Not going too far out on a limb on a golf course (Royal St. George's) that really does not favor anyone:


1. Rory McIlroy - Hard to pick against the best player in the world right now. Yes, I said the best.

2. Jason Day - Runner-up in the last two majors. Won't be the least bit surprised to see Day and McIlroy in the final group on Sunday.

3. Lee Westwood - Missed the cut the last time the Open was played at Royal St. George's, but does have four top-10 finishes in the event, including a second and third the last two years, respectively.
