Of course this might have been a lot better. Speith was two clear heading to the eighth, Couples was two clear of Jimenez heading to the back nine, Fowler finished a shot off an each way return, for example so once again we have the sound of cross-bars being rattled
Also yesterday there was a £132.50 loss on the London Marathon. In the extensive research on East African elite athletes, we ended up short Kenya, long Ethiopia and had 3rd each way at 3-1 as all to show for it
Moving on to longer term positions
* Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Man C, whilst pulsating and exciting was a horrible result. We have a £195 lay that now looms large ahead of Liverpool playing Chelsea
After that brilliant game, sitting in front of Chelsea, and hoping they would not beat Swansea for the Arsenal top three bet, was like returning home to a wicked step-mother after a night on the tiles with two supermodels
* The Arsenal top three bet hangs by a thread, and we also have £100 Arsenal to win the title too. That is gone if Arsenal do not beat West Ham tomorrow
* In Serie A Napoli won 4-2 and Fiorentina 5-3. With 5 games to go Napoli in 3rd are 9 points clear of Fiorentina in 4th. We have £10 each way on Napoli, good, but £80 on Fiorentina top 3. Oh. Staking plan issues!
* On Saturday night Bale scored again. He now has 14 in La Liga with 5 games to go. We need under 18. Reckon we must be underdogs now
So putting all that lot together proves that there are some headwinds ahead, inevitable in April/May when a lot of football ante-post is settled
* In baseball the Royals and Orioles lost last night and the Yankees won again. Moving swiftly on...
* In cricket our Division two bowler Tim Groenewald took 5-44 and a hat-trick as Derbyshire rattled Essex out for under 100 at Chelmsford, a good start for both bets. Madsen scored 30 in reply
* Our Warwickshire player Laurie Evans scored 4 on his season debut. As his team was dismissed for 87 though, not too much harm done
