SKY BET'S BIRKDALE SPECIALS

Sergo Garcia - his putter has elevated him to favourite

With just ten days to go before the British Open gets underway at Royal Birkdale, Sky Bet have produced a variety of special markets for this year's tournament.

Déjà vu?

Yes it's 100/1 for Sergio Garcia and Pádraig Harrington to once again contest a play-off in a repeat of last year's dramatic showdown.

11/4 is being quoted for the title to be decided by a play-off again and 1/4 that there is no play-off. Last year's runner up, Sergio Garcia, is Sky Bet's 9/1 favourite to go one better this year but 10/1 is also quoted for him to come second again.

Harrington, who has not won since the Open, is down to 16/1 with Lee Westwood, Ernie Els coming in between the pair and Garcia at 14/1

In 1998 at Royal Birkdale, when he was a 17 year-old amateur, Justin Rose holed out from 80 yards on the final hole of his debut British Open.

It's 33/1 for him to hole out from off the green on 72nd hole again this year and 25/1 for him to come fourth again.

After their respective wins at the weekend, Ross Fisher has been cut from 125/1 to 50/1 to take the Open title and Anthony Kim has been trimmed from 80/1 to 50/1.
