Phil would be a good Open Champion

He has as good a chance as anyone. But I think he would have to be patient, keep his driver in the bag most holes, and play conservative. These are things he's had trouble with in the past, but are also what makes him so popular with the gallery - his willingness "to go for it" on almost every shot. His caddy should keep telling him every hole "PAR IS GOOD."

I think Els and Vijay have a great shot, but wouldn't be surprised at an upset by someone who who can hit the ball low and straight, not necessarily long - a Justin Leonard, and yes Corey Pavin type golfer.
