Rose is the one i really fancy here but just cant back him at those odds.
Garcia 18/1 - Instead I opted for a seriel choker at short odds . Dunno fancy garcia in this one, he's been in great form this year but there'll always be a doubt about his "get there" ability.
Donaldson 35/1 - he's the type of player i like backing. Never seems to give up and rarely not competitive.
Bjorn 66/1 - i thought these were pretty good odds for someone who can go toe to toe with the best on his day.
FRL
Luiten 45/1 - cant believe I havent backed him in the outright so had to make up for it with an frl
Bjorn 60/1 - what can i say i like tommy bjorn lol
Colonial
Market's a bit rubbish and cant see too much value in anyone. so decided to have only 1 punt in the outright and 3 frl's
Oosthuizen 55/1 - about the only value I could see in the field.
Edit: added leishman at 55/1 here as well after convincing myself writing up my reasons for him in my frl bet. Convincing myself to put on more bets - i'm a bookies dream haha
frl's
Casey 55/1 - backed him for the frl last week and he missed out then threw in the best 2nd round of the field (i'm pretty sure anyway) so thought i'll give him another chance this week.
Leishman 50/1 - solid performance at the players with a decent 67 in round 4 followed up by 4 good rounds at the byron nelson which suggests to me he's coming into some good form. Leishman is a very streaky player after looking at his record and seems to go on runs of 3/4 good results in a row before dropping off again. hopefully he's on a streak again
oosthuizen 55/1 - played well last week and hopefully his back problems are hopefully on the mend now.
Last bets - just a bit gutted as i was going to back Bjorn on the 1st befor e he birdies the second so lost out in price for 1st rounder leader. Certainly think the leader will come from one of these early starters

GL JD with Bjorn - weather chanes everything again
If i,d put my £2 on Bjorn 2 mins earlier i might have got 20,s but win is a win ( even though its only late afternnoon)
I don,t normally back Justin Rose but his putting has been as good as i,ve seen over last cpl of months so i,ve stuck an extra £2 on him for The Open . He also doesn,t get flustered and can come back from bas runs. As for Rory . How can he be favourite for any tournament? (EDIT - apart form that eagle he,s just got in from about 100 yards) To inconsistent esp putting
Gonna leave rest of open bets until it starts now and study weather . Going down on the Wednesday for the final practise day . Hopeully i pick some tips up on an niggling injury or cold or something that the ca,era s might miss.
Looks easier said that done now but wish i,d done Stenson in a dbl with Senden. ( Think Sended will carry on playing well this year0
Latest odds at 4,55pm . Looks like they,re writing the field off already - Although anyone knows a 2 or 3 shot lead can soon dissapear on 1 hole round here
Not sure if odds are showing above ., tried copying off oddschecker . can someone let me know if you can see them - thx
Very last bet for now for the Open (Think i got 6 players now).
Can,t undertsand this price . I ,m presuming he,s no form on lynx courses as why else would he be such a price and can,t see it drifting. (not even 100% sure he,s even qualified - maybe thats reason for the price)
Another high finish over the pond in nxt few weeks and he,ll surely get backed in
Also added e a little saver on Kaymer as they said recently - "he,s gone back to same swing he had when he was no.1 for a bit and had another good today shooting 4 under - good front runner as well if he can get a start)
Last bets - just a bit gutted as i was going to back Bjorn on the 1st befor e he birdies the second so lost out in price for 1st rounder leader.

Nice one m8 . I got on it and have backed Mclroy again who is finishing well

Bish bash bosh
Cheers flash and mp, it's not quite over just yet with a few still to finish round 1 but barring a miracle I should get a winner for first time in ages. Frls are normally a bit of punt but I actually think I've made more in them than the outright market this year.

now that would have been a good double sweat but juat the singles to get excited about
Quite a frustrating week for me last week. I didn't mention it on here, but shortly into the 1st round I backed Tim Clark @90/1 as he was one I looked at pre-tournament but decided against due to poor form. He was -3 very early, so added him to my selections. Both him and Chris Kirk were T5 going into Sunday, Timmy even led on his own at one point, but then a double and he kind of lost his head and they both plummeted.
I don't feel confident about my picks this week, but last time I said that I landed a 150/1 winner. Haha!
Nordea Masters - I'm a big fan of the Swedish golfers and they seem to do really well here, so no surprise it's an all Swedish affair for me.
Jonas Blixt - 20/1 - Seems to have turned into a very high profile player this season, and on 'home' soil, I think 20/1 is too large.
Peter Hanson - 33/1 - Struggling the last year or 2, but wouldn't forgive myself if he won here and I wasn't on him.
Robert Karlsson - 60/1 - No surprise here, I've backed him a couple of times recently and been left disappointed, but I'll give him one last go this week.
Memorial
Michael Thompson - 100/1 - 11th at the Wells Fargo, 10th last week with a M/C at the Players in between. With a T8 here last year, he is decent e/w value
Kevin Chappell - 66/1 - Decent showing last week, was leading at one stage, helped by a 63. Also got 2nd here last year. Probably more of a chance to place than win as the field is very strong this year.
It's just been brought to my attention, that it was this week last year when Splashie and myself got the double on Illonen and Kuchar. Come on Splashie, if that's not enough to get you having a bet then nothing is.

