Coral’s five fantastic special bets to take for Open Championship

The 2015 Open Championship is almost upon us so, to celebrate perhaps golf’s most prestigious event, Coral provide punters with five fantastic special bets to take.

Ian Poulter is top GB and Ireland player – 16/1

Playing in your home Major tends to inspire a number of golfers, and no one seems to play with more passion on the course than England’s Poulter, who certainly plays with his heart on his sleeve.

The 39-year-old may have missed the cut in last year’s Open, but finished third and ninth the two tournament’s before, and once came second. Poulter is fifth-equal favourite in this market, but is a brilliant bet to take.

Winning margin is four shots or more – 3/1

While the last three Open Championships have been won by three shots or less, the previous three and four of the past five have been by five or more. Therefore, take this amazing price now.

USA’s Jordan Spieth looks in devastating form of late and, without injured defending champion Rory McIlroy to challenge him, he can certainly leave the rest of the field way behind him. He won the Masters this year by four shots.

Rickie Fowler is top American – 15/2
