THIS IS JUST A QUICK PLEA-
DO NOT EMAIL ESPN ASKING QUESTIONS THEIR COVERAGE IS PISS POOR AT BEST ALREADY
(yes I know its in capitals)

 

[ZigZag]

Ahhhh beautiful

Tiger is in every damn bush on the course and Els is leading.

Feeling solid about my play. He picks the one week I play him to hack it up and to top it off his opp is the leader hahahah.

ZZ
Patience
Golf is a 4 day event
Treat each day as a quarter in NFL
If you are worried look at Olys continuation plays tomorrow

 

[Ian]

Can I just make another point -
I just heard our commentator on Sky Sports say "apologies it is not our fault but we are plumbing new depths at apalling coverage"
and I have to agree with his despair, and it just confirms my feeling that sometimes in the US the sports element is lost and commercialism takes over

2nd round update: 1-1-1 and -1.00 units

Up in all three for virtually the whole, a bit galling to end the day with a loss. DiMarco failed to take advantage of the closing par-fives and it let Cink catch and overtake him by two shots. Leonard rediscovered his game in the middle of the back nine and secured a push, while at least Mediate was good enough to break 70 and beat Paulson by three.


3rd round plays:

Robert Allenby to beat Brad Faxon -110 @ Five Dimes
Scott Verplank to beat Paul Azinger +105 @ Five Dimes
David Duval to beat David Toms -170 @ Five Dimes
Steve Lowery to beat Duffy Waldorf +105 @ Five Dimes
Jesper Parnevik to beat David Toms +110 @ Victor Chandler

 

[ZigZag]

Thought the Tiger was dead until Els fell apart. Still got a shot.

Zinger hanging in there.

Whats up with Mickelson. He go there early and seemed very prepared for this tourney.

Thought he'd play better myself.However as Stan pointed out earlier his stuff has not been that steller on islands.Of course if I had two weeks on island with his wife can't say I'd be up for golf,no pun intended.

 

[Ian]

3rd round update
Lehman trails Sutton by 1
Verplank trails Roberts by 4
Verplank trails Triplett by 6

The one person I would oppose in the final round is Mickelson who will probably lose interest, however most matchups will have him against playing partner Sutton who I will not support just in case his back goes

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

No plays today.
Lucky book $plays hasn't lined anything so I'll consider that an omen.
However if any of this crew need Singh to dump today I'll make small wager on him to help out

 

[Stanley]

3rd round update: 1-3-1 and -2.10 units

Three losing days out of three

Duval's 65 was the only win from the day as he beat Toms by two, but Allenby lost by two, Verplank by three and Parnevik by five though he had been at least tied with Toms for much of the day. Waldorf had been 3-over, but a good back nine secured a push against our pick, Steve Lowery. Forgettable event so far!


4th round plays:

Kirk Triplett to beat Michael Clark -120 @ Intertops [2 units]
Chris DiMarco to beat Brad Faxon +105 @ Five Dimes [2 units]
Vijay Singh to beat Ernie Els +100 @ Sportfanatik [2 units]
Justin Leonard to beat Jim Furyk +100 @ Carib


Been waiting on Moneyplays lines myself

Reassuring to know we're on the same side with Vijay, though with your stellar 2001 debut I don't think you'd jinx anyone's plays

 

[Ian]

Cannot see Sabbatini holding on to win and I have a feeling someone will come through from behind either Duval 20-1 or Weir 28-1.Anyone any thoughts?

 

[wannabe whale]

JMHO I think that Duval is too far back. 65 is the low score and you gotta figure that someone ahead of him is going to shoot 3-4 under if conditions are right. Toms had a nice round yesterday-but I might try Furyk-has been pretty consistent this week.
I rolled the dice with the 24 yr old and took
Sabbatini over Singh -110 for 2 units. I know that Sabb usually shoots a better third round score than final round-but for some reason I want to try his nerves so I will take the 2 stroke lead and hope for the best.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

I'm thinking Ernie recoups and comes out firing today.Keep thinking of his and Tigers battle last year which was awesome.

 

[Ian]

Glad I didn't bother wasting any more money on Weir or Duval
A disappointing tournament with all 3 match bets losing, all the more galling when I broke my own rule of not supporting/opposing the same player more than once ie: Verplank, especially one with no course form
All I can say is thank god for Laycock in Australia this week

 

[Stanley]

Final update: 1-3-0 and -3.30 units for the day; 5-9-2 and -3.30 units for the week

Very poor

Four losing day of four, an overall loss on the 72-hole matchups and no outright winners. The results: Triplett lost by one to Clark despite leading until the death, DiMarco beat Faxon by three, Singh lost by two to Els and Leonard lost by four to the winner, Jim Furyk.

The 72-hole picks finished 3-2-0, but this showed a loss. The results: Verplank/Triplett 9 down; Verplank/Sabbatini 16 down; Parnevik/Begay 12 up; Furyk/Lehman 15 up; Azinger/Begay 14 up.

Update on outright plays: 0-2 and -3.00 units

Not even close. Duval finished 7th and Woods 8th. Enough said. Need a decent Monday at the Tucson Open to avoid an opening week loss on the PGA Tour.


Ditto Ian! Great week by DTB though
