Thanks Guys, I actually didnt bet the Daly one :com: I had all of my money in thegreek and matchbook and was able to transfer it over to 5 dimes ( for golf lines) I had to chose 4 golf matchups ( at 5 dimes, not including the 2 matchups i had at the greek) and for some stupid reason i didnt bet the daly one :shrug: I posted it just becuz i liked it a lot and figured he would wd.. Oh well, Lets hope that Briny Baird play cashes :SIB

Nah man.. those 9 under rounds well get ya every time :scared
I took it basically becuz Calc looked awful last week. He was tryin different putting styles on each hole. Hopefully you got down on some of the other matchups.
Too be honest i had this capped at Calc missing the cut and will finishing in the 50's :com:
The last 5 out of 6 weeks ive had at least 1 matchup where i bet against a guy who has finished in the top 5
One round into the PODS Championship and Mark Calcavecchia already had his bags packed to go home.
He wasn't quitting. He was just being honest.
Calcavecchia had been in a major slump with his putter, so bad that he went through five clubs in five rounds. And when he took 36 putts in the opening round on his way to a 75, he figured this would be a short week.
"All I had sitting out was a pair of shorts and a T-shirt," he said. "I was ready for the fast exit."
Now he's poised for an incredible turnaround at Innisbrook.
He rarely hides his feelings, especially when it comes to his putter. He walked off the course one year at Loch Lomond and handed his putter to a young English lad who only wanted an autograph. Last week at the Honda Classic, he tried a broom-handle putter that he snapped over his knee midway through the second round.
"The good thing was it gave me two pieces to throw into the lake," he said.
PUTTERING AROUND: What's more amazing -- that Mark Calcavecchia took only 23 putts Friday in the PODS Championship, or that he was using a Ping putter that he bought himself.
Pros get free stuff all the time. Calc represents Ping.
''By the way, this is the sixth putter in six rounds,'' he said, the start of what resembled a standup routine. ''Paid $256.18 for it at a Bob Evans. No, not Bob Evans. What do you call that place? Edwin Watts. I ended up buying this, a Gators hat and a skirt for my honey.''
He paused to wink at his wife, Brenda, who was Brenda Nardecchia until she married Mark Calcavecchia.
''I couldn't make a putt from me to your head,'' he said as the monologue continued. ''That's 4 feet, 2 inches. Shotlink can verify that.''
Time for a quick question.
''Any chance Ping will get you a refund?''
''I called and asked,'' he said. ''They're checking on it.''
Calcavecchia was looking for a long putter, but the store only had about three of them and he didn't like any of the choices. Maybe it was a good thing. He tried one Sunday at The Honda Classic.
''Right when I bend over to stick a tee in the ground on the first hole, the wind starts blowing 40 mph. I'm there with his thing up to my chest. I almost whiffed one. Finally snapped it in half after the 16th I was so fed up. The good thing is that I now had two pieces I could throw in the lake. But I made some today. Maybe the curse is over.''
:shrug:
BTW is it the same slocum who finished dead last, last week in the lead this week. Damn gambling is tough :com:

Yea Jesper has had a ton of birdies ( tied for 8th) but also the 2 doubles in round 2 hurt.
BTW the jesper matchup that i put in was against JJ Henry. He is 3 strokes up currently :yup

Any particular reasoning for these? I have been following Kim the past few weeks closely. He got in contention last week and then a lot of loose swings came in. Im assuming your fading Calcs putting in the clutch. I was lookin for some 4th round action and not much caught my eye.
I've watched a big chunk of the coverage over 3 days, and done the ancillary folowing of scorecards/stats/media, and think I have a good enough feel for the unfolding Florida themes and PODS storylines to identify some Sunday plays.

Wow Arjun atwal invovled in a bad wreck.. racing his BMW over 100+ MPHs. Arjun lucky to survive but the guy he was racing died. :scared
The Golf Channel is reporting JP Hayes had to be rushed to the hospital for shortness of breathe.
I just took Ryan Moore (-103) over Rich Beem for the final round He looked pretty shaken over his buddy being sick
