have the USPGA down to a shortlist of Horschel, English, Laird and Haas. Steve Bamford good write up in importance of driving distance and greens in regulation stats to go well in the final major, doesnt suit shorter hitters, even in a lower yardage such as this years. Will wait and see how they get on at the warm up at the Bridgestone the week before. Rory has gone well there past few years including 5th last year and may be worth keeping an eye on to recapture some form, though in fairness it does look a long way off for him at present.
never heard of half the field in russia, wont be watching it either. candadian open lucky for me last year had Piercy e/w in both 1st round and outright markets.
concentrating on 1st round only to begin this time, go with 2 who went well last time hosted here in 2009 (including winner!) and Villegas who led in the 1st round in that occasion when shooting a 63. Villegas an ideal candidate for 1st round as tricky for him to put 2 never mind 4 good rounds together, but always has that big day in him where he can get really hot.
I see our mate Yevgeny is teeing it up tomorrow... I'm saying 85 Posted by joesman1
I was hoping that other Russian who was on for 90+ the other month was going to play. Can't remember his name now. Anyone remember? Something like Skoboda but I think that's the name of the guy who plays on the PGA Tour.
Matt Jones pulled out of the RBC Canada so just added Kyle Stanley to my team at 50/1.
With karlberg doing so well it's a shame I didn't have two runners for my double in the RBC Canada. Summerhays sitting ok at -2 and hopefully puts in a good round today. He has the earliest tee off time so hopefully it goes like yesterday with the morning starters hitting the lowest round!
Gone for a different approach this week. 3 in Europe and 1 win only in America Madsen 25/1 Kingston 50/1 Korhonen 100/1 Mahan 18/1 - Win only £1 e/w doubles Posted by FlashFlush

all bookies should do the same. they wont but they should. but he was running away with it its only a small consolation. he surely has to be looked up for the coming weeks/months - in great form at present. wonder if fatherhood will have an effect on that form. it understandably does on alot of occasions
Fudge* my life... lol. I thought I had a good chance of some decent money this weekend, with Mahan out infront looking very good and Korhonen and Kingston both in good spots in Europe there was deffo an e/w double on the cards and even a chance of the outright double.
I also made day2 of the SPT. 40 came back with 33 paid, I was first out in 40th so all that for nothing...
I'll get over it.... eventually.
*May not be the correct word, but I'm sure you can work it out.
oh i see! ah well chin up 40th still a good showing. besides by reading the thread looks like joesman has used up enough luck for both of yas / the entire room (delete as appropriate)
re the Mahan withdrawl, wasn't the chances of this happening taken into consideration by the bookies (and punters, good ones anyway) when they were pricing him up, and therefore 'all fair' ?
His missus was heavily pregnant, surely wasn't a shock to them when this happened, unlike if it was something sudden such as a family illness/death etc?
