I normally like to back thoroughbreds but this week field of carthorses leaves me backing players purely on price, i.e there aint no way I'm backing any of this shower at less than 50's, If any of those guys at 28-32 go on and win good luck to them but no way can I back them so low, so 3 picks with a view to probably back a couple more in running when these donks fail me!

Chris Stroud @ 75
Chad Campbell @ 75 ( Glad I took it yday, just logged in and see him at 55 now albeit nothing matched yet, was he tipped up somewhere?)
Ricky Barnes @ 160

Ricky Barnes is a good tough course player too Sweet, I almost added him too but always worry about him at the business end.

gl tho.

I'm  not convinced by anyone in this field at the business end, It's pretty much a crapshoot! But someones gotta win!

[bobby1]

Yes that's true too.

I hope there is no weather bias on this draw today because all my picks are out late and all of the early starters who were fancied seem to have got off to fliers!, Hoff,Kuchar,Jacob all off well!

In the LPGA event in Hawaii where -3 is leading after the first round my girl Hedwall was -3 after her first nine holes.

Her average drive so far is 284 yds. and she hit 14/18 greens yet still managed to card +1.

I'm still hopeful as she's out early today.

I will be v disappointed if Westy doesn't win in Indonesia after such a good start, tho my Jimmy walker bet looks like he might need some help!

Fingers crossed for Hedwell Ralph.

The weather is set to hit the US event 2morrow afternoon, Sky live coverage starts at 15.30, instead of the usual 20.00 slot.

You called the draw bias perectly there bobby, looks like afternoon starters at much the worse of it yesterday.... not that I'm complaining

[bobby1]

Good luck with Tringale mate, those afternoon starters this week really showed how hard it can be predicting weather. It was bad but playable, if it had been bad but thundery, or balls were moving on the greens they would have been off and back this morning in conditions that were better. Every prob did really well to put up 2 over for the 16 he played.

When it became clear they were going to have to stay on course and play I took two small bets Piercy and Adams, just coz they looked about 15-20 points bigger at the time than they would be at the end, they ended up about 12 points shorter so I got a little to cheer on but I am glad I steered clear of it for any serious laying in the first two rounds.

[sweet potata!]

Right, Heres hoping for a Curtis meltdown today, I have Stroud clinging on at -2 .

Have added Kuchar and Noh for a bit of interest too, hopefully its blowing a gale!

[T_Mar]

had all 3 picks T11 or better at start of today, was hoping one could make a run at places, not looking likely right now, fkn sighhhhh

Nice to see a quality man win again, much respect for coming to Europe and playing this season when he wasn't getting in every week in the US. Would have been easy for him to accept his career was going south but had least had the gumption to do something about it.

I thought his swing looked really good this week, far better than when he won The Open.

He's in my notebook for July.

They mentioned he had changed his putting grip very recently too and he holed out really well this week.

In a comp like this weeks, on the right track he might well win again.
