Local has Annika:

If your going to play this, you have to take +3.75 or don't play.

Estes 28/1 Sportingbet. Good Texas form and accuracy is his main strength.

Triplett 66/1 Sportingodds. Massive price that didn't last long. 3 top tens in his last 5 events.

Flesch 40/1. Should be more relaxed after he finally broke through. Top 10 here last year.

Between Green Bay and Iowa City
Annika Sorenstam to Miss Cut(-400) for 1* @ Bet365
It's like the Super Bowl - no bet is not an option. I don't expect to find a better price than this after the buzz from any practice rounds or the pro-am, and I don't think any of the few matchups or propositions on specific scores I had available to me offered any better value. Will likely add a little breakdown before Thursday. These guys are good.

1st rd props
annika to shoot over 75.5 +100
annika to shoot under 76.5 -125

I think 76 is a very live # to middle and apparently so do the books. Will risk a little juice on one side for opt on double banger.

Note.Oly has since reversed odds but the above was line 1st dropped

small ew Fred Funk for me...80/1 PPower
sort of in form, sort of good course form, Sky go 40/1 and are getting 13% in frame when shortest or equal shortest in Racing Post.
Others they duck are Toms, Furyk, Verplank, Appleby, Beem. Not a bad team to have playing for you here!

Freak me out Steved! Just getting ready to post outright and now see yours Maybe good karma:)

Will opt for one outright prior to start and again hope to catch a gun lagging 1st 2 rds in running.

Funk 15/1 to place @ ******
Great odds for fellow who ranked in top 5 of players with best place (top 5) break even odds last year at 4.8 with 6 top 5's. Granted this years form not as good but has one top 5 to credit and 2 top 5's on this course which keys on accurracy not length.
Had considered Tripp also but best place I could find was 8/1 so opted for funk.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
adding 1st rd prop @ Boyles
Annika -120 to finish 73 rd or worse 1st rd.

Had some pretty nasty 1st rd weather here last year and only 25 players shot 74 or worse with 15 of those shooting 74.Of 73 that made cut there were only two 74's in 1st rd..

I am thinking that 74 would be excellent score for annika considering the lpga was played here in 91 with course playing 71 (add a stroke) instead of 72 and played bout 750 yards shorter with softer greens (I hope) and avemeg scor was 76+ with only mallon busting par @ 1 under. Tack on the added pressure.

Weather update here from Fort Worth. Work at a near by country club about seven miles from Colonial or so. Rained hard on Tuesday. From early in the morning to after lunch or so. The golf course will not play as fast as it had been playing. Would be real suprised if she makes the cut. Golf course will play harder for her wet than it would dry and fast. One player I will be interested in watching this week is Jeff Sluman. Last week at the Nelson I had the chance to fore caddie in his group on wed through the North Texas PGA. He struck the ball real well , but did not find the touch with his putter. I was not suprised to see him leading after day one. Colonial should set up good for Jeff and he is excited to be playing well. Forecast for the rest of the week calls for a chance for rain and thunderstorms. Well keep you posted on any other weather or local news. Good Luck Guys. Always love reading the post on this forum.

good luck

2:45 and it is still raining. One of those days where it just rains steady all day. ;)

Friend of mine followed Sorenstam in her pro am today for nine holes. She birded one , six, and nine and the rest were all pars. Said she was hitting it good, but was hitting a lot of seven woods.
Still not sure if she has a chance. Will keep weather updates comming. :D

Was on the course today

Was on the course today

Here is what I posed at Big Lous place:

Once the rain started it never stopped. The Pro-Am was called around 4:00. Annika finished 10 and she was 1 over. I watched her, along with 3,000 of her closest friends, play 1-6. She made par at one, lipped out at 2 made par, par at 3(damn good par), chipped in at 4 for birdie (short of green, par 3 playing 240 today), gave it right back at 5. Couldn't get up and down from the bunker. Stuck it within 5 feet at 6. Missed it but did hit the hole. Tried to watch her tee off at 7, couldn't. The crowd was unreal, Tiger had one like this but it was during the tourney.

Right now, I'm thinking she will shoot under 75.5 and maybe make the cut. Under 75.5 will not get her the cut but, Hey I'm ahead, so it's time to double down. By no means will this be any more than .50. Just want to watch, it will be like being at the horse races, only there's only one filly.

There were a lot of wet t-shirts and the margaritas were good. Today was for fun, tomorrow it's for real. No more rain, please.

I took the under 60/50 and what the hell, she makes it 50/150.

Outright plays (1 unit):

Jim Furyk to win 14/1 e.w. @ Bet365, Sportingbet, Sporting Odds, UKBetting and BetDirect
Very consistent form and has finished in the top-10 in three of
last six years. Is due a win.

Scott Verplank to win 22/1 e.w. @ Sportingbet, Sporting Odds and Victor Chandler (23/1 Five Dimes with 1/5 1-2-3-4-5)
Impressive bounce-back last week after collapsing from lead in New Orleans. Solid course form and should improve on it given his current form.

Bob Estes to win 28/1 e.w. @ BetInternet, Stan James and Five Dimes
Also very consistent this year and did finish in the top-10 in 1999 and 2000. Completes a trio of players who have come very close to winning this year.

No time for matchup plays this week other than Sorenstam to make the cut +355 @ Pinnacle (2 units)
