As I'm typing this, Bill Haas is in a play-off with Bradley and Mickelson... Thought i had the win locked up. But no, Bradley and Phil have to go and birdie the 18th...sigh Not confident now. Posted by splashies
Nice win splashies. I switched off when Bill got his par on 18. No Way they were going to birdie 18. Shows how much i know. I put a bet on Haas B4 the final round so made £36.00. Onwards and upwards eh splashies
I believe they do mate. Why its such an advantage to be in the top 64 and qualify for these events. Get in the top 50 and auto entry to all Majors also. Hoping my fave golfer Robert Rock does well this week and makes the top 50. Still so gutted I never backed him t'other week
This is going to be so hard to call this week. My 3 picks are pretty much gut feel and guys that when they're hot, they're really hot.
Webb Simpson, looks to have a good chance in the first couple of rounds. He can possibly meet Tiger in the 1/4 finals, but hopefully someone else will see him off.
Bubba Watson had a good run last year and reached the semis. His draw also doesnt look too bad either.
Finally, Charl Schwartzel who does have a tricky side of the draw but will hopefully go deep.
I'll prob have a few cheeky accas come wednesday too.

Cheers m8
Hoping McIlroy and Bradley have a good run in this for the overall money list bets. McIlroy currently 6th (and lets face it the 5 above him won't be there for long) and Bradley is 8th.
Haven't checked the odds yet, so I'll post up later, but Bradley has shown good temperament during play-offs and that is a good sign for matchplay.

Sorry cant have that. His pre shot chinanegans for someone his age is exasperating. His twitching/ doing the 'birdie dance' routine is only gonna get worse, and will end up like sergio was, unable to address the ball and his game will fall apart. Also his constant spitting is revolting..
lol i'd never noticed his spitting until Sunday night, hes worse than me on a Sunday morning! (i'll add im not doing it on a golf course, but down the sink/loo!!) you have a point with that side, we were talking about it as much as the golf itself. i do however think he will only go onwards and upwards, honestly.
i hope he continues with the 'ridiculous' pre shot shennanigans. concentration (or rather lack of) cost him dear in the bridgestone and nearly came back to haunt him the week later also. i see it as a way to improving his focus and nerve.
as per your sergio comment, heres hoping a wonderful 64 on sunday and some fine putting for a change to boot can lead into the accenture this week, though i have my doubts. if only that boy could get his short game together eh....?
Well my pin landed on Dustin Johnson took Stan James enhanced win only 35/1 and backed him at 7/1 to win his bracket. Just think he is in weakest quarter. Same bet with Stricker 45/1 and 9/1. And MclRoy enhanced 14/1 though win only with him. Good luck everyone with your picks.

Lol thanks for the discreet spell check. Knew it looked wrong
Copied this from the PGA official site... Maybe my bet on Quiros wasn't a good idea...
12
11:15 a.m.
7. Alvaro Quiros
vs
10. Martin Laird
Snead
Match Play records: Quiros 0-3, Laird 0-1 Quiros, the big-hitting Spaniard, has yet to get out of the first round in three tries. Two years ago, he was blown out by Mike Weir 8 and 6. Laird lost to Edoardo Molinari in the first round in his only start. In other words, one of these two will finally see what it's like to play Dove Mountain on Thursday.

Just a £ 1.00 E/w on the following Dustin Johnson 30/1 Martin Kaymer 20/1 Charl Schwartzel 35/1 Bill Haas 40/1 Brandt Snedeker 66/1 Sounds good about a Masters competition Posted by ALFIE123
Only Bill Has lost. 3 up with 5 to play and shud have have closed it out but Ishikowa put the pressure on with a few late birdies.
Putting on a small acca with what i think will all be close matches but are good prices
RYO ISHIKAWA v Paul Lawrie 11/10
ROB KARLSSON V Lee Westwood 6/4 might be a birdie blitz

Pin was lucky 1st day, especially the 1 that landed on Johnson, lucky win. That said draw opened up for him now, Molinari 1st, then winner of Rock match next if he survives.
Well fair play to anyone who managed to win their accy yesterday. So many suprises it was unreal! I think Keegan Bradley is a great shout to win this now. Good performance in the 1st round and I imagine with all his "Shinnanigans" he is a tough player to play against...
Here is my Accy for today (Mainly low prices) it comes to around 9/1.

He has given me the go ahead and kindly donated a few prizes.
I'll announce all the details in GPC and here a week or two before the Masters, so watch this space.
