Technically you're correct, but in the US it's commonly known as the British open.
Found this on the web somewhere:
"The US Open, a fantastic challenging tournament, is NOT the Open Championship. The British Open, the tournament steeped in the deepest of all traditions is the only championship that be correctly cited as "The Open Championship."

i'd be a little leary of ogilvy right now . how much golf has he played in the last month ?
i love thomas bjorn at - 246 to make the cut ..
Well Im a PGA pro, I used to work in the golf business, now I work for an online sportsbook.
My game is a bit shabby right now but I still manage to get it around at 76 or so and I play like once or twice a month and dont practice.
I love Thomas Bjorn myself at -246 to make the cut, he does well at the majors normally plus he is coming of a so so week.
Ogilvy has not played any tournaments since the open so i think his game is not going to be up to standards

Ogilvy is long of the tee, and no not high hitting is going to be helpfull, greens are too firm already. THey are going to have to play links golf. So you are saying that Ogilvy will do well but hes a long hitter. Hits it a mile. I think the ones that will do well are the ones putting well and have strong short game. From what I have seen the course is firm and its hard for players to get the ball close to the hole

You typically seem like a smart guy, so I am surprised being a European you don't know more about links golf. High ball flight is a TERRIBLE thing and you are saying that is what you need? Why the hell to you think Mickelson sucks so bad over there? Very shocking, coming from you.
