I've had a small wager on Monty.

I've had a flyer on A.Cabrera and Stenson

It's about time Seve won this again.  ::)

Paul Casey looks a good each way bet.
He's playing well at the moment.
Would like to tip Monty, but he just doesn't play well on the links.

 ;iagree; But I would like to tip him into a cesspit

Drummond
Katayama
Ferrie
Monty

All each ways with a bit more on a monty win!

Immelman and M.A.Jimenez as the E/W outsiders.

Donald if the sun shines.

But I hope Harrington does it - 25's will have a tickle, and wait and see what happens at Loch Lomand a few bound to drift after a week there.

davis love  at 66/1 looks pretty generous!

Davis Love III is nowhere near as good as he was.
Lost a bit of distance, and his overall game has gone downhill.
Not sure, but i dont think he's done very well on the US Tour this year

After this weekends Western Open i'm not sure whether i'm going to have a bet or not, picked 4 on wednesday:

Immelman @ 50/1
Cink @ 50/1
Petterson @ 80/1
Chopra @225/1

Chopra led the first two days before falling away but Immelman went on to win with both Cink and Petterson both finishing in the places to boot!! :)

Will probably take a gander at the field later today and see if anything stands out...

[attachment deleted by admin]

Going to leave the Open i think til next week - think Immelman again would have an each way shout the form he is in but after yesterday his price has dropped and with his wife being 8 months pregnant there isnt any guarantee he's going to make it over to play.

Will concentrate on the John Deere Classic today during work breaks and pick 4 for Thursday, worry about next weeks tournament next week!!  :D

My predictions and where Ive put my cash

Jim Furyk - Not a player I like but amazing accuracy and control from short distances.

Sergio garcia - great short game if he can just hit some fairways

Paul Casey - greatly improved player - bit of a punt

Im on Pampling, Owen, Appleby,Lonard and Casey. With a few spread bets thrown in to boot.

Paul Casey & Padraig Harrington for me

Retief Goosen & Nicholas Fasth for me.  Fasth is probably the slowest player on the circuit, but I think he will win a major soon... and it could well be this one, 80/1 is solid each way valloooo IMO.

Goosen is a big game player and will be there or there abouts i think.

D Clarke e/w  usually has a good Open and coming into a bit of form

P Casey as well

2 picks for me i fancy luke donald and mike campbell do go very deep in this one 2 good each way bets

Every Swedish player e/w. Apart from Stenson (and Parnevik if he gets to play(first reserve)) they have all shown form lately.

Mike

looking forward to this



course suits strategy and accuracy...so I like Goosen, Donald and Furyk of the top 15 or so


Of the outsiders I like the steady eddies like Allenby, Lonard, Owen

i've had david howell, looks like a low scoring week so look out for the birdie machines.
 I think Mickelson should be favourite this week.
The super consistent plodders will just not get enough birdies imo.

Didnt have a bet in the end on the Open - fancied Harrington e/w but there wasnt much value about. Did manage to get a bit of each way value on Perez (80/1) and Hayes (40/1) for the BC open so will be watching that on tourcast instead :)

tourcast is a good site.  Are you a member or just a visitor?    I sometimes have a look through it, but am not registered

I'm a member.

For someone who like a flutter on the US PGATour every week it's invaluable. Sky's TV coverage (which is just a link to the American broadcast) is good but they tend just to feature a set amount of players. More often than not i have scouted round for a bit of extra value which may mean i've backed someone who isnt featured in their coverage.

I just turn on the tourcast and i can follow every shot of every player, usually clicking on the "follow" button of my player - sometimes its actually quicker than watching it on the TV coverage!!

Grrrr, just logged on now to read:

B.C. Open: Due to extensive flood damage at the En-Joie Golf Club, the tournament was moved to a new course. There was not enough time to map the new course and generate graphics for TOURCast, therefore TOURCast will not be available at the B.C. Open. We apologize for the inconvenience.

And to make matters worse Pat Perez has withdrawn before the tournament has begun leaving me with just one runner!! (though at least i get my money back, if he'd have took his tee shot on the first then withdrawn i wouldnt have been a happy monkey!!)
