The third major of the year gets under on Thursday at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. The Open Championship provided for some spectacular entertainment last year when Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson ran away from the field and battled it out on the final day of the tournament and this year there is no reason to expect anything different. With the top names in the sport playing some of their best golf this season, we’re sure to see some entertaining golf.
With NBC holding the rights to the broadcast you’ll get to watch almost every second of the tournament on either Golf Channel or NBC, which most golf fans can agree is quite nice.

My Picks
The safe play is to pick one of the big dogs with Spieth, Fowler, McIlroy or Johnson, but I think a European like Paul Casey has a good shot at picking up his first major championship this week.
