- Thread starter Ian
- Start date
Ian, I tried looking around for about 20mins and came up with very little. I couldn't find hardly anything on the 91'US Open which I presume a lot of books are basing the price on. I just think with the length of holes 196, 178, 204, 182 with the best field of the yr playing bodes well. Last yr at AAC we got at least 3 on 227,207,204,183. Bethpage Black got 3 also while Augusta/The Open I believe had none. I think we'll see at least 2 this week 
.
.Cheers - worth a little on at 13/5 for an interest
Also - anyone got a good weather forecast for tomorrow?

72-Hole Matchups cont.:
Harrington v Singh 5/6 @ Hills 3 Units.
3 t-10s already in the majors this yr for Padraig. Last 6 go 11/8/6/2/5/3. I expect the usual mixed bag from him again but another strong challenge looks likely. Singh has been really flat since his win earlier in the yr and will likely struggle to break the t-20 this week.
Weir v Janzen 9/10 @ Bet365 2 Units.
Stanley has this one covered.
Stricker v Maggert 9/10 @ Tote 2 Units.
Stricker to win the 98'USPGA was my 1st ever bet so I kind of still have a love/hate relationship with him. I think he's picked his game up a lot this yr and with 5 solid cuts made in a row should stretch to 6 this week. Maggert has MCd last 3 at PGA and 2/4 current.

Kuchar -110 over Daly
You always have a shot fading Daly
Baird -120 over Sutton
Sutton plauged with sleep disorder and now bad back.Has made only 8 cuts in 20 attemps this year,Baird has only missed 6 cuts in 23 events. I'll look even @ -120

A couple of small plays on day 1
Watson at 8/1 to beat Mickelson and Norman in their 3 ball at the Tote - I cannot see why he should be that big a price.
Hoch to shoot under par in round 1 at 2/1 Centrebet (+ a small cover on the par score at 8/1)

here is BBC Sports weather link...does not augur well for those (well me anyway) hoping for wind...perhaps Hazeltine has it's own 'windy' micro climate!..Also not sure where weather station they are using is, only says Minneapolis

perhaps lostinamerica can advise when he gets back from his round!

1st rd 0-3
Omeara -110 over Norman loss
Toms -110 over Goosen loss
Haas +105 over Weir loss
Not sure it would have made difference if weather had not flopped T-Times
Bad judgement not considering impact of Toms being paired with Els and Woods
Got a few 3rd rds.Got 2 I am opposing with good ballstrikers which should be premium in anticipated wind.
Leonard -110 vs Calc @ $plays
Funk +100 vs Calc @ $plays
Maruyama +100 vs Duval @ $plays
Love -125 vs Duval @ 5dimes
Bad break on Duval missing cut prop Monarch. He ran in 18 footer for par last hole. I was in there with you

Had a couple of bets in-running with books who were slow to react so will now be cheering on Allenby (80/1) Coceres (125/1) as well as Riley to be top US - Appleby needs a good 3rd round and Hoch was very poor.
The one annoying bet was the Watson 3 ball - they didn't go 8/1 for the 2nd round which he won

It's looking like conditions could be getting fairly nasty in the afternoon. I wonder if we'll see some Open style blowouts. Could leave things wide open going into Sun.
Not typical PGA weather, not hot and very windy. Weather forecast is for a pretty terrible day with high winds 180 degrees different from rest of the week so the course could play very difficult.
http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/55318
Looking for good wind players then, and I think pretty much anyone in the field with a good round could get right up there for tomorrow. Campbell at 92, Langer at 84 and Allenby at 68 at Betfair all look attractive as they could handle it well. May be worth backing them with a view to laying off at the end of the day.
From the Americans I am happy to be on Funk still as I think he could cope quite well with his accuracy (no 1 on the tour), though finishing off round two solidly is going to be important. Leonard as well looks like a solid pick. I am going to oppose Woods as with the unpredictability of the weather 2-1 seems a little generous.
One other thing, if it really plays hard in the morning then there is just a chance that the cut could move to 5 over bringing a few more good wind players back in (lawrie, Clarke, Price etc), unlikely but you never know.

-lostinamerica says "Hey"
-Gray and cool and blustery here in the suburbs
-Tee times pushed back this morning with all the rain from last nights storm cell?
-No lines available to me at the moment to reach back in the field and grab a longshot
-I'm late in America about now.

Mid-point update:
Leonard/Calcavecchia All Square
Funk/Choi WON by 11
Lehman/Elkington Leads by 4
Weir/Janzen Trails by 1
Lonard/Lowery All Square
Love/Sluman All Square
Verplank/McCarron LOST by 5
Harrington 23rd
Love 27th
Price mc
Tournament situation very much in the balance. Matchups are all very close, but Harrington and Love have at least six shots to make up on the leaders if they are to secure that top-5 place.

-While Goosen was starting his preshot routine from a just in the right rough to the water guarded 6th hole, the gust of the day that I felt in my face came up. It sent Funk scurrying back up the fairway after his cap, and Goosen back to his bag for a second time. A big bailout to the right disgusted Goosen and surprised no one. Beem was in the next group, and his perfect strike from out of the trees with ?41, 60 to the pin? (i.e., 141 and 160), from a clean lie (about 6 feet from my tennis shoes) was picture perfect, but there was no comparison to the challenge Goosen had just faced.
-The only place where we parked for 90 minutes (and were soon positioned on the front row at the ideal spot, except for standing on a sidehill) brought us a lovely little run of birdies at #15 (although the guys carrying my money, Norman and Lonard, both made bogies). Leonard stayed focused through the blast off of Tiger?s par down on #16 to convert his opportunity on #15, and he then went on to make his own noise on #16. Too bad it wasn?t Sunday.
-If the wind lays down completely, the course is now receptive enough for some low starts by the folks starting too far back. Putts can be holed on these true rolling and readable surfaces. Even the wet rough inside the ropes was well trampled today by the marshals and traveling entourages, so that the tough lies were being found just off the fairways and in some areas off the greens.
-The action was too fast and furious with threesomes off both #1 and #10. The Saturday finish to the 2nd round meant that pairing sheets were not being circulated until the leaders had less than 9 holes to play, and I doubt if 500 out of 40,000 people took the time to copy down the pairings posted in the clubhouse areas. Add in a fair amount of sidehill slop, strong winds and uncertainty over what clothes to wear, and it was a fairly difficult day for the spectators. I had a blast, but now a couple of more hours rest will be sweet.
Sunday Matchups at 5dimes for 1*:
Leonard(-115) over Goosen
Justin has earned my money.
Rose(-115) over Campbell
The putter still appears a little bulky, but Justin is playing well and still playing for a lot and thoroughly enjoying the moment.
It's the PGA Championship, and I'm here. I'll add those two to these three in a parlay for 0.5* to win 11.28*:
Riley(-113) over Mediate
Lowery(-105) over Allenby
Norman(-120) over Flesch

I'm taking a shot at Leonard over Woods and also Singh over Garcia. Good Luck to all. Got to get ready to head to the course to play a round and drink a round or two.:toast:

Found a couple that look enticing....
1. Leonard over Beem [-150] - pretty steep, but Leonard is swing well.
2. Howell +100 over Appleby - Howell is due to have a break-out round, isn't he???
3. Calcavechia +140 over Beem - I could not believe this line, and jumped on Calc, even though I am not a Calc fan...Beem was -170!!! by the way...
4. Harrington +125 over Els - why not?
5. Furyk +115 over Goosen - going with one more dog...
Leans: Singh +115 over Els
Cabrera +125 over Lehman
Most of these lines at at Olympic. 5-Dimes has relatively terrible lines...Sport Odds of Australia posts their odds in a way I have yet to understand, but I seem to do well there...
Any opinions on good golf books appreciated...
Good Luck...
