I had a bet, I would have a punt on Patrick Reid.....Also think Justin Rose will be in the mix

    Off to Portugal Saturday morning for one week and 6 rounds of golf with my big brother. I am normally knackered after a couple of rounds so god know what I'll feel like after 6 rounds back to back. should be fun tho.

    That's a proper golfing break, hope the weather is good for you.
    We went there a few years back, 16 of us and the golf was awesome. We had a days break between the golf and a 4 of us went sea fishing, we caught enough fish to have a BBQ in the evening for all 16. Perfect as we had rented an 8 bedroomed villa in private grounds with swimming pool, huge brick built BBQ area and all other kinds of ****.

    Dustin is an aggressive type player and his game is not really suited for Oakmont, classed as one of the toughest courses out there. The same can be said regarding Mcllroy. As for the winner; obviously rooting for any of the Brits but if they fail then a cheeky each way bet on Mickelson for me.
