Agree on Drummond - took the 250/1 way before Ladbrokes came out with that price - should go well on this links course.

Also had some money down on Pablo Martin and Alejandro Canizares - two great college players - could well pull off a surprise here.

Paul McGinley(20/1) e.w
- - A parlay with Sergio, but this half feels far more chancy . . . With the Ryder Cup now front and center, he can also carry my cash ahead of quite a few, his miss/hit/miss performances on GB&I links courses not much different from his general trends . . . Also missing Hilversumsche, at least for the capping; a new venue makes it hard to justify more than four selections, and I still haven't refined my choices here to that standard.

Adding:

Soren Kjeldsen(60/1) e.w.
Peter Lawrie(66/1) e.w.
Christian L. Nilsson(125/1) e.w.

In-running:

Markus Brier(10/1)(1/4 for 1-2-3-4) e.w. @ Bet365

In a bit I'll have time to EDIT on a bit of reasoning.

EDIT:

a new venue makes it hard to justify more than four selections, and I still haven't refined my choices here to that standard.

Brier(66/1) was probably higher than my 5th choice - he was just the one that was dropped for precisely the reason stated - just a saver, instead.

The course looked a great fit yesterday, and Brier looked crisp and confident. Most importantly, it looked like Brier found the course a pleasure throughout.

I intentionally saved an in-running opportunity, not planning to force anything if it wasn't there, and even though I think the 1 in 10 odds are fair (and wished I had taken the 12/1), and wasn't expecting Brier would be the ultimate champion, I pulled the trigger because I was pretty sure I was not going to find something I preferred going forward.

(+2 through 2 = some quality shots needed)
