A Tale Of The Underdogs And The Under-Achievers At The British Open!


The concept of an underdog has become a social cliché nowadays, and for a term that was coined on sports field to console the eventual losers, now it has widespread implications in almost all walks of life.
Whenever this word is used to describe any individual, viewers know that odds are that he or she is going to lose the match, but there is the unforeseen element of joy for everyone to savor when an underdog wins the event. 

                                       
One case was Rory McIlroy at the US Open at the Congressional Golf Club; there have been countless cases, such as a young Tiger Woods winning the British Open.
Hence, it is now time for another unheralded prospect to shine at the St. George’s Club, and it is ok to include Rory McIlroy in the underdog section, because there are players like Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, and Sergio Garcia, in the favored section.
But the 22-yearold Northern Irishman also happens to be the red hot prospect at the 140th edition of the prestigious Open Championship, which would make its way into your homes through the Open Championship live stream.
So perhaps, we need to find a more suitable underdog, a golfer like Ben Curtis, who won the Major in 2003. Yeah, the proverbial dark horse, and this year, it could be the American golfer, Rickie Fowler!
And how about the 71 ranked Camilo Villegas; he seems a talented player.
Redemption for thrill seekers, who dare to access the British Open live stream, may lie in the hands of the unproven, and we might be in for some shocks and surprises this time. 

                                              
Now, about the underachievers! Well, the names of Luke Donald and Lee Westwood come at the top, while Phil Mickelson qualifies on the back, with his consistently poor showings at the British Open.
These are a few players that everyone would like to see posing with the Claret Jug, and the idea of them winning here, is probably what gets people to watch British Open online!
