For some of the major tournaments throughout the year in golf, we choose certain criteria one must match in order to make picks. Following the criteria for that event, each person chooses 5 guys they think will do well. We play for pride in knowing we know golf the best.
For the British Open (starting tomorrow), we are using the following criteria: 1 non-major winner, 1 major winner, 1 UK/British player, 1 Non-European/Non-American, and 1 player ranked outside the top 50 (OWGR). To learn more about the Open itself, view the previous blog for Andrew's British Open Preview.
Below are our picks for the Pick 5 Challenge. Please submit your picks in the comment section. Try and get them done by tomorrow morning (coverage starts at 5 AM EST).
