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. Posted by joesman1
Seems a wise choice now. Think I'd prefer a Matsuyama win, as not only would the win bit pay more, but he'd only have to win one more match after Rory for me to get a return. Plus I feel he'd be more focused in his q/f, as he wouldn't have the flight/fight on his mind and be clock watching.
#anotherstandardweek yawn... Though tbh The Dartster finding Willett ew @ 200/1 was far more impressive than me finding the 10/1 fav. Well done!! He also found Luiten top Continental European too.
Binking a bit at poker made it a decent weekend all round... Onwards to next week now.

Willett 200/1 place was very nice and his third place finish has boosted his R2D points nicely, though its a pity that Rory fellow had to spoil it a little and go and win the thing.
Lol, yeah, good job you binked 'a bit' in Monte Carlo, to compensate for your paltry 10/1 winner, in what must be something like your 10th consecutive winning week on the golf.
Hope you manage to bink 'a bit' more in Monte Carlo before you get on your next helicopter
I'm already looking forward to seeing who you pick this week.

Well done again both of you! Just had a text saying that skybet are paying 7 !!! places at the players championship. So i'll be needing those selections for blatant copying !! Thank you in advance
My initial thoughts re the The Mauritius Open are that it's a very VERY weak field. Coatzee beat a similar field the other month 'despite' his form at the time, in particular his short wedge play. He's now sorted both areas out, so I feel he's a sound fav and I'm backing him win only @ 9/1. The other 1/2 of European stake is on Scott Hend ew @ 33/1. - I don't think that price will last til tee off time.
Edit:- Skybet stuck their heads up for 10 mins and dangled a carrot that had Coatzee 10/1 written on it... This donkey took the bait and they retreated back to their ranks.
In the USA I like Garcia ew @ 33/1, and many firms are paying top 6. Unfortunately the firms that are going 33/1 are the ones who won't lay me anymore. (Had the knock back from Boylesports today, to go with Bet365 and Betvictor). So im looking for help from my mates atm to get on Garcia. My other choice is Fowler ew @ 55/1. - Paddy Power still happy to oblige. I'll pick a 3rd player after some more studying.
Edit:- ok after a lot of thinking, and listening to Mr Dart, and looking at what the post fancies, I've added Justin Rose ew @ 22/1. Managed to get on with help from a mate.
Gl all - let's hope I'm saying #anotherstandardweek again on Monday, and it's 11 consecutive winning weeks.
Too much work to catch up on to put time into any research this week, so my research was looking at Neil's picks.
I agree with the Coetzee thoughts, and he should be shorter than 10/1 IMO. Does struggle to get over the finish line, but hopefully getting his 2nd win at the Tshwane will help him get over that. Also saw a certain Richard Tea Leaf at 66/1. He caught bookies out a lot earlier in the year and with this very weak field he has every chance.
I think we could be in an era of Speith and Rory bouncing off of each other. So finding them both in the same field again should prove to be a great bit of fun. So I'm going to just back them both.
Didn't realise you were on Rory as well as smashing it up in Monte Carlo. Haven't been able to get on Skybet or Skypoker due to their rules. Great work. Posted by FlashFlush
Cheers mate. And u can bypass their rules to get on Sky Poker etc and watch Sky Go... It costs u £5 a month... Darty toid me about it... Total life saver when abroad... Look up VPN
A very weak field in Mauritius and a very strong field at the Players, has brought me to the same conclusion for both events.
Lower the stakes for main selections and spread the muck a bit further, as I just cant resist some of those 3 figure prices available on offer this week and fancy at least one if not both events could quite easily produce a shock result.
The Players championship has a history of throwing up 3 figure winners and with the unknown of Mauritius anything is possible.
Mauritius
George Coetzee - 10/1 Thomas Aitken - 22/1 Kevin Phelan - 30/1 Ben Evans - 80/1

All ew first 7 Nick Watney - 150/1 Matt Jones - 150/1 Graham DeLaet - 175/1 Joost Luiten - 200/1 Ricky Barnes - 750/1
Mr Coatzee, u own big shoulders, and my god u will need them tomorrow. Not only are u carrying the triple dip weight of Strike, Meakin AND Overton, plus whoever has followed this thread this week. But ALSO half the poker fraternity that were in Monte Carlo after my mate put the word round i'm on a heater.

Wooohooo! Amazing picks again Mr Golf ! As the watching american public on a par 5 tee might say "Get in the Hole!! followed by You Da man !! I am guessing Securicor and G4S will have to accompany you to the bookies again! and those other pesky bookies may say as Roberto Duran did"No Mas!" A few holes to go in America.. but still impressive picks and i've got to work at 4am so can't stay up any longer. Well Done so far.
Well I could just wait to see what mystic Meg posts and copy for easy money, but I'd like to actually make some effort myself this week.
I had a slightly different approach to my picks this week. I shortlisted 10 players who have the best form (Standard) but as there has only been 1 event here in recent history I decided to see which stats I felt were the reason behind the leading players being there. It looked to me that driving distance is the main strength needed, followed by the putting. Strangely the 2 players who had played this event before came bottom of the list! Aiken who actually won the event and Wattell who came 5th, although their stats for 2015 were very different to 2011! One stand out winner was Alex Levy, with Uihlein in 2nd.
I hope the guru has picked the same or I'll jsut have to add more selections!
Alex Levy - 33/1
Peter Uihlein - 40/1
I was really liking the looks of Grillo this week, I know he's a favourite of Neil's but I think 20/1 and 2nd fav is far too harsh for somebody whos never actually won.
In the PGA there really looks like only 1 winner, but at 7/2 the bookies have really priced everyone out of backing Rory. Even backing him in the 2nd part of a double isn't great unless your picks on the European tour are close to 3 figures. Big Phil has a great record here. I'm not too fussed about his MC last week, as the Players has never been a great tournament for him. 2nd in the Masters shows his game is certainly there.
My other pick is impressing people hugely lately. Matsuyama is super consistant and it's only a matter of time before he wins this season.
