After backing Luke Donald at 7/1 2 weeks ago and then Webb Simpson last week(no justice sometimes)kind feel                                                                                                                                                                 like giving up,but as I will be watching it will probably have a bet on Rory McIlroy(although not a big fan,the way he                                                                                                                                                               finished last year,wow)around 14/1 and Tommy Gainey at around 70s.Improving player and imo a much better bet                                                                                                                                                             then the likes of furyk,garcia,etc and double the price of some of them and with room for improvement.

    PGA Tour: Wells Fargo Championship

     

    Padraig Harrington @ 50/1. Finished T7th here last year. Looks to be getting his game back on track with finishes of T8th and T10th before the missed cut at the Masters. This is a great price.

     

    Mark Wilson @ 80/1. Also T7th here last year. Having a fantastic season with two wins and several top 20’s from 11 events. Another great price.

     

    European Tour: Open de Espana

     

    Nicolas Colsaerts @ 33/1. I’m going for my man who won two weeks ago. His game is in excellent shape. He is super long off the tee and a very confident putter.

     

    James Morrison @ 80/1. Lost in a play-off in this event last year to Quiros. Four solid rounds last week saw him finish T7th. Should go well this week.

     

    Good luck with your bets!

    Yeh last year McIlroy was amazing in the final round, I had a bet on him at 33/1. I think he will do really well again this year too.

    Tommy "two gloves" Gainey is certainly exciting to watch, his golf swing resembles more of a baseball swing. Played very well recently!

    Good luck.

    Do you watch the American tour on sky splashies?If so what do you think about the silly rule that cost Simpson the tourny last week?I know im kinda talking through my pocket but I think it ruins the sport all of the pathetic little rules like the 1 that cost Dustin Johnson last year.I mean its not as if there was any advantage gained.Also had you heard of Gainey before the last few weeks cos tbh I hadnt,but hes been playing really well.

    I was out all weekend so didn't see what happened to Simpson?

    I've only seen Gainey this season, i think it's his first full season on the tour. I must admit he's great to watch!

    Thanks for the reply.Simpson grounded his putter when 2 feet away and the ball moved 1/2 an inch and he got a shot penalty which ultimately cost him the tourny but hey-ho thats life,gl with yours this week i have also put a fiver each way on Hunter Mahan at 25/1 cos I think hes due to come back in form.

    Ah i see, yeh it's a silly rule. Think it happened to Harrington in one of the majors last year too, he wasn't in contention so didn't matter as much.

    I like the look of Mahan this week too! If my bets slump i might have an In-Play bet on him.

    Open de Espana

    Gary Boyd - 125/1 - Has done well in Spain previously and signs of some form in China.

    Carlos Del Moral - 100/1 -     Good memories from Barcelona and some steady displays already in 2011.

    George Coetzee - 80/1 -     Very much going the right way and well up to a big showing here.

    Victor Dubuisson - 100/1 -     Huge talent from France and could continue the hot streak of younger players.


    Wells Fargo Championship

    Hunter Mahan - 30/1 - Plays this course well and due a win in 2011 after some fine play. Likes big events.

    Dustin Johnson - 25/1  -     Fourth with a round to go last year and strong showing (4th) in Korea last week.

    Bo Van Pelt - 66/1 -     Fifth and sixth here, course fits his eye and recent top 10 at The Masters.

    Angel Cabrera - 80/1 -     Played some super stuff at Augusta and third here last year. Underrated.
