The Open Competition!
It's the third major of the season and the 'Spieth Slam' express train rolls in to St Andrews. TexasWedge won this competition last year while jimbohammers and JDizzle have taken the Masters and US Open competitions respectively so far this season.
The rules remain the same so if you haven't played before all you have to do is select six golfers, before the first tee off on Thursday, then sit back and see how they get on. I will hopefully get a leaderboard up for each round sometime the following morning.
The winner will be the person with the lowest combined score from their three best finishers. That allows upto three of your selections to not make the cut. The competition scores will be the actual scores from the golfers. So if you have Jordan Spieth and he scores 280 for his four rounds, you get 280 towards you score.
The full rules are listed at the bottom of this post.
Here is a list of the winners so far and you can see the previous Masters' final leaderboards in the spoilers below:-
The Open 2014
1) Select six golfers before 6.25am on Thursday.
2) Your score will be the cumulative scores from the three best performing golfers of your six selections.
3) As in any golf competition the person with the lowest score wins. Par for this competition would be 864.
4) You must have at least three of your selections make the cut in order to win.
5) In the event of a tie for first place, your fourth best placed selection will be the decider. If there is still a tie after that the fifth then sixth selections will be considered respectively.
Hope that explains it all and good luck.

Re: The Open Competition!
The boring and predictable amongst us, and those without a sense of adventure will pick Spieth and Fowler, so I'll do the usual and pick some others instead.
1. Paul Casey
2. Davy Howell
3. Davy Lingmerth
4. Franny Molinari
5. Matsuyama
6. Luke Donald.
Cheers sporty.

I really hope Spieth and Fowler fail dismally. It will take a lot of pick out.

Re: The Open Competition!
I've picked based on form and history at open/St Andrews.
5 of the past 6 winners have finished in Top 6 the year preceding their win hence the Fowler pick.
Those who have historically done well at St Andrews have played the course before and had success with Top 10 finishes...hence Casey plus his form.
Boring it may be...but I'm looking to win in my first attempt so will stick to what I think best

Re: The Open Competition!
So the top 6 favourites then?
You can do what you like, obviously, and looking back you're not actually the only one. But just picking the top 5 favourites plus the 8th favourite or whatever it is you've got there isn't really the point for me. Hey ho
