everything is at the greek..Strongest bets are orbelhoser over love.. i got screwed with juice..austin over weekly ..stenson over sabbo
I also think appelby misses the cut and struggles here.
2 stats that might help out a lot.. are scrambling from the rough, and 3 putt avoidance
Agent why didnt you go to one of the open qualifiers.. :SIB

Here is how I have it laid out this week. Going to be super active on Wsex live betting. I will edit this post and add my plays later tonight, these are just my 'write ups' and rankings for now.
Group A
Vijay Singh: 16/1
Putting woes or not, VJ has 7 top 15 finishes in the 12 toughest tourneys of the year. 16-16 cuts made, 2 wins, 4 top 10?s and 11 top 25?s. 69.36 scoring avg. and t-14th in ball striking on tour. No one works harder, and few grind any harder than this guy.
Adam Scott: 22/1
EN FUEGO!! 10-10 cuts made, 1 win, 5 top 10?s, 6 top 25?s, 70.17 scoring avg. 20th in total driving and 8th in ball striking.
Phil Mickelson(?): 12/1
The guy still isn't hitting full shots and is walking around in a bandage. No thanks!
Tiger: 2.50/1
Duh!
Jim Furyk: 17/1
Short but dam accurate and a top 5 grinder. Will the "home" course feel hurt or hinder? Jimmy will be lurking all week.
Davis Love III: 175/1
Who? Yea that's right, DL just isn't getting the pub right now but he is a few putts away from a great year. He knows his window is closing, and I think he will have a great week. 12-14 cuts made, 2 top 10?s, 3 top 25?s, 71.18 scoring avg.
Sean Ohair: 70/1
# 1 on tour in total driving, 9-15 cuts made, 2 top 10?s (3 discounting the gay 17th hole at TPC), and 7 top 25?s. 70.10 scoring avg. 6th in ball striking.

when they moved it one birdie (9.5)was going to let the under ride but can't do it with 2 birdie middle--I never bet the overs in these except under these terms as missing cut is auto loss--and Scott prime candidate this week to my thinking.

To place top 5 Stricker 16/1 @ Cbet
Seem to have much better luck if I don't post these outrights--but here goes.
Last 10 years has played 8 of 10 Opens and only Woods-Mick-Singh-Els Harrington have better scoring ave in Open of active players--and Stricker now arguably playing his best golf.

Even if you're not a hard core fantasy golfer, if you follow the sport there's a good chance you participate in an office pool or online game geared exclusively to golf's four major tournaments. This week, it's off to Pennsylvania, where the world's best will battle not only each other, but also esteemed Oakmont Country Club - with it's plethora of bunkers and lightning-quick greens.
Yeah, you know about Tiger, Vijay, and Phil. You may even know Ernie Els won his first U.S. Open at Oakmont. But who are you going to take in the second and third round? Who is this year's Michael Campbell? Thankfully, the Fanball brain trust has done all the work for you. Every week of the fantasy golf season, golf guru Christian Peterson throws darts, flips coins, analyzes past results, and pores over current trends, course history, and complicated mathematical formulas to come up with our Weekly Player Rankings.
As with all the majors, for the U.S. Open we've expanded our rankings to include the top 50 golfers entered into the event, with commentary for each and every one.

OAKMONT, Pa. ? Phil Mickelson said his recovery from an injured left wrist has been slower and more painful than he expected, but he'll do his best to complete four rounds of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
Mickelson wore a black sleeve around his wrist as he sat for a press conference after working for 20-30 minutes on the driving range and playing nine holes. It was the first time he'd hit shots on the course since he arrived Saturday. He said it's unlikely he'll be able to play the tournament pain-free, as he'd hoped, and he said he's even felt pain in his right wrist, which he was overusing to compensate for the injury. He's been icing both wrists, and he's even avoiding signing autographs (he signs right-handed), which conveys the seriousness of the situation for the Tour's most prolific autograph dispenser.
"I would probably like to have one more week before we started this event," Mickelson said, "but I'll be as ready as I can be on Thursday."
(Click here to see pictures from Phil's practice round.)
He added in jest that he'd floated to the U.S.G.A. the idea of bumping the tournament back, to no avail.
Mickelson, a favorite to win the Open two weeks ago before he pulled up lame in the first round of the Memorial, said he'd twice tried to play since the injury, stopping both times because of pain. Once was at home in Southern California last Tuesday; once was with his new coach Butch Harmon in Las Vegas last Friday. Two doctors gave him the same diagnosis, inflammation, and he's taken a cortisone shot, which he said seemed to be working. Still, he's limited his early work at Oakmont mostly to chipping and putting. He hit full shots on the driving range for about a half hour Monday, and he has been receiving treatment from the energy healer Jim Weathers. The two are doing energy work and even "light therapy" to "stimulate cell a"This should not be a long-term problem if I don't aggravate the inflammation," he said, "and this unfortunately isn't the best week for that given my driving history."
Like last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot, the driver is Mickelson's most problematic club. It provides maximum energy transfer from face to ball, which sends vibrations shooting up Mickelson's inflamed left wrist. It is also, he joked, the club most likely to leave him stuck in the rough, where the wrist will be most vulnerable. Mickelson said he'll most likely use a hybrid club, which slides through the rough, rather than a wedge, which would dig into it, potentially aggravating his inflammation. He did not try to play shots from the rough Tuesday.
It was in the rough that Mickelson believes he first injured his wrist. He came to Oakmont on an early scouting trip before the Memorial and hit too many shots from the long grass. It wasn't one specific swing that caused the trouble, he said, but the cumulative effect of so much practice. What he didn't realize was that the course was set up considerably harder than it would be for the tournament.
"I will say the rough is half or a third what it was when I got injured," he said, yet another tactical error for the world's second-ranked player at the tournament that's vexed him more than any other. A four-time U.S. Open runner-up, Mickelson had injured himself practicing for a situation he would not have to face.
The man who was on such a high after winning the Players Championship a month ago, whose upside seemed limitless under the tutelage of Harmon, has gone from pre-tournament favorite to a guy just hoping to get around Oakmont in one piece. This time Mickelson may have done himself in not on the 72nd hole but before hitting a shot on the first.
Members of the press were too kind to bring up his famous line of a year ago at Winged Foot: "I am such an idiot."
ctivity" in the affected area, Mickelson said

Montgomerie didn't have time to arrange for another caddie, so he hired one from Oakmont.
The looper for the week is Bill Goddard, who has been at Oakmont for 49 years and caddied for Miller Barber in 1973. Barber was paired in the final round with Johnny Miller, who shot 63 to win the U.S. Open.
