TALESFROMTHELINKS PREDICTIONS FOR 2007
It's the time of year when we like to get out our balls (of the crystal variety) and predict what is in store for the year ahead.

Surely the only thing preventing Tiger doing "the Slam" is the prospect of sleepless nights, shitty nappies and general all round fatherdom.

So let us presume Tiger cannot afford a nanny and won't do all 4 majors...what lies ahead:

Paul Lawrie shoots 83, 81, 79 and 89 at Carnoustie to become the 1st European to win a Major since 1999.

Van der velde is seen standing by the Barry Burn head in hands sobbing "a 6!!...I just needed a 6"!!

Nick Faldo announce on air that Azinger is "a dead man" ...roll on Ryder Cup 08!!!!

Divorce rates in the UK double as Setanta brings us classics such as "The Disney 4 ball Invitational Stableford"!

Tiger Jnr picks up a club (3 months old) and finishes 2 ahead of Gargia, 3 ahead of Clarke.

Ian Poulter realises that it is not big, funny or clever to dress like a twat...win a competition..that'll impress us.

With Tiger winning the Open and USPGA in '06, I can't see past him winning the Masters and giving the US Open a right good go.

However, I think Oakmont is going to give us a bit of a crapshoot (as the Americans might say). If Woods' driver is misfiring then it's game on. Would love to see Ernie take this one.

Onto the Open and I think this might be the year we have some Europeans in contention. Can you imagine having the last two pairings on the Sunday being made up of Casey, Donald, Monty and Clarke?! Immense!

Definitely letting my heart rule my head here, as I often do with big Colin, but I think we'll see Monty triumphantly holding the Claret Jug aloft on Sunday 22nd July.

As to the USPGA, if Tiger has managed the clean sweep of the rest then he's a certainty for this. But, in the spirit I have shown above by discounted Woods for the Open, and as he's got good memories of the place from the 2001 US Open win, Southern Hills might be the place for Goosen to win his third major.
