See your boy is in with a shout, Ralph.

Good luck!

Cheers Marky.

Possibly the worst two fancies I have ever put up here.

Both dogged by dreadful starts, so v surprising that they made the cut in each event. Hey Ho.....


No Tiger has been picked, I could see him relax and do very well. Words I never thought I would say again. The other top boys may be looking ahead, but Tigers will to win should see him try to the very end.

25s seems fair when we consider the good old days of 2-1 for an event like this. Different times indeed.


In Europe in the rarified atmosphere in Switzerland, I am punting two guys plying their trade in the US normally, but who didn't cut enough mustard to make the play offs.

Probably the best ball striker, on this ball strikers course, Charl could blitz this, but his putting has been poor for a while.

Andres Romero finished Top Ten last year, and I recall an interview where he stated he loved the course as much as any in Europe and he would defo return. He is a lovely iron player and did well in the John Deere recently. Was generally 200s earlier in the week, but best available now 175.

Will probably chuck some smaller wagers on Horsey and Willett

I like Willett too this week in Crans - he's a previous c&d winner returning to some decent form, and my EW wager has been kindly booosted to 35/1 by those fine fellows at ladyboys.

Sensational stuff from Tiger yesterday as he shot 62 to share the lead with Rory.

It's his lowest score since 1999, when he shot a 61.

The course seems relatively easy, with a whole bunch of players within a few shots, but even so, that's impressive stuff. Tiger started the year at 656 in the World Rankings & now sits 26th.

We'll never see the old Tiger, but a passable impression will do.

The Tour Championship, aka the Fed Ex Final, takes place this week.

Field limited to just 30 players, but it's 9/1 the field;

Be careful of the place odds, they have all combinations of 4, 5 & 6 places, with quarter or fifth odds.

So, any clues where the value is?

Whatever you and Ralph don't back

In that case Koepke is the one to avoid.

All in on Finau this week.

Been mega consistent, and feels like a knocking ew bet at 22s.

Was very taken with his interview at the end of the last one. Something in his tone and attitude I hadn't seen before.

A little double with Beergarden, over in Portugal who pissed up in this last year and has also been making top tens for fun recently.

I’ve been backing Lucas selectively for about 18 months. I think he’s just a bit short here. I like Thomas Detry, who I think has a similar profile and is about a year behind in development, hopefully exactly one year :-)

I’m sure there’s value in the 30 runner field, hard to weigh up the distraction of the Ryder Cup. I’ve settled for Cantlay and Cameron Smith.
