Fans Top Picks!

  1. Dustin Johnson

Coming off of his first major U.S. Open win and seven top-5 finishes in his past nine starts, DJ is definitely a force to be reckoned with. DJ's ball-striking at Oakmont was breathtaking as he finally claimed his first major. Johnson’s length off the tee will serve him well on the downwind front nine this week, which has a number of driveable par-4s, and be a huge plus coming in against the wind. He’s also had a total of four top 15s in his British Open career, including a T-2 in 2011.

  1. Sergio Garcia

Sergio may still be searching for his first major championship but his game is in undeniably great shape, his last two starts being a recent victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson and a tie for fifth at the U.S. Open. He also has a veteran-like record at the Open Championship with nine career top-10s and two runner-up finishes.

  1. Adam Scott

Scott has a total of five (four of which happen to be in a row) top-10s at the Open Championship, including his runner-up finish in 2012. Scott is also playing well this season, gaining back-to-back early season wins in Florida and making 14-of-14 cuts thus far, not to mention he typically plays well on links golf courses.

  1. Jason Day

Since falling one shot short of a playoff last year and ultimately finishing T-4 at St. Andrews, Day had been dominating on the Tour. The Aussie has since managed seven wins worldwide and has placed in the top-10 in his last five major starts. Clearly with three wins already this year alone the PGA Tour’s World No. 1 is coming this week to play.

  1. Louis Oosthuizen

Although Oosthuizen hasn’t been at the top of his game in some time now, the South African won the British Open in 2010 and was runner-up last year. His picture-perfect swing holds up in windy conditions, which definitely should not go unnoticed. Oosthuizen is also one of just a handful of players in the field who has ever finished in the top two twice in this event.

Best of luck to all the players in the field this week!
