Marquee names at Carnoustie
-
- July
- 18
After Zach Johnson, a very good player, won the Masters and Angel Cabrera, a very good player, won the U.S. Open, it’s time a brand name wins a major.
I think Carnoustie will play relatively easy this week in the Open Championship (you may know it as the British Open) and that will ensure that a great player will win. I think the leaderboard will be littered with some of the biggest names in golf.
Obviously, you never, ever bet against Tiger Woods in a major, especially one he’s won three previous times with double-digit under-par scores each time.
But I think Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh and, yes, even Sergio Garcia will be in the hunt this weekend, starting in a few hours, actually. I wouldn’t be shocked if any of those five won. Ernie hasn’t won in a long while and Garcia is the best player without a major, but they’ll be involved. Colin Montgomerie will also have something to say.
Phil Mickelson? No. This isn’t his type of major. The other young guns? I don’t see it. Maybe Aaron Baddeley, but probably not. And no no-names. Please, no no-names.

About Carnoustie you say “Please, no no-names.” Everyone is a “no-name” until they win. Do you really want the same people to win over and over? I love to see some no-namke come from out of the ranks and win. How can a “no-name” become a “name” without winning?
