Does anyone think Rory could be a good bet this week?
Obviously he isn't in great form, but looking at his PGA tour results this year, he has played 11 events, made 9 cuts and 4 of those are top 10's 1 of those was 2nd.... those are stats a lot of tour players would take!
He is pushed right out to 28/1 this week! His course form is pretty good as well, last 3 years have been 5th, 6th and 9th.
I know it's been said pretty much every tournie he's in, but he really is a player that could turn up and play well out of nowhere.
It appears to be playing outside of America where he struggles...

flash I was just thinking the same thing!! that's the best odds he's been for well over a year and it's a course he clearly is comfortable on. it's also a course where there's plenty of birdie opportunities which is the kind of course I think mcilroy likes.
problem is with rory if it isn't in the mood he'll just put his head down and shoot a horrible score - which is very frustrating if you've backed him!
Zach Johnson at 40/1 looks like a good solid bet to me!

Yeah that does sound good. It looks from history that the consistent players do the best here so he should be up there. I was thinking Steve Stricker, he seems to be up there every year and 33/1.
Not sure Tiger is nailed on. he hasn't won here since 2009 when he was ridiculously dominant all year!
EDIT: Don't take 40/1! That is the shortest around, look on oddschecker, he is between 50's and 66 with everyone else!

Good spot cheers flash. stricks does have a good record here with 3 top 10's in last 4 years I'm just not sure if he can win in such a strong field! Maybe a top 5/10 bet could be good for him!
was very surprised at Mahan being 28/1 thought that was a little short - the guy has just had a baby i'm not sure golf would have been his top priority this week lol maybe it's just because he's been in the news they're worried he'll get bigger backing this week!
rorys a great bet this week. he is not nailed on to win or even to show up well for that matter but priced up accordingly at 33's (magic sign) which is huge for someone so talented and who has had 3 good finishes here last 3 years. this much more his kind of test than the likes of the open and last years PGA win shows these courses play to strengths. Ben Coley Sporting life selects him and MOLINARI and the latter is, as stated by him, great value at 150/1. one thing i didnt kn ow which mr coley pointed out was that Francesco has been on record of saying this one of his fave courses so certainly worth a dabble in both outright and 1st round markets.
same applies to martin laird who has respectful results at Firestone. rory will be win only in the outright as id feel pretty silly if he won at those odds when his previous course form is so strong.
the keegster first caught my eye here 2011 and backed him the following week at the pga and then last year here for 2 big results. he should have a half decent showing this time around but disagree with the aforementioned Mr Coley this time who selects him as his main pick and will be leaving him out of any staking plan for the moment anyway, which is tough considering he is my favourite golfer, a decision i may come to regret we'll see.......

Really?! don't get me wrong he's a great golfer but jeez he's hard to watch with the length of time he takes to do anything and the jittery antics crack me up!
money talks due to the PGA win and he has good irish roots , love the guy , love the jittery antics and all the rest. as self proclaimed WUM , anything that winds others up is all good ; )
My main tip this week is Rory Sabbatini in the Reno-Tahoe. It's all about birdies and his total birdies and average birdies stats are very good! He also finished with the lowest round on Sunday. Ticks all the boxes IMO.
wp jd and joesman for binking seats in totp. not sue if i'll be betting this week as i'm off on hol end of week. Posted by splashies
