In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2013 Season! (The MASTERS!!!!) Year Profit: -52.19pts : I may be wrong on this, and could look a right numpty come midnight tonight, but I don't think Kuch is going to do very well today. They will "Turn on the hoovers" as they call them and suck that moisture out, and those greens will be really firm today, and his approaches will be coming in from further, with lower trajectory that most and I think he will struggle to keep them on the green a lot of the time... People like Dustin, who are using wedges a lot of the time will have the advantage of getting a little bit of action on the ball, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him sat in first after today.

really hope your right about them playing hard and fast for obvious reasons
im liking this nick watney punter friendly philosophy of 'i know, ill lure everyone else into a false sense of security by giving others a 12 shot over me then baaam ill take them out when they leat expect it!!!'
999/1 on the machine after 2 under for the day, 2 quid win yes please : )
not beyond the realms he could shoot 66 today and get back to par for tourney?? unlikely but not impossible!
I watched the live coverage last night from 7pm and as it got toward the end i said to my m8 - can you remember any long putts. we both thought about it for a minute and couldn,t remember anyone making a put over 10-12 ft and no chip ins off the greens either
This is something i,ve never seen before. Over 5 hours of coverage and not a single long put . I know they said the greens were a bit sticky but why does it really make that much difference?
EDIT - just remembered .The longest one i do remember was from the 14 year old on the 18th which was probably a little over 12 ft - Haven,t seen any coverage yet today but what an amzing acheivment in his first round - really hoping he makes the cut
Not sure what happeneed with that bet , but its basically £5 on Rory at 16/1 Never backed him before but after watching his driving yesterday its probably my main tip now. He did leave a few shots out there but as were not even halfway through he,s just going to move up and up imo
EDIT - and he,s just gone 1 under
Ps - Didn,t see it father father V - Leishmann had already finished when the live coverage started at 7pm

Well u truly went and put the kibosh into everyone's hopes on Dustin didn't u Charles lol.
Dufner has eased my Dustin pain for now. Posted by splashies
+1 (although i ignored all the advive and didn,t back Johnson ( don,t like his putting)
I always worry when i see Dufner preparing to take his shot . He looks like he,s rushing it but he,s doing something right. Like the way he just keeps his head down and gets on with it like he,s in his own little world
I thought Tiger might open up a big lead after the first 9, but its all set for a gr8 day tommrow and pleased to see no-one got to 7 under , keeping the 14 yr old , Guan in despite his 1 shot penalty. Thats gonna be a record that will stand for many years to come
Bets going well - All under par with the exception of Molinari and Poulter who are out (which was a bad bet anyway - didn,t realise skygo was a cpl of minutes behind and thought i was geting good value)
Dufner -3 Mcclroy -2 Swarcthel -2 Haas -1
Still fancy Mcllroy tho - (he was 50/1 after his bad start although i think someone on 3 under out of Woods, Westwood, Rose and Scott are bound to shoot a low round tommorw in the mid-late 60,s
I didn't bet on the national. so I thought I'll bet on afew golfers. I didn't study the form but i watch abit of golf though. I have E/W on 4 golfers: JASON DUFNER -3 MATT KUCHER -1 BRANDT SNEDEKER -4 STEVE STRICKER -1 So I've had a good 2 days, they've been up +down up with the leaders +dropped a bit. I dont know the prices I got. they were all between 35/1 + 66/1 (1 may have been 80/1)
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2013 Season! (The MASTERS!!!!) Year Profit: -52.19pts : Not a bad day for me so far, some right in it and rest not completely out of it D Johnson -5 A Scott -3 Snedeker -2 Rose -2 Mcdowell E Bradley +1 only one that's gone is Laird in the first round leader market! stuck on a last minute one on snedeker too and got some money (£5) from a freeroll i placed in (on paddy p) which i put on rose ew as well. They pay 6 places too. so hopefully he keeps going the way he's going. Need more of the same from Johnson, scott, snedeker and rose. A good day for bradley and mcdowell would be nice to get them back into the hunt. Got a feeling the orgainisers wont have been happy with the low scorng on day 1 and i thnk there really gonna toughen it up today. So anything around the -2 to -4 would be nice from my wee team!! Tournaments simmering nicely with a lot of big names well placed! also starting to get tempted by mcilroy now at 22/1 but too concerned about his putting! Posted by jdsallstar
Mixed bag for me on day 2
Snedeker -4
Scott -3
Rose -3
Johnson -1
Bradley +2 or something
McDowell cut (my gmac ship is well and truly sunk)
Wish i went with my instinct and fired a bet on mcilroy! Would have been so much happier if Johnson hadn't had his meltdown
Happy with the position of most of my players after day 2, even my old favourite Angel Cabrera is looking good, too far back but I was pleased to see Watney bounce back with a great round, though I could have done without Flash putting the messageboard jinx on Dustin Johnson!
What a great field we have for the weekend, favourites, newbies and I'm especially looking forward to see how the seasoned pro's like Couples, Langer, Lyle, Singh and Olzabal do.
So Bell, with dry weather and firm fast greens forecast for the weekend, what chance Bo Van Pelt making a charge?
7 shots off the lead and available at 400/1 ew first 4, I'm not standing by any longer, Bo' has joined TheDarts Masters 2013 stable!
If we can get Tiger DQ'd, that would be huuuuuuge. Posted by splashies
I'm on Tiger ew 1st 6, so I've obviously got a vested interest. But ffs how much bad luck can someone have in 9 holes of golf?? He tip toed into the 1st cut of rough 3 times, so couldn't hold for the green, then his 3rd to the 15th, wow!! To use a phrase he is famed for once before at Augusta, "In your life have you ever seen anything like it". Looks like he's gonna be DQ'd.
As for the Amateur, ffs again, only John Parrymore would have done that, he likes being the centre of attention. It was a slow 6 hour round for everybody!! Why o why pick on the 14 year old kid??
Can't see anything on the PGA tour site but I expect they are all still in bed. Just people of FB saying rules are rules...?? Why might he be getting DQ'd?
EDIT: Never mind I've found it now... Well it all depends on whether he dropped at a different angle to where his last shot was played from. The rules clearly say he can go back as far as he likes as long as he is on the same line the ball entered the hazard. He can go right back to the tee if he wants...
What have I missed? What did Tiger do? Can't see anything on the PGA tour site but I expect they are all still in bed. Just people of FB saying rules are rules...?? Why might he be getting DQ'd? Posted by FlashFlush
Illegal drop on 15. He opted to play his 5th shot from same place as 3rd shot. But he dropped it 2 yards further back. You can only drop it as far back as you want, if you drop it in line with where it crossed hazard. But he didn't choose this option.
So he should get a 2 shot pen, but as he has already signed his card, means he should be DQ'd.
