Have backed 2 antepost at prices I don't expect to be there come Thursday - Appleby 100/1 and Hoch 80/1 - still doing the research and there might be a few more before the nights out.

You will have to be quick if you are adding more....
"the other 3 tours I will only bet on once the tournament has started with the exception of Major tournaments - which will be bet antepost"
... it's not antepost after the Buick Open has finished, don't forget your willpower....
Steve Elkington will win this week. He looked fitter when he nearly took The Open and is a previous US PGA winner as well as 2 x 3rds. He is 100/1 at Victor Chandler but missing from several other lists so I'm hopeful of a little more.... anybody seen better? (...if you have tell me here.... don't take it all yourself!!! or doubters can lay me 160 at betfair)

Straight into action this week. I am going in strong on Mike Weir. Essentially he has been out of form, but he is a big player who seems to come into winning form from here on in. All his wins have been in the latter stages of the year. He at least made the cut last week and he is a player that can suddenly find his form.
He has a good record in this championship also. I will be looking to add Jim Furyk as a saver. He looked better on sunday and he is due a good major. He has been struggling of late but I expect him to come good here. Both players to be backed each way.

Clive,
No it wasn't me but I would have liked a piece of that.... bet you snaffled it all yourself!!
Still searching for 100+....

72-Hole Matchups:
Love v Duval 9/10 @ Ladbrokes 4 Units.
Duval may have a steady record in this event but based on current form/problems must be opposed. Love in current form looks like a genuine contender this week and should post at least a t-15 place. He's certainly due this yr and feel the USPGA will always be his best chance of major success.

Clive,
I thought you were having me on with that 200/1... was very disappointed I missed it when I saw him slotted in between a 200/1 and 250/1... hope the fiend who got it will lay me something at betfair.... have managed a little 160 there so far

Steve Lowery 150/1 Victor Chandler
Doesn't win too often (last was Southern Farm in 2000) but a place would be nice at this price. No reason to believe he can't do it either with a 3rd place in this last year and two recent runner-up spots in Milwaukee and the Sprint International.

Don't fancy Lawrie again this week - his shoes will still be soaking after Celtic Manor
But seriously, it's hard to see past 16s for Els, and I would add Elkington at 33s top ROW e/w at Hills.
In match ups I like Love against Duval as well Monarch, and also Els to beat Mickelson at paddypower

couple eary 72 holes
Omeara +100 over Norman @ Cascade
Toms +105 over Singh @ $plays
Monarch I envy that wager. 1st thing I look for every week is who they got vs Duval. All I got at 2 outs up so far is Duval/Monty,It will soon be the likes of Willis LOL. Will be curious is WSEX puts him in miss the cut props.They used to line him @ around +340 and got their nads burnt as he missed 2 out of 3 majors and 5 of last 6 starts.

as expected, 0.5 ew Padraig at 50/1 2 weeks ago...not sure even 33 is value now...
1 ew Appleby 80/1 (Chandler)..good link from DTB about course/weather...hoping for wind..otherwise pitch and putt contest..
I get nervous backing Appleby without backing Allenby, as they are such close friends, so will save with 0.5 ew Allenby 100/1 (Paddy Power)
1 ew Els 16/1 UK Betting...cannot get away from him...as low as 10/1 elsewhere
I have not backed an American, so will pick one later...perhaps..

I'm liking Allenby aswell this week steved. I think he's got the major mentality and truly believes he's gunna win one soon. Could do another 100/1 Toms. Last yrs prices were so much more appealing. I think the field started at 25/1.
---------------------
DTB, do u have an account with William Hill cos they have Love/Duval aswell. Most books seem to have him paired with Singh.

Outright plays (1 unit):
Padraig Harrington to finish in the top-five 15/2 @ Five Dimes
Tiger may have had some problems with his swing over the weekend while winning the Buick Open, but sticking with place-only wagers on these three as they are not exactly prolific winners anyway. Harrington's ability to avoid victory is famous: three victories in the last 36 months is more than matched by 14 runners-up spots over the same period and a Sunday disqualification when having a very large lead. His record in this event is not impressive, but he has improved considerably when he has played in the U.S., finishing 8th, 5th, 8th in his last three events across the pond, including two of the majors. In fact, his record in this year's majors is typically consistent: Masters - 5th; U.S. Open - 8th; British Open - 5th. Top-3 in his last start (Dutch Open), he looks a decent price to be a top-5 finisher.
Davis Love to finish in the top-five 8/1 @ Five Dimes
Love is probably the one most likely to win of the three selections, but his last victory was via a final-round charge in the 2001 AT&T Pebble Beach Challenge. He was the first-round leader in the Masters, but slipped back to finish 14th. He finished 24th in the U.S. Open and 14th in the British Open, so his 2002 majors form is impressive, while he also finished 2nd twice between the U.S. and British Opens. A top-5 position is certainly within his abilities, though a repeat of his 1997 victory is rather unlikely.
Nick Price to finish in the top-five 8/1 @ Five Dimes
The most recent winner of the three - the MasterCard Colonial in May - and a two-time winner of this event (1992, 1994), Price is more akin to Harrington than Love. A very consistent player whose 34th place finish in the St. Jude Classic in June is his only finish outside the top-20 since his season-opening event in Scottsdale. He was supposed to struggle with the extremely long Bethpage Black at the U.S. Open, but still finished 8th, so this week's course should not be too daunting for him and it is hard to see anything but a strong performance from Price.
