It’s coming home withTommy Fleetwood in the The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, but sky bet offer of 7-2 for any English winner is great with Matt Fitzpatrick in form and brother Alex likely to go well along with Hatton and Rose in the mix. Double that bet with England to win the world cup at 16 to 1 if they get past Argentina.
Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland and Sheffler are the most likely party spoilers along with Mcilroy
But we also have Birkdale member Matthew Baldwin and
Joe Dean, the Sheffield golfer who used to deliver for Morrisons and could deliver a great eway bet; so come on England.

Howley Hall and the scorching sun took its toll with Olly Stirgess winning the day with 34 points and moves into contention after 7 events of the 2026 tour. Top 5 are:
1-Michael Kassim-----204
2-Steve Eyre-----------200
3-Shaun Marsden-----200
4-Andy Hudson-------180
5-Dave Fletcher------169.
Next up is Messingham Lakes on August 2. Established over the last 30 years, Messingham Lakes has, they say, evolved into a mature parkland course set into 148 acres of Northern Lincolnshire Countryside with extensive water hazards, over 60 bunkers and expertly manicured greens.

Congratulations Shaun Marsden who scored his 4th Tour victory at the stunning Rushcliffe GC and joins Steve Eyre on top of the Order of Merit leaderboard at the halfway point of the 2026 season. Next event on july 12 is the ever popular Howley Hall.

Have to back Tommy Fleetwood on a links style course. Rory and Sam burns look good but as usual anything can happen
