Re euro tour - haven't looked at it yet but both Molinari's aren't in great form. Might go for havret after two good finishes recently. i'll prob post my picks after lunch.
Think I'm going for Mahan and day in the tour champ.
Edit: Just noticed Damien McGrane has had a t3 and t6 in last 3 starts but is also T10 for scrambling on tour which might be a useful stat if, as you say, the rough is severe. Best bit about him.....he's 50/1!!
Bets placed:
Tour Champ
H Mahan 16/1
J Day 20/1
Open D'italia
G Havret 25/1
D McGrane 50/1
£5 free placed on the ew doubles.
snedeker 20/1 e/w £2.50 cash
Don't normally back woods as there's no value but think it might be his week plus I have a free £5 bet with another site which can only be used on win only bets so
woods 5/1 win £5 free bet.
be lucky.
Catch up news from me, I've been and gone and am back again.
In my absence...
Nice Primo win Flash!
Well done Jd and Achill for wins on Johnson and Luiten.
I see I missed a rare sighting of Joesman, welcome back Neil.
Welcome back Splashies!!!
Italian Open
Marcus Fraser - 40/1, I bigged Fraser up a couple of weeks ago at 100/1, when he was playing his first tournament for a while, he did OK finishing tied 20th, I've not seen any golf but he followed up with a tied 16th last week to suggest he might be a player coming into form and he has a top 5 at Wentworth.
Alejandro Canizares - 66/1, Lost in a play off at the PGA at Wentworth this year.
James Kingston - 200/1, hardly played on the tour this year, but virtually secured his card next year with a 6th place finish at Wentworth.
Again no major research for me, but I backed....
Hunter Mahan - 18/1, I broke my 'value bet' rule this week, which is don't back anyone below 25/1, I didn't see any of the event last week, but I saw that Mahan had a good tournament, he has course form here and just gives me a strong gut feeling this week., though that could be something I've eaten
Mahan also ew doubled with Marcus Fraser
Roberto Castro - 80/1, Seems to play well in big events and in a field of 30, looks to be good value.
Castro also ew double with Canizares
Now I'm off to get my Graham DeLaet fix, I'd love to see him get his debut win this week and end up Fed-Ex Champion, I'll be taking 40/1 for the tournament and 28/1 for first round leader, ew both markets.
I'm also going to have a quick scan at the in play market for the Italian Open and see if I can come up with someone to double Delaet with.
I work for the Turks and on this last trip I was in Thailand and China.
TheDart - sounds like you get around lol castro and delaet off to solid starts and Kingston certainly not out of it.
so why back woods instead of stenson?
had a £10 win double on stenson and Molinari to make the weekends golf interesting.
be lucky.
Very well done Splashies!!!
Didn't even know this bloke existed let alone back him.
His results for the year are pretty average, what made you pick him if you don't mind me asking.
Alfred Dunhill
Ross Fisher 25/1 - two top 5's in last two starts and some solid scores in this event although not spectacular by any stretch. (£5 free bet on this one)
Alex Noren 50/1 - Been out for a while now with a wrist injury which I think has pushed him out to a good price for someone who would be normally in the 30-40/1 bracket. He nearly played last week but pulled out last minute so hoping it was just a precaution and he's ready to go this week. 3rd in this event in 2012. Only worrying point is according to his twitter account he's in Oklahoma and not in Scotland practising lol
Victor Dubuisson - 50/1
Danny Willett - 50/1
Fredrik Andersson Hed - 80/1
Mikko Ilonen - 80/1
John Parry - 100/1
Rafa Cabrera-Bello - 100/1
Matthew Baldwin - 150/1
Tom Lewis - 175/1
I admit better judges than me would dismiss most if not all of those players, but for me they are good links players priced at very generous odds.
If I just look at current form, maybe I can take a few out.
and then there is Martin Kaymer, a player I have been very keen on in recent months, but ruled him out this week because he is 22/1 favourite.
On reflection a 22/1 winner wouldn't be that bad, but I really don't like backing players near the head of the field in golf events, I just don't believe it's a long term winning strategy.
Gallacher 33/1 £2.50 e/w cash
Dubuisson 45/1 £2.50 e/w free bet
Andersson Hed 80/1 £2.50 e/w free bet
Posting early as i'm off golfing in Spain on Thursday.
Be lucky
