No European Tour event this week, so just the one event to bet on.
PGA Tour - Honda Classic
It looks like it will probably be a tough scoring event again this week, if previous years are to go by.
First pick is Charl Schwartzel. I'm going to stick with him again for another week. He notched a top 15 here last year and i always fancy him on tough courses.
Second pick is Mark Wilson. He won this event in '07 and comes into the week in great form after his excellent display in the matchplay. He is already a winner this year too, i think hes excellent value this week.
Finally, Ben Crane. Has come in the top 5 in this event twice out of the last four years. Has managed 3 top 10's this season already and usually goes well in tough conditions.
I might be completely wrong but I think the fav's in the Honda are suspect this week. After a hard slog last week, and another WGC event next week, how bothered are Mclroy and Westwood gonna be this week?? And Woods?? OMG he was poor again last week. With these heading the betting, we are getting juicy prices on everyone else. At 66/1 I'm giving Rickie Fowler another chance. Double the odds he's been most of the season.
Was gonna go for Yang like Flashie has but instead picked 3 others: S.O'Hair@66/1 £2 e/w F.Jacobson @50/1 £2 e/w K.Stanley @33/1 £3 e/w No particular reason on any except don't fancy any of the favourites or any one who had a run last week, GL all Posted by jackda

lol.... am i allowed to ridicule myself??? Rory wins... Tiger 2nd.... Westy 4th.... and just to rub salt into my wounds Fowler finishes 1 shot off the money and a nice 16.5/1 place win... somehow managed a double bogey from the middle of the 6th fairway grrrr
I think I've managed to get some decent prices by choosing my picks early this week. Not all bookies have opened the market for this weeks event yet.
First pick is Charl Schwartzel. This is the third week in a row i've gone for him now. He managed to place last week, even after visiting the water hazards numerous times during his 4 rounds. He's playing really well for 90% of his rounds, so a win this week is well within his capabalities.
Second pick is Rickie Fowler, this is purely going by the stats. Tied 8th here last year + T7th last week = solid pick.
Finally, its a gut feel pick in Webb Simpson. He hasnt played much this year as of yet, but from his 4 events in 2012 he's managed 2 top 10's already. 45/1 for the World ranked 6th player is decent value.
lol we've all been there joesman. I got a tiny bit of money back with Schwartzel finishing T5. Well played Rory though! Posted by splashies
I'm afraid I can't bring myself to say 'well done' the week after I stood to win a decent bet off him, played like a fool in the final. I backed him for weeks prior to St Andrews only for him to follow his opening 64 with an 81. . Backed him at Augusta last year then left him alone for the US Open. . . Can't catch him right.

25/1(grrrr) and also going for Mahan £2e/w @33/1,did well here last year after the 1st couple of rounds and obv won the other week.gl all
3 stand out players had really good final rounds last week, so that's the reason I've gone for them this week. Something must of clicked for Woods last week and I think he has a great chance (I never normally bet on him).
Gone for Westwood this week. . . Surely his turn to bag a big one must come soon. Also can't let Fowler go after coming so close to a place last week, though it irk's that he is 16 points less this week in a stronger field.
