There have been so many "W" golfers on top of leaderboards around the world this week that I decided a cryptopuzzle of "W" golfers is in order.

Anagram Set 14 Answers

Carnoustie, St. Andrews, Troon, Muirfield, Prestwick, Musselburgh, Turnberry, Portrush, Lytham, Birkdale
Bonus: Ian Poulter

Anagram Set 14 - British Open

Today's anagram set features 10 Open Championship sites. Unscramble the letters marked by parentheses() to reveal my pick for the 2006 Open Champion. I can't really explain the pick because it's neither a sentimental favourite* nor a statistical favourite. I just asked myself, "Who might win this week?" and this is the first name that popped into my head.
