Interesting to see your racing Post man headlines Tom Lewis this weeks, it sort of gratifying when the pros come to the same conclusion as you, but means nothing if there's no return. Let's hope The racing Post can boost their readers and come up with two winners on the bounce!
I've increased our forum get together this week and added a Rose, Fleetwood double.
Looking at the tee times I never like to see my players grouped in the same section of the draw as it puts all your eggs in one basket if the weather has a say on things.
In China my guys all go out in the afternoon, in New Orleans my guys all go out in the morning.
So in Europe I've added Gregory Havret 80/1 from the early starters.
In New Orleans I've added Troy Merritt 90/1 form the late starters.
Here goes.... Made my decisions and got my bets on early this week, just been busy all day ferrying around my very newly born step grand-daughter. Yep, it's now official, I'm an auld ba@tard!!! In Europe its Mr Fleetwood the main bet ew @ 20/1. Levy ew @ 28/1. Finally I got the early 50/1 about Howell, again ew. Over the pond, my main bet is Rose ew and win only @ 10/1. Justin Thomas ew @ 40/1. Overton ew @ 100/1, and top 10 19/2. Streb ew @ 100/1 and 90/1. Finally Mcgirt ew @ 150/1. One last bet was an ew double on Fleetwood and Rose. Gl everyone.

I think you should drop the 'step', granddaughter and granddad sound just fine

I was hoping the 'step' bit might save me money, alas it doesn't...
Neil the infamous "Triple Dip " is runnning tonight at Bath 6.55pm. Its a slightly! bigger price than 1/20 but at 5/2 it has been backed and may be worth another punt. Or maybe a straight double with Dubuisson.

I won't say it won easily ..but it won at 11/4 .So i ended up doing a £2 rev forecast with the fav(paid about £21) and £8 win and an £8 dble with Victor Dubuisson at 66/1 for the open. So i now have a £30 very interesting! win bet for the open.Good luck all !

Lol.... Be the weirdest bet up so far on this thread if Victor gets the job done. Really hope he does, for u obvs.
Its a great result whatever happens! I just thought that a horse that goes off at 1/20 can't be that bad a horse.(When it got beat at 1/20 on i did have a cheeky £3 on the 16/1 winner(2nd FAV)(Could not mention that after darty bocked your 1/20 shot!)Anyway they did back another horse in the race to favourite and good ol' Triple did the business!! just!
Impressive results again!Unlucky with Howell choking at the end.Did you have an ew double with Rose and Howell or just Rose and Fleetwood? Well done also to Darty for hitting the target with adding Rose.
Rose - 10/1 winner Howell - 50/1 2nd = 12.5/1 winner Levy - 28/1 3rd = 7/1 winner
Next up Matchplay, with a new format on a course with minimal course history, it will be interesting to see if you can keep the run good going in this event.
As for me, well for a while it looked like my 150/1 shot Mateo Mannasero was at the very least going to come up with a place, sadly whilst the game tee to green is definitely there, young Mateo appears to have also decided to reinvent himself on the putting greens and a new putting grip is still clearly a work in progress!
A win might not be too far a way, but I think I'll wait until Neil backs him

Thanks Any2..... Nope only had Fleetwood and Rose doubled, else Howell would have been on my t@ats list.
Thoughts turn to this week, not had chance to look at the draw yet, that's tonights entertainment in bed. Her indoors will be pleased to know that..... But my initial thoughts are that it favours the big boys. I much preferred the instant knockout system. The round robin format appeases the TV networks, and let's the favs have a slip up and still qualify. So, with this in mind, I'll not be auto discounting the market leaders as I nornally do in this event.
So after plenty of foreplay in bed, I'm ready to explode into action:- it's the usual Matchplay format for me, 1 pick from each quarter, and hope that at least 1 of my selections makes it through the Round Robin stage. It's DEFO a reduce stakes event (ok I'm not, im riding the wave til the run ends).
Rory win only @ 10/1 (double the stake of the other selections)
Rose ew @ 20/1
Garcia ew @ 33/1
Bradley ew @ 66/1
Gl everyone
Edit... BIG EDIT.... I've just read that Mr McLroy is heading for Vegas sat night for the fight. Just a 1200 mile round trip to squeeze between a poss q/f and semi!!! He might not be overly bothered this week then. So I've added Matsuyama ew @ 33/1, and hope he plays Rory in the last 16.
I really can't get too excited about any one this week.
It seem with the revised format the media want to see Rory, Jordan (or last years winner Day), Bubba and Stenson playing on Sunday.
Then again perhaps we shouldn't presume this will be the case, if you consider the European Tour started a similar strategy with the Volvo Matchplay and things haven't always gone to 'plan'.
In Europe they seeded 16 of the 24 players and the winners have been:
2014 - Illonen - seeded 10th 2013 - GMac - seeded one (well he is a class act, but he defeated Jaidee in the final who was seeded 15 out of 16) 2012 - Colsaerts - seeded 12th 2011 - Poulter - seeded 9th
Pre draw I was keen on Matt Kuchar, my dark horse was Hunter Mahan and my total rag was Ben Martin and they've all been drawn in the same group!
With my R2D investment on Danny Willett, I'll be looking out for him, but he'll do well to get past Reed and Moore and Sullivan cant be ignore.
If somehow Willett got through his group his reward will be a match up against the winner of the Jordan Spieth group!
Still won't stop me having a little ew tickler on Willett at 200/1
I will undoubtedly follow Neil's strategy of backing one in each quarter, but at the moment the only one I've gone with any conviction on is Paul Casey 40/1.
