For some reason JT caught my eye as well. I have zero to back it other than I can see him wearing a gold metal.

Si Woo Kim(45/1) e.w.
Viktor Hovland(11/1) e.w.
Guido Migliozi(55/1) e.w.
- - With only about 3 of the Top 10 and 15 of the Top 40 players in the WGR in the field, any type of leaderboard at an Asian site after shallow on-site prep would really not surprise me. Also, the absence of fans in a metropolitan area of 37 million might give a spooky vibe to the proceedings, and could well favor some outsiders possessed of a lifelong passion for Olympic champions to generate their own energy . . . To the extent it might be helpful, my speculation on a comparable course would be Quail Hollow . . . I like the intangibles of Cameron Smith in this specific spot about as well as anyone . . . I have been wagering on Shane Lowry having a big moment this year at about every big opportunity, and this will be no exception . . . I would be bereft if Jazz Janewattananond came through with a big effort and I didn?t have a wager on him . . . Even without massive crowds, I simply don?t like the circumstances of Sunjae Im being paired with McIlroy and Morikawa the first two days, so that even if he emerges in a strong position, he faces two even more stressful days to get to the podium. I much prefer the prospects of Si Woo Kim emerging in a position of strength for the weekend after two days with a much more low key pairing . . . Norwegians are passionate about the Olympics, or so I?ve heard . . . Guido Migliozi is just for the heck of it.

What the Olympic golf scene looks (and sounds) like when players have time to kill

. . . Justin Thomas motored into the clubhouse for a bathroom break. He was the pace car, really, in the race to the air conditioning.
The heat index had swelled into the mid-90s, so those 32 tables and 132 chairs were in high demand. There might only be 60 players in the field, but that also means 60 caddies and dozens of team managers and physios. There were also female competitors (prepping for the women?s event next week) and their caddies hanging out. A dozen women had been practicing on the driving range when the horn blew, but now they were part of golf?s little game of musical chairs, too.
Not five minutes had passed before every seat in the clubhouse was occupied. Well, there was one available in the middle of the room next to . . . For those worried about Covid protocols, just know that plexiglass separated every seat at every table, and a clubhouse attendant walked around passing out fresh masks . . .

I know many will shake their head and say there no value there. There will be value if he wins.
Winner :
Xander +125 *****

Agreed Boomer. I am on him to beat Casey in the final round. Played it fairly large. Hope he wins the gold.:0074
Thanks Steve. Shaky back 9, the 13th easy par 5 he almost missed the golf course with his drive and like you say bad drive off 18 and had to save par with a 6-8 foot par put. I?ll take it.
Stat of the Day:
Tiger Woods has won 22.5% of his PGA Tour starts (82 of 365).
Annika Sorenstam has won 23.4% of her LPGA Tour starts (72 of 307 + 1).
I did not think that was even a possibility.
