150th Open Championship Preview with Tom Jacobs

from The Big D Podcast

In this episode, English golf betting expert Tom Jacobs and I preview the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews. First, we talk about The Old Course- the home of golf. This course was founded in the 1500s. St. Andrews has hosted 29 Open Championships. Tom says how Americans have won four of the last five Opens at St. Andrews. We mention two former Open champions at St. Andrews - Tiger Woods and Louis Oosthuizen. I mention how golfers fall in love with certain places, and both golfers have done great in multiple events here. When St. Andrews last hosted the 2015 Open, Tom remembers betting Louis and Mark Leishman. He reminds me how Zach Johnson did not have any chance of winning The Open. Johnson beat Louis and Leishman in a four-hole playoff to win the Claret Jug. Tom then gives me some Open trivia regarding the 2015 Open involving Australians and Americans. Betting becomes the next major subject. Tom likes Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Robert Macintyre, and Danny Willett. I like defending Open champion Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris, Adam Scott, and Max Homa. We also give our favorite chalky golfers for DFS. We then give our picks for who wins The Open. I like Zalatoris while Tom believes Xander will finally win his first major.
