Buick Open

- Start date
I was hoping for more. You hold back, and study and watch, and then the opportunities and the excitement pass on by. As a very small for instance, my Appleby strategy definitely included searching for a way to ride him today in some way if Friday was a bust. So it goes.
Late in posting (I figured the matchups would be extended and supplemented) but I made the play earlier for 1* @ 5 dimes:
Kuehne(-118) over Damron
That's full of contrasts. Chasing Patrick Damron vs. leading Kelli Kuehne is somewhere in that mix.

Estes/Kelly WON by 6
DiMarco/Sutherland WON by 3
Browne/Byrum WON by 4
4th round plays (1 unit):
Stuart Appleby to beat Scott McCarron -115 @ Five Dimes
Brian Henninger to beat Thomas Levet -115 @ Five Dimes
Estes/Kelly WON by 6

4th round at bet365
Singh +100 over Daly/Sutton
Furyk -150 over Lancaster/Paulson
Daly ranks dead last in 4th round avg. Singh over Sutton even to me is a pretty good bet. Big price on Furyk but wonder if either of the other two will be able to play under the pressure of having a chance to win the tournament.

Sunday:
Appleby(-115) over McCarron for 1* @ 5 dimes
(I was hoping for more.
But my next choice was Furyk(-115) over Perry, and that only rates a small play.)

If I had spent a decent amount of time looking at the Champions Tour this week and followed my usual routines, instead of squeezing in twenty minutes on Friday morning, I would like to think I would have asked myself why I was picking up a winning marker on D.A. Weibring when he was a 25/1 candidate for rebounding from his Sunday collapse at Turnberry, and also asked why locally connected Allen Doyle was available at a juicy 20/1. Similarly, I became focused on the European matchups last night and was cursory at best with the outrights instead of breaking down the 16/1 price on Robert Karlsson, who has been impressing me all week on television.
The golf tours (or football in the fall) do not receive equal amounts of devotion each week. Last weekend I was helping my cousin move, but I believe I would have been on Chris Riley after his 65 on Friday if I had made it to a computer and found out I could have gotten 50/1 or better (not on any evidence, just instinct). Yesterday, I listened to Allen Doyle proudly discuss the fact that his daughter was medalist in her U.S. Women's Amateur qualifier, and I watched Bob Gilder look like a man with issues over the back nine. Hmmm.
I was more than a little grumpy over my "lost" writeups from prior to The Open, and the No. 1 point I had worked on making was exactly this: When I am involved and paying attention, so many of my strongest impressions come from what I see and hear after the event is underway, with an exception to prove the rule, and therefore I need to be judicious at the start so I can justify in-running plays accordingly. (Plus a mixed bag of some other stuff that was generally not quite so on the mark.)
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Stan, your early post on Furyk immediately struck me as dead on and brilliant, and then I did nothing with it. I hope you are rewarded today, and I hope everyone else was a little more on the ball. Another week, another pity. LOL

Do you think the PGA/CBS will take any SH*T for having a taped show. Is this the Senior Tour?

Profitable event thanks to Mr. Furyk again! The other outright had been on the fringes of contention for a top-5 place all week, but would have had too much ground to make up in Sunday had they come close. A better week with the 18-hole plays, but I can't see these being continued ... even if they were to become profitable, the return would hardly justify the effort.
