Ryan Moore 28/1 £2ew Good form and good course form
Ryan Palmer 33/1 £2ew Good form and good course form
Marc Leishman 45/1 £1ew Excellent recent form and played well last week. Didn't watch it on tv but from watching the pga app looked like his putter let him down but this weeks course's winning scores tend to be a lot higher so birdies should be easier to come by. No course form.
Also used my free bet for a double.
Rory Mcilroy 3/1 and Phil Mickelson 14/1 £2.5 ew (free bet) Hard to see mcilroy not being up there come Sunday. I'd be very surprised if he isn't in the last two pairings. Likewise mickleson if he plays to anywhere near his potential he'll be up there too. Think he has a some of ongoing back injury though so may regret this one.
Still waiting for the first round leader market odds to go up and i'll probably have a dabble in those too.
just checked the news on mickelson and his back problems. He wont be playing the pro am on Tuesday due to it and said the following:
"If it was any other tournament, I’d skip it," Mickelson said in a news release, “but I’m defending, it’s my second home town and I love the event. I’ll have a light practice session and if it goes well I may try to play.”
Doesn't sound too good. Even if he does play doesn't sound like he'll be 100%.
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2014 Season! (Farmers Ins + Qatar Masters): [QUOTE I finished off last week or started this week, by finally finding a player I felt offers some value in the R2D market and have backed, Thorbjorn Olesen at 125/1 ew first 4.
Just checked the prices for R2D and the firm where I backed Olesen at 125/1 yesterday, now has him at 50/1, wow!
Good signs this week, we all seem to be on the same players!! I won't bother with a write up as mosyt of them already have one now. Euro Oleson 28/1 Wattel - 66/1 Mannessero - 80/1 PGA Ryan Moore - 28/1 Ryan Palmer - 33/1 Matt Every - 35/1 All 50p e/w doubles Posted by FlashFlush
Interesting to see you have gone for Mannessaro, I know I will have to back a third or even 4th player this week and Mannessero is very much on my short list, I might just cross the others off my list now and plump for young Matteo.
Granted he isn't in the best form of his life. But this time last year, or 2 years ago, he would be around 30/1. He has a fantastic short game, and is just trying to bulk up and get the distance. He has already had a T10 this year, and has won 4 times on tour. Even if it's a top 5 that's still 20/1!
Yeah 80/1 is a bit confusing to me. Granted he isn't in the best form of his life. But this time last year, or 2 years ago, he would be around 30/1. He has a fantastic short game, and is just trying to bulk up and get the distance. He has already had a T10 this year, and has won 4 times on tour. Even if it's a top 5 that's still 20/1!

Manassero is 120 on BF, have put at £2 back at 150, hopefully it'll get matched b4 the off, if not i'll take ~120 or whatever the price is b4 he tees off. Hopefully he'll have a good start and I can green up.
Rory is currently @ 4.6. Will see if I can get a lay matched at 4.0 b4 the off.
Most of my work will be done in rds3 and 4 where I will lay potential chokers.
I know I know.... U are gonna say VERY VERY boring.. But it's Rory's to lose this week. So it's a footy acca Tues night for me, last leg being Rory @ 7/2. I'm also having a good wedge on Olesen @ 14/1 ew WITHOUT the big 3 with Sky Bet. If any firm bet without just Rory, I'll have a look at that too (if 20/1 or bigger). Posted by joesman1
My footy acca is Man U QPR Derby Brentford.. Then all on Rory... Works out 20/1 ish....

Stick it all on Tiger at double the odds, is Rory really twice the player Tiger is?

Nice one, you'd think Rory must go very close this week.

Lol, sorry yes I know you are a jammy *******!
I was watching Gillette soccer Tuesday or whatever they call it when it's not a Saturday.
I though at the time when they got it to 2-2, it was a great come back, I wish I'd seen your bet earlier I'd have appreciated the comeback even more.
It's a bit of karma back for your acca that went down, when Zach Johnson chipped in on the last and then did Tiger in the play off

Wow Darty some memory u have Sir!!!
Thanks btw..... I'd just started to forget jumping up and down when zach put his approach into the drink, then watching in horror as he holed from the drop zone, then gasping for air as Tiger missed from less range than the one he gave Molinari to win a The Ryder Cup!!!! Ffs that was some roller coaster.....and the worst I've ever felt when a good bet hasn't come in.
Dubai Desert Thorbjorn Olesen - 30/1, as per my earlier post, Olesen gets my support for the season from here on in and I'm hoping he starts with a win this week. The form suggests he must go close, tied 3rd last week, 3rd here last year, also has 2 top 10's in Abu Dhabi, so is clearly comfortable to conditions at the Desert Swing. Hardly surprising that he has now based in himself in Dubai and it is reported that he has been putting in some serious practice sessions out in Dubai. Romain Wattel - 66/1, not at the level of Olesen, but Wattel also has some decent recent form and above average results here and in the region, I don't expect he will be 66/1 for long, so I've waded in early, to secure the value. I will probably add to the portfolio, but for me Olesen and Wattel are the two stand out value picks in the early markets. Good Luck All! Posted by TheDart
Got that bit right, Wattel is now a best priced 50/1. Now if I can just get the bit right about him finishing top 5, I'll be laughing
Decided to back Wattel in the first round leader market, ew at 55/1 along with Matteo Manassero 66/1, Danny Willett at 80/1 and Matthew Baldwin at 125/1.

Was going to go with Palmer but odds are too short. He is about 10th favourite overall but 3rd fav for frl which I found strange.
