The Open Competition!

by sportform Mon 15 Jul 2013, 5:27 pm

The majors return this week with The Open at Muirfield. EmmDee57 won The Masters Competition back in April with Shotrock taking the honours in the US Open Competition in June.

EmmDee57 also won last year's Open competition and will be looking to defend the title. With the first tee being 6.32am on Thursday morning it is probably best to get your entries in by Wednesday evening.

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 Tiger Woods 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 Open 2010, 2011 & 2012 final leaderboards in the spoilers below:-

	The Masters	US Open	The Open	US PGA
2013	EmmDee57	Shotrock
2012	Alsie	Bobby4320	EmmDee57	dynamark
2011	GG	WillyGilly	Yadsendew	Faldono1fan
2010	navyblueshorts	no1yankee	Rich	venice1

The Open 2012

Spoiler:

The Open 2011

Spoiler:

The Open 2010

Spoiler:

To clarify here are the rules:-

1) Select six golfers before 6.32am 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 852.

4) You must have atleast 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.

I'm glad I get my picks in fairly early so everyone else knows who not to choose. So these are the players who will have the INW jinx on them. I have put money on the first 5
Bill Haas
Luke Donald
Hunter Mahan
Matt Kuchar
Brandt Snedeker
David Lynn

I haven't put money on Lynn but I follow him on Twitter. Hilarious.

PS Thanks Sportsville
