    Self control and not adding to my bets was the main reason I didn't get on Sterne last week and is the same reason I won't be on Walker either, well that and the fact all the value odds on Walker have gone.

    Yes, pleased with my 40/1 on Ryan Moore, then again I was delighted with my 75/1 on Steve Marino last week after seeing him backed into 50/1, delight soon changed to horror as he got off to an horrendous start and eventually finished one hundred and sodding 50th out of 156!

    I see the bookies and punters have deserted Marino this week and he's out to 150/1, he does have some decent course form for this weeks event, so just in case Marino can quickly forget the horror show last week I have decided I can also forget it and given him an ew second chance and doubled him with Tommy Fleetwood at 25/1.

    That's me done, as long as I don't weaken and take Bell's advice and dip my feet in the first round market.

    Good Luck all!

    It started last week, so you missed out on the easy 500 points that Brandt Snedeker gave to 90% of selections...

    You basically pick 4 players each week and you get their accumulative FedEx cup points. You can't pick 1 player more than 10 times over 1 season though.

    I'm in, though after you wrote that, it took some courage to register my team with it's massive TWO points tally from week 1 :(

    Oops... Who did you go with? I had Dustin, Snedders, Phil and Mr Harrington, Both Dustin and Harrington missed the cut, Phil only scored 11 so Snedders came to my rescue

    I actually had 2 picks the same as you, Dustin and Padraig, then there was my value flop of the week Steve Marino, young Seung-yul Noh provided my 2 points.

    A first glance at the Northern Trust Open leaderboard and I see my value bet of the week Charles Howell III has started bogey bogey and sits in last place of the 27 players out on the course, naturally Charles is one of my 4 fantasy picks this week, sigh!!!

    Make that bogey, bogey, bogey start for Charles Howell III, plum last of 36 on the course, unbelievable!

    On a brighter note for me, Graham DeLaet has managed two birdies in the first 3 holes and is early leader with Jim Furyk. I'll never get over my DeLaet obsession with starts like that!

    It's only Thurs night, but I can safely put a line through this weeks selections. Adding Justin Walters @ 40/1. 2 under with 4 to play, then straight out again on his 2nd round. Clutching at straws to try turn things round.

    Ha ha, looks like we think alike on the fantasy picks! I had Howell as well... I also have Aaron Baddley who had a cracking round of +7!! 

    Adam Scott is going steady and Chris Kirk had a nightmare on 1 hole after deciding to 4 putt from 23ft!!

    Best round of the day for me is Freddie Jac who I have put money on but not put in my fantasy picks... lol (Rather have the money of a 70/1 shot than a back pack TBF) lol

    At least Ryan Moore managed to finish under par but not a good day in the States for my selections, I've had my own clutching at straws bet with an old favourite of mine, Angel Cabrera at 100/1.

    If Cabrera puts in a couple of good results, I'll be backing him at any 3 figure odds available ante post for The Masters.

    You can never have a golf tournament wrapped up half way through day two, but it is already Da Silva's to lose.

    I need a big day from Oliver Bekker.

    Just looking at the in-play markets and I do think 55/1 on John Parry ew 1/5 odds first 4 is worth a punt.

    Yet to start his second round, he may be 9 off the lead, but he's still tied 5th, so 11/1 for 4th pace is well within his grasp.

    Parry won the tour school at the end of the season and is a previous winner on tour so now's how to compete at the sharp end.

    It looks like it's a finished tournament, but it's far from it! It really is surprising how much can change in 2 days in a golf tournament, he could go into Sunday not even leading! Given the fact he is relatively unknown, even though he has had some decent finishes lately and the fact he is 365th in the world, I think this is far from over! I still quietly like the chances of Santos, although Van Zyl still hasn't tee'd off in his 2nd round I think he will be the biggest threat.

    Might be taking back what I wrote. Mr Haas might yet save the day.

    Not a good Saturday for me!

    Santos played himself out of it when a good round could of got him right in the mix, and Freddie has also lost control after he had that double bogey and is now relying on Bill Haas to slip up (Sorry Neil). Lot's more golf to be played though!

    No problem Charles, we all want our bets to come in before anybody elses 1st. I might yet get 1st and 2nd in the PGA fantasy thingy, (Haas and Simpson), but it will be no good as my other 2 both missed the cut.

    AAAGGGGHHHH!!!! How does he not get up and down from where he was with his ability!! :-( Still happy with some return I suppose but could of been £200+ better. Frustrating week with santos just missing a top 5 finish for the e/w double as well. 

    I have an idea who I will go with for the Matchplay, just want to see the odds first.

    Ul Splashies and Charles. Definite yip on that last putt of Jacobsen. Only consolation for me was Haas birdie-ing last to sneak the place. Meant more or less a draw on the w/e for me. Guess it will be the usual 4 picks from the 4 quarters in the Matchplay. Wait for final draw 1st.

    Close call for a few of you there, still a couple of good ew returns for Flash and Joesman.

    I managed to save myself with 16/1 on Fichardt in running on day 2, no profit, just covered my losses, which I supppose isn't bad for 4 days 'entertainment'.

    First thoughts for Matchplay are Schwartzel, if I can get 20/1 or greater I'll be on.
