    If Sergio misses this 20ft'er on his 18th, I think he should spend an hour or two on the putting green and iron out his 'problems'.... Unbelievable Jeff!!!

    Edit:-.... Was never in doubt... Just WOW

    Don't know how much you all follow the golf news, but have you seen Dustin Johnon has been suspended for 6 months due to failing a drugs test because of coke? Apparently it's the 3rd tme he has failed, as he has failed for weed before.

    I've been looking out for any gossip, but missed this news... Though tbh, I'd guessed it was drug related.... Bet is prospective father in law wil be doing his damnedest to get the wedding called off.

    I heard about it the other day but all was said at the time was that he was taking some time off for personal reasons. I thought it a bit strange with all the money he makes and didn,t seem in bad form.

    Spotted this offer from Coral for this week

    Simply place a pre-tournament £/€10+ Win Single bet on the US PGA Championship Outright market and we’ll give you a free £/€10 bet to use in-play.*

    I've just gone with the one bet this week. Bit of an outsider ..

    Thomas Bjorn - 125/1 - Had a great season so far, 15th last week with a similar field and is one of few players that was around in 2000 when the tournament was last held here, he finished 3rd that year. Obviously the Ryder cup was here in 2008 and he wasn't a part of the European team then but I think there is enough here to think 125/1 is a little too generous.

    I'm on holiday in the States at the moment so met up with my mate Graham Delaet for a couple of brewskis (that's what Graham calls beer), he's been suffering with a real bad bout of flu, but he knows I like a bet on the golf and made time to give me the inside information on who's playing well and who could be in for a big week, here's what I learnt:

    Rory is the man to beat and may not be beaten this week, guys like Fower, Scott, Rose, Sergio and mickle son should have a good week. Further down the field these players have grabbed Graham's attention on the course and on the range:

    Charl Schwartzel -40/1, playing very well and is really pleased with the way he's striking the ball at the moment, he's been suffering with the odd gremlin on the putting greens, but he's been working hard on sorting this out, if his putter and mind stay as one this week, he could add his second major.

    Graeme McDowell - 40/1, besides his obvious talent, GMac has a mental game that is envied by most players on tour. Most players knew last week that GMac wasn't looking forward to playing Firestone as it's a course he's not comfortable on, so the fact that he finished in a tie for 8th allied with the consistent top quality results he has been stringing together over the last month or so, would suggest Rory won't be the only Irishman that fancies his chances this week.

    Hunter Mahan - 80/1, at the beginning of the season Graham reckoned Hunter was looking ready to breakthrough and win his first major, for one reason or another Hunter has had a relatively quiet season, however it was noticeable last week that Hunter was starting to look in good shape, he matched Rory at the top of the GIR stats for the week and started to make plenty of putts. Conditions should suit this week and Hunter could be running into form at just the right time.

    Patrick Reed - 80/1, apparently behind some of the arrogant statements he comes out with, Patrick Reed is a top guy and really could be as good as he sometimes says he is. He has found whatever it was that went missing from his game over the last few month, so with his game back in tact and confidence back to the max, Patrick Reed should be a serious contender this week.

    JB Holmes - 100/1, local player who will have plenty of support. He played in the Ryder Cup here and was undefeated.
    He's another who looks to be coming into form, he's known for his length off the tee, but last week he was also one of the best on the greens. Ticks a lot of the right boxes this week.

    Those picks obviously have a PGA Tour biased to them as that's Graham's tour, as for his own chances, we'll he' still not completely free of the flu, but he joked that the hot humid conditions in Kentucky should sweat the last of it out of him befor Thursday.

    That's what I've learnt over here in the States, I don't need to prove myself to anyone on here, but if anyone doubts me, Splashiest will vouch for me.

    Good luck All

    Right I'm off to take a precautionary Lemsip.

    This week I have: -

    Sergio 18/1 £2.50 EW
    Hes gotta win one playing so well at the minute

    Also Hunter Mahan 80/1 only 50p EW


    I am a Rory man as I have backed hims loads in the past. But at 9/2 no value in a field that size.

    Might do him if he has a bad first day.

    PS Does anyone bet on a hole in one. 5/6 for one

    If anyone interested read a book called the hole in one gang

    Couldn't respond to your original message as it was that full of bull manure, there wasn't enough room to....

    Anyways, thought I'd double check with my American cousin, Steve Striker, and he face timed DeLeat.... He's never heard of the poorer half of a 80's/90 pop group act.... Rumour is that u aren't on holiday in the USA, but infact uve just turned up in Emmerdale with the same geeky permed top....

    That's a bit harsh, though probably justified on one or two fronts :)

    We'll see where the manure is lying, come Sunday.

    For the reasons you've highlighted and also just read an interview where he says the course really suits his eye (always like it when a golfer says that), Thomas Bjorn looks a good shout, especially at 125/1.

    Though I might go for the 80/1 without Rory, Scott, Rose and Sergio.

    GMac to beat Schwartzel

    Fowler to beat Bradley

    Bjorn to beat F Molinari & Karlsson

    England to beat India (should've checked the forecast first :(  )

    I'm back from exile. Concentrating on poker, life and work has meant golf has been on the back burner for a few weeks but had to dabble for a major. 

    Very little research and a dominant mcilroy makes it a tricky market. Ive went with:

    Without favourites

    Furyk 25/1
    Schwartzel 25/1

    Frl

    Furyk 40/1
    Leishman 50/1
    Oosthuizen 80/1

    Just seen flash is on my man bjorn so i cant be out bjorned so added him in both the without favourite (80/1) and frl (100/1).

    Gl all

    This week I'm on Mickelson 33/1 Kuchar 35/1 and Snedeker 66/1 and 60/1 all ew with Rory... And 25/1 28/1 and 45/1 win only without Rory....
