This week’s golf at Turnberry will be top drawer, with the great and good converging to play in The Open Championship 2009, which runs from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th July 2009. Here, I’ll provide you with some pointers where you should be able to watch with interest and make a little on the tournament with my Open 2009 Tips.

For this year’s Open Championship, I’m going to give you three golfers who have the class to win this tournament who are available at prices over 25-1 generally. They all represent solid each way chances, and should be backed each-way for level stakes: should one of the three make the paying places, you’ll make a small profit. Should two of them make those places, or one of them win, you should see a healthy return on investment.

Those three players are:

• Padraig Harrington – 40/1 Ladbrokes & Sportingbet
• Retief Goosen – 50/1 Ladbrokes
• Ernie Els – 50/1 Paddy Power* Ladbrokes

Other notable players:

We also think those who follow the Brits might want to have a look at Nick Faldo’s price (1500-1+) to roll back the years, and also Ian Poulter at around 33-1 will be of interest to many. Boylesports are offering 8 places each-way providing you get your bets placed before midnight tonight (Wednesday 15th July) and also Paddy Power are offering 7 places each-way – both are recommended to increase the probability of success of our three tips.

Here’s to a great week of golf!
