Alright, sports lovers, let's discreetly tiptoe into the prickly world of golf prognostication. On the dock, we have the Open Championship happening at good ol' Royal Portrush Golf Club.

Top brass of the PGA tour? Sure, let’s start with Scottie Scheffler; the guy's ranking numero uno at present, landed a modest 8th place at the Genesis Scottish Open recently. And who can forget Rory McIlroy, second on the tour ladder and neck-and-neck runner-up in the said Scottish Open. Then there's Xander Schauffele, our third in command who, much like Scheffler, rang the 8th bell at the very same Open.

Now, if we took a wee journey back in time to last year's Open Championship at Royal Portrush, it was Schauffele who comfortably ensconced himself on the winner's throne, strolling under par by 9 strokes. Smiling Billy Horschel ran in second with 7 under par, glued alongside him on the same score was Justin Rose - how entertaining.

Considering the recent performance and past data, my magic waters have given me a sigh-inducing glimpse into the future...

Albert's Prediction: Xander Schauffele by 2 strokes. You can place your wagers now, or forever hold your nerves!
