The outright in the Euro does look too tricky. I wouldn't be surprised if the early 2morrow and late on Friday draw turned out to be the best as there has to be a chance that the second round might run into Saturday morning, which might be ok weather wise.
I have taken McDowell to beat Mahan in their 18 hole match tomorrow at evens with Spreadex fixed odds, same price with Boyles. Simply fancy this as I am taking a US Open winner that regularly plays in strong winds against a US tour player that doesn't. The tie is a loser but Spreadex actually make them both evens to win this match when McDowell is much shorter in the three ball they are playing in. I think he should be odds on even allowing for the tie.
In the US I have taken Tringale to beat JB Holmes in a match at 7/10 tie no bet, reasons in Tips for Tony thread.
Also taken Cam Villegas at 10/11 in a match against Poulter that includes the tie with the Tote or Betfred.
Villegas is 50 odd under par for his last 6 stroke play events going back to last season. Has good form here and will love the atmosphere. Poulter has just become a new father again last Thursday and most of his tweets since then talk about how hectic it has been. He was practising with Rubens Barrichello last week which doesn't sound like it was too serious a work out and had 2 top twenties in the first 8 months of the season on the US tour in stroke play events last year. My gut feeling is he will be under cooked and using the next few weeks to get into shape for the Accenture matchplay event, a format he excels in.

Yes Phil, one of the best wind-players around when he's in the groove. I was on him at huge(750/1 or something like) prices in The Open a couple of years ago when he bogeyed the last to miss a playoff when Watson lost to Cink. Mind you I did trade out for a decent profit but still.. |

I wanted him in that week too, I remember looking at the red figure I had aside Tom Watson and thinking, well he isn't going to win is he? gulp |

I threw a dart at Chris Couch in the US at an average of just over 250/1, 8th and 4th here the last two years and his scoring average here in the last 2 years was almost 3 shots better than his tour average. Although the scoring here is always low so that is a little misleading but it does at least show he likes it around here. He is out early so hopefully he can get off to a good start
Laid around 15 players in the outright that I thought looked a little short and will play it in running later.

Good luck mate.
McDowell absolutely mugged Mahan there, 3 over after 6 he somehow managed to get in front halfway thru the back nine when Mahan really started to struggle in the wind. Gmac didn't get all of his drive on the par 5 18th and ended up missing from 10 feet for birdie with Mahan having hit the green in two and left it 30 feet for eagle. He managed to leave the first one 5 feet short and missed the next one for G Mac to win by 1.

A couple of my longshots are within hailing distance of the leaders but what a round by Gonzo in the worst of conditions.
Very pleased with Danny Willett's afternoon score of -3, and even Ollie Fisher's -2 in the morning isn't that far away.
Looooong way to go.
