Got A Johnson at 30/1 before it started. Tenner each way. He was leading yesterday until almost the end. Be interesting viewing this weekend. But I know my luck, sky pay 6 places so he'll be 7th then.
Most of my picks in contention to a degree over the weekend but in the end just a bit of damage limitation with the tied places for Gmac and Fleetwood.
An open field with Casey, Reed, Matsuyama & Scott co favourites at 14/1. Prefer to go with players with some course form and/or current form so my five to beat the field are:
Alex Noren is the 8/1 favourite here with Thomas Pieters at 9/1. Noren is in great form but has tended to dip slightly after a win so I am going for Pieters here plus a few decent each way bets.
It will probably take -20 to win here and Scrambling, GIR & Putting are the main qualities required so we know what kind of players we need to get into contention. Here are my team.
Go on then, picked a few just to keep the interest going.
CIMB tough one, relatively easy course and form hard to judge due to the change in continent and some of the big names coming back from a break after the ryder cup. Just gone for Piercy who has course form.
Portugal, stuck with Warren and Jacquelin from last week's picks.
CIMB Classic An open field with Casey, Reed, Matsuyama & Scott co favourites at 14/1. Prefer to go with players with some course form and/or current form so my five to beat the field are: Ryan Moore 16/1 Justin Thomas 18/1 Kevin Na 22/1 Gary Woodland 33/1 Danny Lee 175/1 Good Luck!

BOOM!!!!!!!
An Eight under par final round by Justin Thomas saw him take this title for the second consecutive year and clinch us an 18/1 Win.
Lahiri could only hit par as he saw his four shot lead evaporate and Thomas take the trophy on -23 by three shots from Matsuyama. Other notables included Lahiri -19, Leishman -17, Bradley -16, Hend -15, Hahn -14, Cabrera Bello -13, Scott -13, Piercy -13, Knox -13, Poulter -12, Moore -12, Garcia -12, Grillo -12, Casey -11, Grace -8, Reed -4, Els +4, Choi +5
Ryan Moore 16/1 -12 Tied 17th Justin Thomas 18/1 -23 WINNER!!! Kevin Na 22/1 -9 Tied 29th Gary Woodland 33/1 -3 Tied 56th Danny Lee 175/1 -4 Tied 51st
Let's hope for more success in Portugal this afternoon.
Rory McIlroy is 11/2 favourite just ahead of Dustin Johnson at 6/1 with the field at 22/1, including Casey, Matsuyama, Stenson, Scott, Thomas, Garcia & Reed.
Not going to be going too big this week so looking for players with a good course record and / or in good form at a variety of prices.
A weakened field here with the big hitters at the WGC. Chris Kirk heads the betting at 14/1 with Kizzire the only other player under 30/1. My plan is to go with Kizzire, the experience of Toms and a couple of long shots who are ready to step it up to the next level.
