First three days the weather looks fine, the weekend looks a right mess, very windy on Saturday, very very windy ( as in they might not play in it) on Sunday. Will post the exacts later when I can.

The current weather forecast for the week, Saturday looks tricky but Sunday looks almost unplayable if it does reach 45kmh. I remember Casey and Villegas playing a par three a few years ago when the wind was blowing so hard they took them off the course str8 after that hole. Casey conceded the hole to Villegas in 5 after both of them had failed to reach the green and gone in a pond. So if it blows as hard as forecast on Sunday it might be a Monday finish,as the semi's, 3rd place play off and final all take place on Sunday.
Wednesday 22c Wunny Winds around 10kmh
Thursday 23c Sunny Winds around 12-18kmh
Friday 23c Sunny Light winds 6-10kmh
Saturday 24cSunny Windy 20-30kmh
Sunday 23c Sunny Windy 35-45kmh
Dove Mountain is deffo a course that favours power, esp on the back nine, tho interestingly the last two winners, Donald and Poulter have both been the shortest hitters in the final yet produced immaculate short games to win.

That weather forecast is still the same,other than the wind is now slightly stronger on Saturday too.
Just one outright bet for me so far on Webb Simpson, tho I have bet Kyung Tae Kim at 6/5 to beat Anders Hansen in their first round match. I'm not even sure he is second fav in that.
If you are taking a bet in the outright and want to play each way then you are probably better off splitting your bets into a win bet and a top 4 bet on Betfair as most firms are 1/4 the first four which is pretty rigid for the place part.
Just for example, Mcilroy is top price 12/1 with the books, at a quarter the odds the first four it makes him 3/1 to be in the top 4 fixed odds, yet you can bet bigger for the win on BF and there is plenty of almost 4/1 for him to finish in the top 4 on BF too. Some of the others will be the same.

Rickie Fowler @ 75 is my sole selection so far this week.
It's Go Time as the great man would say.

You could put a line through a lot of the field this week without much thought and most of them are at the top end of the betting. I think there are some great bets in the bigger prices this week.
Big hitters and natural draw are out. If the wind gets up as Bobby predicts then thats going to offer more lines through.
Tiger has the right shot shape now but i can't back him because of his flat stick woes and his tendency to play a bit too safe at the moment.
Donald fits all the requirements perfectly
Longer price picks -
Manassero
Lawrie
Molinari
Jimenez (i can't understand his price against garcia in the opening match so have punted that to)
McDowell (don't really want to but his game fits, his heads not right imo)
Laird
My top 3 picks -
Donald
Manasarro
Lawrie (great match play and wind player)
