The Old Course at St. Andrews – Who Will Win The Open?

standrews-847-davidcannon-smIf you have not been to Scotland to play the Old Course at St. Andrews, it is a bucket list must.  And if you have been there and played the course, The Open this week will bring back a lot of memories.  My best friend and I played there the year of our 50th birthdays and the weather was absolutely stunning.  When we hit our first shots it was pretty humbling to be playing a course with so many Open “moments”.  Luckily we played the New Course the day before so I finally was used to the links-style course and making sure I didn’t fire at the pin (the pin was pretty safe all day, I might add).  I will never forget The Road Hole and certainly crossing the Swilcan Bridge on 18.  My guess is Jordan Speith is on a magical journey right now and this could be his year.  DJ just needs to seal the deal if he is close.  And, I think Justin Rose is playing well enough to win it.  What are your thoughts?
