with no bridgestone pricing up ive already looked ahead to the USPGA and MARTIN LAIRD jumps off page. 125/1 for a guy who really impressed me for 40 holes this week. a 9 on a par 4 was always gonna blow the stuffing outta anyone.
Wd all those on Lefty.... At least Poulter gave me a bonus return to go along with Westy. Really was hoping for a big return, not just a good one though..... Grrrrrr
I'll be gone for a couple of week's so happy tipping all and good luck at the SPT Flash, you are in my fantasy team, so I'm hoping you do a bit better than that Joesman bloke did last time!
Canadian Open this week, I'll see if I can do a bit of research before I leave and find a Canadian with some decent form and stats

Cheers mate.
I really enjoyed when we did 6max last time, it's so much more fun than slow boring live 9 or 10 handed. Hopefully I can try win something for us both! (I need it after coming up dry on the golf for about a month now). Online poker isn't much better at the moment either!

What could I do, you aren't registered for the event, so I couldn't pick you.
Obviously if I'd know you were playing, you'd have been my captain!
Now I have 'insiders' knowledge I could change my team, but that wouldn't be fair on everyone else.
Good luck Neil, though I'm sure you are going to enjoy the,weekend good luck or not!
Early doors value spotting... Van der Walt.. 50/1 with Sky. I had him on my shortlist before any odds were up, he is 28/1 and 33/1 with the other bookies ATM. I've done a quick £3 e/w because he is bound to go down to 33 or 40 in the next hour or 2

In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2013 Season! (Open Championship) Year Profit: +609.96pts : Do you know anything about him? Posted by jdsallstar
Well I don't know him personally no ;-)
He first came to my attention earlier in the year when they were doing the South African swing. He got 5th in the African Open, he hasn't done a lot since, but came 2nd on a co-sanctioned event last month when he lost to Simon Thornton in a play off. He then backed that up with a T29 at the BMW Open which is a much harder field. He hasn't played since then, so not sure what's caused that... FWIW, he also had T25 the week before he got that 2nd place, so has been in the top 30 for his last 3 starts.
The European tour site shows the course is fairly long which doesn't help as he is a short hitter, but the rough is very punishing, which would be in his favour as he is 12th in driving accuracy.
Adding to that... I'm a bit of a sucker for South African players, I think they are extremely good, so this may be why I'm about to mention another player...
Having a look again at the course details, the main points are the rough is punishing and around the greens is very difficult, so obviously you want a straight driver with good scrambling.
So like I siad above: Van Der Walt - 12th Accuracy - 11th Scrambling. (50/1) But also...
James Kingston Accuracy 16th - Scrambling 3rd! (40/1 - 55/1) ... Also 8th for putts per green in regulation and 6th for overall putts!

If you haven't shared a pint with the guy then its just lazy research to be honest. Some minor stalking at the very least is required
Having said that some good info there and had a little wager myself of £2 ew lol
Tommy Fleetwood 2pts e/w @ 25/1. Event returning to the course for first time in 5 years. Fleetwood holds the course record, set in a challenge tour event.
Alexandre Kaleka 2pts e/w @ 66/1. Won the challenge tour event on this very course last year.
Canadian Open
Graeme De Laet 2pts e/w @ 35/1. Why not eh, havent done any research for this event as it's too hot and i cba. I'm sure Darty will post good reasons why.
Hideki Matsuyama 2pts e/w @ 40/1. What a talent this kid is, with excellent performance in the majors this year. One for the future, but a gut pick this week.
Russian Open What a shocking field this is. Tommy Fleetwood 2pts e/w @ 25/1 . Event returning to the course for first time in 5 years.

It was a different course back then. You're correct that is was used on the challenge tour though.

Lol @ Darty..... I've waited til it was opened up.... I'll reg tomorrow if I don't get in after one attempt at the semi.
Low key event, poor field, no TV coverage.... But I'll have a dabble on a future star Morten Orum Madsen ew 28/1.. Tom Lehman 12/1 win only for the round bellies.
Done a little bit of research and found out that there seems to be a bit of reverse relationship between the open and the RBC i.e. do well in the open do poorly in Canada and vice versa. So I'm staying away from most of the favourites who all had decent open championships.
There's bit of a trend between the PGA tour event that runs alongside the open and the Canada open. 2012 really had this connection i.e. where 5 of the top 9 in Canada where all in the top 10 in the True South Classic. Also seems to be a bit of a connection between those who didn't play the week before (i.e. open or other 1) but did well in the John Deere and Greenbrier in the two weeks before the open week. Maybe it's because the non-open events are all low scoring events and the open is traditionally won with a score closer to par their game is better prepared for the low scoring RBC Canada. Might be just travel and the hangover from the intensity of a major.
Didn't do much research on the Russian one as I think the field is so poor it's a bit of a lottery.
Based on the above my picks are:
RBC Canada
Daniel Summerhays 50/1 T2 in Sandersons, T4 in John Deers and T9 in Greenbrier
Matt Jones 66/1 T7 in John Deere and T2 in Greenbrier.
Horschel and Delaet fall into my didn't do well in the Open category but their odds aren't great and I've backed them a few times with no return. So i've fell out with them lol so they're guaranteed winners now!
M2M Russian Open
Rikard Karlberg 45/1 Came 4th in Nordea Masters is the only reason for this one lol
Gareth Shaw 66/1 First year on tour and has made 9 cuts out of 12 (albeit the majority being on the challenge tour. Of the 3 he missed two were in his first 3 events. He has only one top 5 and that was in Ireland but followed that up with a very respectable T13 in the Open de France. In the three European tour events he's played in he has finished T15 or better in all three. So with the weak field he must stand a decent chance in this one. Oh and he's Northern Irish

Nice one Phil had a tenner on you at 18/1 :-)
