Anyway i've done my bets nice and early for the zurich classic on thursday, i'm sure i may add 1 or two more as the tournie progresses, but for now my portfolio is the following:
2pts win Ian Poulter@16-1
Nice and refreshed after taking the week off following the masters, he placed highly in this last year, and in a lower than usual quality field looks to have a great chance with his game.
1.5pts ew Charles Howell III@28-1
Has a very decent record here over the years and is in fairly good form in prev weeks. Another who's game should thrive in new orleans.
1pt ew Brian Davis@80-1
Very unlucky last week, clearly in good form and strikes me as a streaky player, basically overpriced.
1pt ew Chris Couch@125-1
Sticking with my selection from last week, he's a dark horse with the game to compete, and has a hunger to make certain of his card.
Ok so poults is a non runer, as is prev market leader stricker, not all bad as ive got value on the howell bet which is much shorter now due to those withdrawls.
Gone in for a couple of others to make my portfolio more rounded, well just to gamble really
1pt ew Graham De Laet@100-1He was on my shortlist originally just failing to make my list. Had a nice enough place result a couple of weeks back and looks an improver at a nice price.
0.5pt ew David Duval@200-1Been signs recently he might just be still 'there' kind of on occasion. Wouldn't be a hugely confident pick but a massive price amongst players who'd never reach hights he once did, go on dd...for old times sake!
Very early days but a nice start for my bets in the Zurich Classic. Couch is in 2nd (-5), Duval and Howell tied back in 7th (-4), while Davis hasn't put himself out of it with a one under par round, and only Delaet at +2 looks up against it.
After a terrible week punting wise i could really do with a result here, here's hoping.
