I’ve selected a few players I am interested to see play at Royal Birkdale in
The Open Championship this week.

Reinier Saxton the current British Amateur champion who is playing with Vijay Singh. It will be interested to see how he gets on.
David Duval. I just like Duval, his recent travails have been well chronicled but we Brits remember his dignified performance and speech when he won The Open at Royal Lytham and his dignity at the 2002 Ryder Cup. Besides he shot probably the best ever competitive round of golf with his 59 at the Bob Hope Classic.
Rohan Blizard a young Australian who pre qualified with 2 fine rounds at Hillside. He’s also got the coolest name “The Blizzard” a marketing & PR dream!
Brandt Snedeker. I was so impressed with his game and overall attitude at The Masters this year, a breath of fresh air.
Ryundi Imada. I’m not familiar with him but he apparently left Japan for the US at age 14 to attend golf academy and now plays on the PGA Tour winning the AT&T Classic this year so it will be fascinating to see how he gets on.

Other than Duval these golfers haven’t played in The Open before so I’m keen to see how they cope with the conditions and links golf.
