Do any of you guys ever factor in timezones and travelling when looking at betting in golf? It struck me yesterday when watching Donald, McIlroy and Westwood that they were playing at 3am or something in the UK. I appreciate the top guys live in the States but players like Robert Rock etc presumably travelled this week and it is a tough ask if you struggle with jetlag even if you arrived on Monday surely?

I think its a good point, i dont like players that have to travel long distances the same week as a major (although i included garcia who played in the nordea masters - it finished a day earlier cos it was the us open this week)... i haven't done any specific research but it makes sense they not going to be as fresh.. alot of them take the prior week off and come out to practice which has to be a better prep |

This tournament must have been a layer's dream with the course getting significantly tougher at the end of the day.
If that trend continues I could see someone coming from as far as four or five shots back tonight.

Really? I pretty much thought the opposite especially with some good scramblign types at the top of the leaderboard. I backed McDowell @ 4.4 and Westwood @ 8.6 yesterday although I wouldn't be averse to backing someone in running that got to +1 or something in the clubhouse but I couldn't back anyone at +4 or higher to start the day. |

Apart from Furyk who holed absolutely everything he looked at from about 12 feet in I thought the last few groups struggled in comparison to those playing earlier yesterday. Tiger and Toms especially, and they had looked amongst the best on the greens in the first two rounds. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that the vegas books were going 5/6 Tiger at the start of play. I am not a layer very often at all but I would be surprised if there are many big losers in any of the major books at this stage. I agree with you mostly but I don't think the +4's are quite dead and buried. |

I'm knackered just watching it so can imagine how mentally challenging it has been/will be today. i was buying extra boxes of Persil when TIger hit the front on Friday so just for peace of mind I am hoping he doesn't go surging today. I got a couple of chop offs in behind the front few so unusually for me I will mainly be mentally cheering Ernie Els on as I have lost my voice after sitting in a small booth with the air conn on for about 36 hours in three days.
Looks like we have a good few sweats between us, always good to have a few plays to cheer on if yours fall away.
Good luck everyone.

It really depends on what the winning score will be as to who is still in this.
If the winning score is going to be +1 then loads still have a chance but if it's -1 then there are way fewer.
