[Graham C]

I've had a small wager on Monty.

[totalise]

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

[Karabiner]

It's about time Seve won this again. 

[Newportlad]

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.

[Karabiner]

Would like to tip Monty, but he just doesn't play well on the links.

  But I would like to tip him into a cesspit

[Rooky9]

Drummond
Katayama
Ferrie
Monty

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

[Nakor]

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.

[brad.strider]

davis love  at 66/1 looks pretty generous!

[Newportlad]

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

[matt674]

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...

[matt674]

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!!

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

[bobby1]

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