The world\u2019s best step foot on hallowed ground. Some for the first time, some for the 23rd time \u2014 like Tiger Woods. Every round feels new at this magical location Plus, with The Open being the final major on the calendar, what a glorious feat it would be to win HERE of all places?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite massive fault lines between the PGA Tour vs. LIV Tour drama rolling into the summer (and for the foreseeable future), seemingly nothing can overshadow the history and tradition behind St. Andrews. And for what it&#8217;s worth, the LIV Tour elites who had previously qualified ARE in this week\u2019s field. But we do not know if this is the last time The Open allows them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-coming-home\">IT\u2019S COMING HOME<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not JUST the treat of The Open Championship week \u2013 it\u2019s The Open at St. Andrews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is already a historic track produces a world-class, diverse field of golfers. I\u2019m sure Euro Ryder Cuppers like Rory, Jon Rahm, or maybe U.S. Open victor Matt Fitzpatrick would love another shot at a Claret Jug at The Home of Golf. They\u2019re complimented by Americans hopping the pond like world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the red-hot Xander Schauffele, and basically every other top name you can imagine from the PGA Tour or DP World Tour. Notable LIV Tour golfers Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, and Phil Mickelson will all be on-hand to throw a \u201cblack cloud\u201d over The Open and steal another major victory. Oh, and a guy named Tiger is back after skipping the U.S. Open to rest up. He wouldn\u2019t be missing this one. No lack of storylines this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE OLD COURSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s there to say? The 7300ish-yard track is virtually unchanged in its history. And, it has stood the test of time. Its best defense is a lovely lady named Mother Nature that can whip unimaginable winds and rains at a moment\u2019s notice. It can also be a docile and tame day of sunshine where birdies fly. You truly never know, and that\u2019s the madness and magic of Links Golf. The main factors for scoring are the weather you get and how you stay out of trouble. Deep dark pot bunkers loom at every corner, most notable the \u201cRoad Hole\u201d 17th. While there\u2019s room in the fairways off the tee, every last trundle, bounce and roll needs to be watched to see what lies ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PICKING THE OPEN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you are laying out your roster for the final major this year, keep in mind that links golf is VERY often an acquired taste, where the best performers this week will have several round under their belt in elements like this. For ball flight I favor a lower, stingier ball striker (Morikawa, Molinari), and look for players who have variety in short game and scrambling tactics, as no two shots are the same around the green at St. Andrews. Shane Lowry and Jordan are a couple more recent Open champions that come to mind with creativity around the greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAKING YOUR PICKS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m prefacing my weekly picks based on exactly what I value the most. With every play I make, I\u2019m always taking into account these factors and for The Open, it\u2019s links experience and creativity that reign supreme \u2013 a week for the intangibles to shine in a major championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Who\u2019s hot and trending<\/strong>? \u2013&nbsp;recent high finishes, top 10 streaks and consistent play are never a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Horses for courses. <\/strong>\u2013&nbsp;Players love certain courses and course familiarity and experience are invaluable in a field of the world\u2019s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What the numbers tell you this week<\/strong>. \u2013&nbsp;While I\u2019m far from analytical, there\u2019s always a tournament darling or two scattered across the golf talk stratosphere that stuns on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Intangibles<\/strong>. \u2013&nbsp;While this allows for theater of the mind, there\u2019s a mysterious optimism surrounding that feels \u201cdue\u201d or if the price looks just right for buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week at the The Scottish Open, my picks were <em><strong>undoubtedly<\/strong><\/em> my worst of the year. Four out of six missed the cut, and even Alex Noren and Ryan Fox couldn\u2019t prop me up and stay in the hunt. There\u2019s no way to talk around a failure: last week\u2019s pick were a D- and only Alex Noren\u2019s half decent weekend prevents from being an F. Back to the drawing board!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE SIXPACK OF PICKS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Wanna start a Pick-X pool with your friends?

The open format lends to his creativity and it feels right this week for Rory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tier 2: <\/strong>Will Zalatoris \u2013 As part of my oath to bet on Willy Z untilhe eventually wins, you can\u2019t ignore his form. After a 69 and an injury withdrawal at last year\u2019s Open, experience could come into play but he\u2019s playing too well to not be in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tier 3:<\/strong> Shane Lowry \u2013 The 2019 Open champion has a top 10 recently at the Irish Open, and his flighted irons and variety around the greens make a good match for St. Andrews. Just barely missed the cut in his 2015 start at the Old Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tier 4: <\/strong>Bryson DeChambeau \u2013 This one evens surprises me, but I get the sense that this course works well for his bomb and gouge game. As long as he avoids the heather and knows when to lay off of driver, this could be a good week for the bomber at a track with reachable par 4\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tier 5: <\/strong>K.H. Lee \u2013 The two time PGA Tour winner has quietly climbed into the top 50 in the world, and if there\u2019s a newcomer that could surprise he would be my pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tier 6: <\/strong>Kurt Kitayama \u2013 An American that has several years of DP World Tour and links golf experience under his belt, plus an impressively gutsy 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place finish last week at the Scottish Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My RYP&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.articles.runyourpool.com\/PGA-One-and-Done.cfm\">One-and-Done Pick<\/a>: Will Zalatoris<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE DEETS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong>&nbsp;USA Network and NBC all weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why to watch:&nbsp;<\/strong>The season\u2019s final major being played at the most historic course in the history of the game?
