Prediction
Tiger Woods will capture the 2012 British Open, and he's off to a good start this year. His first round performance on Thursday earned him a score of 3-under par, which is the same first round score he had in 2006, which was the last time he won the tournament. If he keeps improving and makes adjustments, Woods will win another major.