Wow, can't believe it's been a year.
I'm busy this weekend so still won't be having a bet.

Well last week ended in tatters as it has too often this season for me. 3 players in contention (Donaldson just for a place admittedly ) and they had final rounds of +3, +2 and +2. Because of how it played out with bjorn it meant I could back lowry and Mcilroy to lock a little more profit. Less than half of what I would have if bjorn had won like he was SUPPOSED TO!!! Not bitter at all lol
Anyway on to this week....
Memorial
Bubba-licious 28/1 - due to my backing of lowry and Rory i bagged myself a £10 free bet to use on this one. Bubba has been in great form this year and I'm hoping he has now shook off his masters win to perform well this week. Should at the very least be competitive.
Jason day 40/1 - was in great form pre injury so hoping hes back to full fitness.
Frl
Matt Jones 60/1 - old faithful.
Dustin Johnson 28/1
Nordea
Spanish attack!!
Cabrera bell 40/1
larrazabal 45/1
frl
Zanotti 80/1
Hoey 80/1
in honour of it being double remembrance day I've put on 32 10p ew doubles
I had a flight to catch Tuesday so got my bets on early, I had a whole heap of reasons for backing the players I did, here's the brief summary:
I wouldn't be surprised if Rory and Henrik came away with the main honors this week, but I'd still be happy with a couple of top 5 finishes. My ew doubles are:
The Value Double that Should go Deep
Andy Sullivan - 80/1, He's been putting in some very good performances this season and looks capable of winning. It's a bit of a strange field this week and with many players having zero course experience, maybe this week represents as good an opportunity as any for Andy Sullivan to get his first win. 80/1 certainly looks good value.
Russel Henley - 80/1, Already won this year, he has good form here and just looks too big at 80/1.
Double Scottish
Richie Ramsay - 66/1, Both myself and Flash have picked him a few times without success, it's my turn again this week. I like what I've seen of his body language in recent events, to me he looks like a player with game, who is full of confidence. If that's the case, in this field, he should fancy his chances this week,
Russel Knox - 125/1, Not played here before, but he's one of my shortlist players that ticks the right key stats in a big way. He's having a good season and played well last week.
The Dark Horses
Rikard Karlberg - 80/1, Seeing that he is still available at 80/1 or bigger, I am now wondering if I've mixed my Swedes up. I thought this guy had been playing well recently, with a recent top 5 and he is also one of a handful with competitive course form here, with a top 20 finish back in 2010. I expected to see him tipped by a few people and his price to be now closer to 50/1, the fact that his price has drifted and he's been ignored by all, makes me think I may have been mistaken. Too late now, I'm on!
Ryo Ishikawa - 150/1, I'm giving him another chance based on my interpretation of players that are performing well in certain key stats. I also think this course should play to Ishikawa's strengths and he can also get away with the odd wide off the tee, without too much of a penalty.
Too Big to be True?
Magnus A Carlsson - 250/1, I didn't expect 250/1 to still be available but it is, so maybe I didn't get the bargain I thought I had. If the venue plays to the strength of somebody who is accurate tee to green, then Magnus A Carlsson is the man and of course he is Swedish.
Michael Thompson - 110/1, He's come up on my radar a couple of times recently and is also showing up well on my key stats, 10th last week and a top 10 here last year, at 3 figures, he really does look too good to be true.
I've added Jens Dantorp to my bets as well. I saw him tipped pre-tournament at 200/1 because it's a new course and it's his home venue. I went to back him when -5 @55/1 but decided I would stick with my bets. He then birdied the next to got -6 on his own and the 55/1 went, so I've got him at 40/1 e/w but only 4 places paid.
Into the well once more... Early Tee Time on a Thurs for one R McLroy means only one thing.. He leads.. He fades... He comes back... And finishes between 2nd and 10th.... So it's Mclroy 25/1 win only 1st round leader.... My only outright bet is Stenson 25/1 ew 1st six Gl guys Ps bring me gl vibes guys....Playing Day 1c of the UKIPT tomoz (sat'd in for £55, so result already tbh) Posted by joesman1
I've dug this little gem out.... Rory surpassing himself today. Shoots 63 in the 1st round, and he's nearly shot that already in his 2nd round..... After 9 holes!!!
