[DOGS THAT BARK]

What about it Big M. Saw in other thread your calling it a season??----and be back 2003????
I remember you said something bout moving prior.
I see ole double D is sitting at 120th after 1st rd
He has been a virtual annuity. Shame they dumped the miss the cut props on him at wesx mid season. For the life of me I can't figure how they have him top in top 5 outrights odds each week.
When you rank 4th in birdies and score as bad as he does you have very bad driver.
Have never played indexes but have been tempted to get some tips on it from mates here especially if they line him pro rata to outrights.
Keep us informed on where your headed and you better stop in before 2003 you rascal.You hear!!!!

Cheers DTB & Stan. My plans have a changed a little and am now heading to NYC for work this Sunday. Gunna be starting earlier than expected thus I won't have a chance to see the rest of the Euro season. Lookout Uncle Sam, the Monarch's coming to town........ .

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

OH NO Not NYC. The armpit of the nation.:lol: When your up to your butt in snow and freezing and need a break give me a call and I'll meet you in sunny Fla for a few rds on the house.
Shoot me an email when you get settled in.I'll give you toll free# and we'll shoot the shit !

 

[Monarch]

LMAO . Sounds like fun DTB. Will keep u posted. Sunny Florida's looking good already compared to the non-stop rain England is getting right now. Surely it doesn't get that cold in NYC, right? Public transport's a bitch in the snow. Gunna have to get me a Yankee truck.

Does anyone know if Scott Verplank has withdrawn from the tourney. I cannot see his name anymore and he was -3 in the first round.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Appears he did not start 2nd rd as his scorecard is blank and Clark and Lowery are on 3rd hole.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

At the cut: 2-1
all 72 holes decided at cut, were no 1st or 2nd rd selections

Dimarco -110 over Duval loss
Toms -120 over Dimarco win
Janzen -110 over Mayfair win

Was afraid last year winner jinx would continue on Dimarco this week, was fortunate to hedge that one.

Outrights: Riley in top 5 ,Estes cut,rest mid pack.

Might look at some 3rd rd in early am.

 

[Myron]

I only made 1 bet this week at OLY $176.66 to win $2,000 on Mickelson. I just felt he was overdue. It looks good so far but he does have a tendency to f*ck up the 3rd round. If he is still there after 3 though, I believe he'll take it.

Mid-point update:

Verplank/Andrade LOST (Verplank withdrew "for personal reasons")
Verplank/McCarron LOST (ditto)
Faxon/Elkington WON by 4
Huston/Parry Trails by 4
Toms/Lowery WON by 9

Toms 5th
Love 55th
Appleby 41st

Decent tournament spoiled by Verplank's withdrawal. At the other two matchups that were decided at the cut were decided on the golf course. If Huston catches Parry, we could still find the matchups in profit. Hopeful of the same thing in the outrights. Appleby and Love are not that far behind on a congested leaderboard.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Sure seems ole Murph has hounded you with wrong end of WD's all year on this tour Stan. Fortunately I have about split.
I sure do like your chances on outrights in beards this week,especially after watching yesterday.
Been working on Breeders cup and tired of seeing same ole matches in each rd. Liked Perry over Perez @ 5dimes but have no luck on Perry regardless of what stand I take.

 

[bettingmad]

The rot continues.... looks like another lst time winner is going to fly in.

Final update:

Matchups: 3-2-0; +0.79 units

Huston/Parry Tied (Push)

Outrights: 1-2; -0.50 units

Toms 2nd
Love 16th
Appleby 33rd

So close to a great event ... for the 2nd time today. Toms shot a great 65 to push Jonathan Byrd all the way. He finished one shot behind which was quite an achievement with Byrd shooting 7-under-par in a 5-hole stretch on the back nine! Huston made a late bogey to surrender a victory against, but the push enabled it to be a (very marginally) profitable event in the end.

PGA Tour ytd
Matchups: 95-93; -29.31 units
Outrights: 20-89; +2.57 units

All Tours ytd
Matchups: 214-186; -0.21 units

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Finals No remaining matches

Matches week 2-1 ytd 277-265
units week +.9 ytd +8.59

outrights: Estes cut-Riley,Edwards and Funk finish mid pack.
Edwards +6 strokes out him at -21 still 6 off winning score.
units week -2.5 ytd +44.25

1st time since no rd by rd plays but do not care for these shoot outs where it takes 20 under to bust top dozen and am quite satisfied I avoided temptation

The past champion missing cut continued. I find that quite remarkable given his(Dimarco) form good(coming off top 5) and considering he had made 25 of 26 cuts till this week. NEVER under estimate the power of Murphy---and speaking of Murphy it appears he has climbed on with both feet ,Stan. WOW what bad beats in outrights on Pga and Euros!!! I was looking for another possible 4 tour sweep from ya.. Have they continued live coverage on the beards with late start? I am still getting it live if you want updates at the end.

 

[bettingmad]

Can we have this Byrd disqualified?

On the 7th his wayward tee shot hit his squeeze on the back and she stopped it going into the trees. He looked like making bogey but made a byrdy!

http://www.golfweek.com/articles/2002/pro/pga/30763.asp

He's got to go.... otherwise we will need stats on which player has the biggest family and so has the most people to line the edge of the rough.

He was obviously still on a high when holing putts of 40ft, 30ft, 18ft, 25ft and 40ft during a seven under spell on just 5 holes.

I say chuck him out.... or perhaps some generous bookmaker could pay out on the runner-up as well!! (yes I was on Toms).
