Negative Noah’s Non-Football Lock of the Week (1-0) Rory McIlory to win The 2011 Masters (20/1) or the Open Championship (20/1)
I plan to keep up my undefeated record by picking events that won’t happen until long after we’ve grown tired of this weekly email. Considering last week’s came three days late, I can’t imagine we’re that far away. Anyway… McIlory is going to win one of these two tournaments. Hedge and bet him to take the No. 1 spot in both. He finished third at last year’s Open despite shooting an 80 in the second round. Inspired stuff from the 21 year old. He turned in a 62 to shatter (shatter!) the course record at the Quail Hollow Championship. He did something important during the Ryder Cup. He will, eventually, win you a lot of money. Patience is a virtue.
