NextImg:Post expert makes Open championship picks

The Post’s Mark Cannizzaro makes his picks for this week’s Open championship at Royal Troon in Scotland:

Yes, he had a disappointing finish in last week’s Scottish Open after a great start, but he’s in great form, is fearless and supremely talented.

He closes the deal this week unlike last.

This is a youngster who played in a Ryder Cup before he played in his first major — the first to ever do that.

He’s that good.

Still seeking his first career PGA Tour win after 69 starts, but you could make the argument that he should have won the 2022 Open at St. Andrews, where he finished runner-up.

He finished tied for eighth last year at Hoylake.

He’s in contention every week it seems.

He’s 10 years due to win a major.

And he seems to have gotten over the devastation of his U.S. Open loss.

Sure, he’s turning 44 this week. But Scott has been playing well, as evidenced by his runner-up finish last week at the Scottish Open.

That result has surely boosted his confidence entering this week.

The pride of Scotland who won his national open last week could very well be in contention this week at Troon … depending on how quickly all the whiskey he drank in celebration of last week wears off.
