Good luck mate, I have Kuchar, Fowler and Rose in the running so lets hope its a good night, especially for FOWLER
Also great two picks from Flash with Kuchar and Jiminez.
I also managed to get on Matt Kuchar on Friday at 25/1.
Of my original picks, I'm left with Lee Westwood, it would be great to see him get that first major tonight, it's all set up for a great nights golf.
Hope he doesn't finish 2nd behind Couples, that'd be sickkk
JD, just remembered your pm when reading this post. I saw it at 2am the other night and said to myself I'd do it in the morning. Then forgot. Getting on it now.
Special well done to Flash
For me....
Bubba Watson - Naaaahhh, too many doubts about the his inconsistency and frailty of mind.
Jordan Spieth - Naaaaahhhhh, very good player, but too young with no major experience and more importantly no experience of Augusta.
Jonas Blixt - Naaaaahhhhh, never played the Masters before and done nothing all year.
Miguel Angel Jiminez - Naaaaaahhhhh, never really contended here when he was a his peak, too old to compete in a Major now and anyway he always misses the cut when I back him.
Rickie Fowler - Naaaaahhhhhh, on his way back from a swing change, not been putting great, The Masters is too soon for Rickie, I backed him a couple of weeks ago and he was rubbish.
Time for a break I think, especially when Dohhhhhhhh comes on here and makes a profit!
Well done Splashies, Flash, Father and GEO68
Well I took a break from the golf yesterday morning and now I'm back in search of my mojo:
Malaysian Open
Gregory Bourdy 50/1 - Bang in form, got good course history here, so I jumped on early doors and got 50/1 that seemed ridiculous value. He is now best priced 40/1.
(Ok I copy / pasted Flash's description, but I backed Bourdy yesterday)
Danny Willett 33/1 - In an out of form and has been struggling with a dodgy back. But well rested and very good course form.
Anibarn Lahri 70/1 - One of the top players on the Asian tour, got amongst the big names and finished top 5 in The Thailand Open last December and was part of the Asian team that played so well against Europe in Malaysia last month. His confidence is high and so his price.
RBC Heritage
Billy Horschel 70/1 - Went big on him a few weeks ago and then watched as virtually every golfing tipster picked him in one event or another. Each time Billy failed miserably. I gave up on him after 3 attempts.
However, I thought on the quiet he handled Augusta National very well, whilst his key stats remain very high and on a course that should play to his strengths, I'm tempted once more to back Billy Horschel at a more than generous price.
Chris Stroud 50/1 - He didn't play in The Masters so no battle scars there, he's had a very good season and looks to be trending (new phrase I've picked up on) in the right direction. Also 6th here last year, feels like the weeks dark horse most likely to succeed.
Russell Knox 90/1 - Another having a very good season, he's doing all the key things like hitting fairways and greens more often than most, he can also get the putter hot and put in the odd record low round. Not played here before but his game should be very well suited.
Congrats!
I don't know when/where the next major is but Lee Westwood is going to win it !!!!!!
Be bak on thread then
Just deliberating if I should tell my wife that 'we' haven't really been losing on the golf, I had in fact been squirrelling our money away in a Sky savings plan to treat her to an ipad.
I'm with you on Lee Westwood.
The next major is The US OPEN, starts June 12th, Westwood is currently a best priced 50/1.
He's a local 20 year old amateur who has tremendous potential.
His cv includes such snippets as:
At aged 13 became the youngest player to play in an Asian Tour Event
Played college golf with the likes of Jordan Speith and recently said he doesn't think there is a big difference in ability between himself, Jordan Speith and others of their generation, though recognized for the time being Jordan Speith was far superior in mental ability / maturity.
Recently won a prestigious college event in USA.
Finished 22nd in this event last year.
Says that he and his dad have done a lot of work on course analysis ahead of this years event.
The following bets are available and I like the look of the top 20 and 3 ball prices and maybe the FRL.
3 Ball is with Siem and Quiros
Siem has been very inconsistent this year, I like Quiros and he is rightly favorite in this 3 Ball, but Quiros is not always the most consistent himself.
Local big hitter Gavin Green at 14/5 looks OK to me
Top 20 = 8/1
Top 10 = 22/1
Outright = 250/1
FRL - 150/1
