It's finally here, the 2019 Open from Royal Port Rush. We have some good analysis, tips and a cracking offer from PaddyPower below. It's sure to be a cracking week and it will be interesting to see who is in contention on the back 9 on Sunday!

I have liked Matt Kuchar this year and some good odds again this week. (PaddyPower are paying 10 places)

Another is Patrick Cantlay at 22/1 however I think some of the local lads will perform well on this tough test of links and that is reflected with course record holder Rory Mcilroy as 8/1 favourite.

Another player in great form who I'll be keeping my eye on is John Rahm 14/1
