Looks like he tees off at 3:43 there on Thursday. Very cool that he has a chance to play The Open with his win.

Semi-related, did anyone happen to catch the American Century Celebrity golf championship & see who had the 4th best final round score & managed to finish in the top 15, all while looking very, very good doing so? www.scoring.r2it.com/golf/acc/Leaderboard.aspx

For a second I thought that's who he was initially referring to.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Xander's chances of showing well this week, but there's little doubt that Royal Birkdale does not suit him as well as Erin Hills and Old White. He will need his red hot driver and zen-like patience to carry him this week.
The weather report (plenty of wind and rain) does not bode well for a kid from SoCal without much experience in adverse conditions. Plus, the Open always places a premium on having tremendous feel on approach shots and around the greens, and I think Xander is really only middle of the pack in those areas.
I think a top 25 finish this week would be a great result for him. If you want to aim for the moon though, his betting odds are shockingly low for someone who won their last time out: 200-1.
