In terms of the 3 balls for the first round, we had one win and two losers
The
winner was
- Furyk -4, four shots ahead of Clarke and Tom Watson
The
losers:
- Singleton +8, 9 shots behind Warren -1
- Els, who had a triple bogey on the first, hitting a child on the way and struggled to a 79
The big story of the first day was one we were on the right side of.
The first half of the draw went round in +27, and at the time of writing the second half of the draw is +92. No wind at all this morning and apparently playing a club longer this afternoon in only modest wind
So well done to the team who made sure the selections above were very much skewed towards earlier starters today/late starters tomorrow
Our tournament positions
McIlroy -6, clubhouse leader. is 9/2 favourite in running with Scott 5/1 second favourite
other morning beneficiaries:
Furyk -4
Fowler -3
Matsuyama -3
Jimmy Walker -3
Bjorn -2
Ilonen -2
Gallacher -2
D Johnson -1
Speith -1Of the afternoon starters only one recorded a round without a birdie, and he's one of ours.
Jason Dufner -3Only Dufner, Adam Scott -4 and
Shane Lowry -3 after 16 have made any impression on the leaderboard and as of now only 1 player on the course is in the top 40
We have Lowry top Irish, top GB and Irish, so that is encouraging too
Of the afternoon players in our selections
Kaymer +1
McDowell +2
Snedeker +2
Willett +2are all creditable
Jimenez +3 slightly disappointing
Cabrera +4 this morning was a rare disappointment, as was
Kuchar +1Rumford +3 is seven shots off the top Australian position
Donald +1 (a missed cut bet) out this morning was ok for us i think. rarely threatened from what i saw
Tomorrow we are skewed towards afternoon starters, which suited the last forecast i saw which was wet and a bit windy first thing, drying up later
Just to give a snapshot of one market currently:
