Between Green Bay and Iowa City
During the grueling Florida swing through Honda - PODS - Palmer, I noted the grind of those courses had slammed the brakes on the West Coast trend of players regulary getting right back in the mix in events one after the other, and was instead producing the classic strain of mental fatique that comes from being in contention and take's a real toll before spitting out poor candidates for the following week, while disappointing perfomances can be just the recipe for sharp form to prove it on the rebound. I'll be looking for lots of just that from both ends of the Wachovia field as they move on to The Players.


Outrights:

Padraig Harrington(40/1) e.w.
- - Heading into the Masters, I thought the arc of his career had him really primed and poised for "his time" as the European force in the biggest events, and coming out of Augusta I think that's the opportunity of his spring and summer.

Charles Howell(80/1) e.w.
- - It's getting to be about that time.

Bo Van Pelt(100/1)
- - The less said the better.

Mike Weir(100/1) e.w.
- - Overrated.

Jeff Maggert(200/1) e.w.
- - Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves, so what am I doing chucking a bunch of pennies here?


Matchups:

Weir(+105) over Verplank (Tournament)

Maggert(-130) over Clarke (Tournament)

Just on a side note.. I am worried about jims putting but his ball striking has been alright. I am fading immelman becuz he has lost like 25 lbs since the masters and i dont think hes gotten all of his energy and strength back. Also fading zack becuz he took 2 weeks off compl from golf.. tough course to come back to ( see tiger at last years open)

WSEX doesn't have the greatest matchups, but would you fade Zach with the Beamer? Beam is +140 ov Zach for the tourney.

Rd 1 matchup

Stenson -.5 ov Dimarco +104 2 units

Stenson hasn't played since the Masters, Dimarco has, but he has two missed cuts and didn't play well in New Orleans, just hoping Stenson isn't too rusty.

Fading immelman looks like a good idea :com: NOT
Oh yea and Holmes is tearing this back 9 up :com:
Glad to see i wasnt the only one who missed with jb.


Bench

J.B. Holmes

Holmes has been a disappointment this year, missing six cuts in 12 starts. He ranks 127 in driving accuracy and 131 in putting on the PGA Tour, a bad combination. He might balance a best-ball roster, but I'd worry about him making the cut. J.B. looks to be a better pick on a wide-open course with easier greens.

Camilo Villegas

Much that is true about Holmes can be said about Villegas. He has missed five of 10 cuts, ranks 110 in driving accuracy, and 114 in putting.

i cant really blame them though since i made the jb pick a day before i saw that article..

I was worried after the 1st nine holes with Dimarco, but he faltered as I hoped he would.

Today

G. Olgivy -.5 -127 ov Wettrich 6.3 to win 5 units

Wettrich similar to CH3 driving accuracy 7%, with 34 putts. although he was ranked 2nd in driving distance, but I guess that doesn't do you much good when you don't hit the fairway.

Well Clarke withdrew.. at least i won one.. and oh yea.. up top where i said purdy over pavin 0* that was just another play like stadler over kuehne which i liked but didnt bet since all of my money at 5 dimes is pending .. Of course it looks good again :shrug:

I need this cut to go to +3.. I cant believe the way some of my guys are struggling :com: Nice finish by vaughn as well.. i leave school he was like 2 under.. ends his round at +4 :thefinger

Interesting pairing of Tiger and Sabb--they have never been paired together before---will be interesting to see how Tiger handles Sabb's firery attitude. Would be funny if he walked off while Tiger was getting ready to hit alla Crane :)

Took Bohn +120 over Love at Pinn for 4th rnd.

Love benefited from early tee last night, today it should play much tougher in conditions he really doesnt like.

4th rd
Ober + 100 over Sabb

Sport / Period: PGA Golf / Game
Line:
Arron Oberholser (4th Rnd) 5/6/2007 1:16:01 PM - (EST)
+100
Opponent: Rory Sabbatini (4th Rnd)

Can't think of situation more pressure packed for player--coming of course record score--being in final pairing--and with Tiger.

Ober been consistent with only player with all rds in 60's--would gladly take a 70 today.

Thinking along the same lines as you DTB :)scared ).

(That is very good news in the golf forum, political forum, well, er, uh...)

Anyway, I took Ober vs VJ +0.5 +150. I am interested myself to see how Sabs does in the Tiger pairing. That is one tough circus to play in. Saw where Sabs said in an interview last night "I want Tiger".

Last time someone mumbled that, I believe Stephen Ames got all he wanted!

Love what Sabs did to Ben Crane, the fukcing statue...Hey whitey, while we're young!

I took woods to win at +105.. didnt post it here ( Posted it on my blog) Im real superstitious. I missed it at +115 last night. Came home and was a little tipsy and its always dangerous making wagers when uve been boozing. Lets hope Tiger can win..

Im still furious with Furyk.. if the rumors are true, then sawgrass should eat his lunch unless his game improves drastically. :chairshot

Wow......how many years can Vijay have left on his career?? He is getting up there and when his long drives and good wedge game go away this guy will be worthless.....

He is almost worthless now.....the guy has missed 4 putts under 5 feet in this tournament.

Had to vent.....this guy has the yips beyond repair.

This will be the last time I ever bet on Vijay. I have a running list of guys that I simply wont bet on and it is unfortunate that I had to add this guy......he replaces Sergio as the best player on my list.....

I dont ask for much.....just make your short putts and dont kill yourself with dumb mistakes.....and Sergio and Vijay fit both criteria.
