Being held in the beautiful town of Portrush on the northern irsh north coast with amazing scenery and usually bad weather. Looking for some predictions on the winner . I tipped Danny Willet maybe a few yeas ago for one of the majors and he won got him at 66/1. My tip for this one is Tommy Fleetwood so consistant and deserves a major . Bookie offered me 33/1 today so i grabbed it.

An interesting video on the 2019 Portrush Course with much background information on what makes a links course so special. In this case a close up look at specific things like the rough, the greens, the bunkers and what it takes to make (and maintain) a top links course. Enjoy!

yeltzman built this course over on TGC 2019

he did a fantastic job and it plays sweet as can be

if you got the game give it a try.

Keep an eye on Matt Wallace, worth an E/W punt.

Windy and rain.....Rory

No wind, no rain......Xander Soufflé.
I agree with DoGgs. Matt Wallace is a serious contender assuming he doesn’t spontaneously combust after a 3 putt before Sunday evening.

No wind, no rain, Rahm.

Great selections Neal!

[Eden Borg]

I see also Jon Rahm on Top

Henrik Stenson - weather does not matter     He has had issues for a long time, but has played better and better the last month. Came 4th in Scottish Open last weekend, but my tips is more based on hope than facts...

Tommy Fleetwood very steady playing well . Rory disaster i dont get the hype about him useless today

[theclubpro]

The opposite of what ever David Duval did.

[Drgnslyr221]

Still better than Na.

Rahm looks good to me. In great form and looks ferocious! Lowry could also be a candidate. And Fleetwood. He too could be a real contender. Other than that, it's still up in the air as far as i can see. So much can happen in links and the weather is always in play. Portrush sure is a Motha of a course! This course should return more often in the rota!! And what about JNPG?...

fleetwood is my pick

Go Tommy you can do it , and deserve it if not hope Lowry wins it.

Go Tommy you can do it , and deserve it if not hope Lowry wins it.

Its going to be a doozy! Brisky winds, gusty, rain and 9 to 10 stimp on the greens. Love it or hate it, links golf is something else!

Yes indeed looks like an intresting final day..

[NoPutt]

Congrats to Shane, and what a great venue for an Open.

​Yes indeed, Portrush is a great classic Links course.  I only wish one of our many talented JNPG designers would take this one on and share it with us.
