    Was very interested in Weisberger this week but the threat of the tournament becoming shortened I think his price is too short but I wouldn't but anyone off backing him.

    Lyoness open
    1pt E/W Joost Luiten @22/1
    1pt E/W R. Karlberg @33/1

    St Jude
    1pt E/W Boo Weekley @33/1
    1pt E/W R. Karlsson @33/1

    0.5pt E/W doubles with the above: outlay of 4pts

    This weeks outlay:12pts


  • Registered Users Posts: 325 ✭✭MUFC91CS


    Luiten is after flying out of the traps, 4 under after 4.

    Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about backing golf but love watching it at the weekends when im not working, I just generally go through the golf tips thread on this and base my selections around that. After your big hit last week, I said id get on a few of you picks :)

    Luiten is going well so hopefully he can get over the line

    have nobody in contention in America so just added a small bet there on someone I have backed a few times this year

    1.5pt win on patrick Reed @33.0

    Delighted to get another win on the board and to see the points total so far in the positive. I know it is still a small sample size but to go from over 100pts down to this give me great pleasure

    Ok I have gone a bit overboard with my staking this week but after a good couple of weeks I may aswell plus I always stake a bit more for majors. I havent bothered with the european tour this week either.

    Much has been said about Merion and how tight it is off the tee etc but a lot of these guys wont even use a wood off the tee never mind a driver. After looking at the stats and the course layout I decided to look at GIR, approaches from 150+ and par 4 scoring rather than driving accuracy stats. But I didnt use these stats to solely make my picks rather to narrow down my selections.

    Firstly I hadnt intended backing woods originally but at 6/1 I couldnt resist considering this course requires course management as much as anything and this man is the best in the business. Plus i cant wait the see his trademark stinger shot:)

    Justin Rose although he doesnt top any of the key stats per se he is consistent across all areas I looked at.

    Rickie Fowler is selected due to his course form when playing Walker Cup here, he had a great record and is one of few players with any course form

    Stricker is up there with the best for GIR (although he hasnt enough rounds for his stats to qualify for the pga website when you break them down he is near the top) add that to the fact he is an amazing putter

    Bill Haas is someone i was very undecided about but I feel par 5s has been his down fall and Merion only has 2 of them while he ranks 2nd overall for par 4 performance and also in the top 10 for GIR from 150+

    Stenson is next and although I havent put much weight into driving accuracy this guy is ranked number 1 but also ranked 3rd in GIR but in particular he is 1st for GIR from 175-200yards. Just hope his scrambling doesnt let him down.

    U.S Open Bets
    8pts E/W Woods @6/1 paying 6 places
    4pts E/W Rose @28/1 paying 7 places
    2pts E/W Stricker @50/1 paying 7 places
    2pts E/W Fowler @66/1 paying 7 places
    2pts E/W Haas @66/1 paying 7 places
    2pts E/W Stenson @66/1 paying 7 places

    Total Outlay: 40pts

    Just wondering does anyone even read these posts or am I talking to myself? Is there any point me giving reasoning for the selections?

    I read it every time I'm on boards and there is any new post here and I really appreciate the reasoning behind each selection.

    Thanks also for tipping Luiten last week :) that was a timely bankroll boost before this weeks major.

    Keep up the good work.

    Those prices are from a local bookmakers park racing but as far as i know they take a lit of their prices from powers who are also paying 7 if you bet from mobile.

    Woods was with betfair sportsbook

    This is my first time seeing this log but it looks excellent to me and I'll be checking back regularly. Reasoning behind the picks being a major factor for me.

    I hadn't intended getting involved in this event but after finalising my US open bets early I had some time on my hands. This event has a big mixture of european tour journeymen and up and coming challenge tour players. The favourites are Simon Dyson who has been in shocking form this year and then a fella called Brooks Koepka who i hadn't heard of but after looking him up his recent form on the lesser tours is quite impressive but i feel his price is a bit short.
    I think the value here could be Mark Tullo who was 3rd here last year and has been in decent form of late in particular when 2nd to Peter Uihlien (who I had backed) in the Medeira Open and few starts back. I also had a small speculative bet on young French (the event is in france) challenge tour player Edouard Dubois how has a 2nd and 3rd in events in recent weeks.

    Bets
    2pt E/W Mark Tullo @33/1 paying 5 places
    0.5pt Win Edouard Dubois @120.0


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,750 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    the way today has gone i fancy one of the late starters to be 1st round leader so just took a small bit of westwood FRL for a bit of interest

    0.5pt win westwood first round leader @33/1

    Am raging about the woods bet it was a shocking bet and I hadnt intended backing him but just had an impulse

    Stricker, fowler and stenson all gave me a run for my money and unlucky not to grab a place with one of them.

    And then there is Justin Rose well there is one word for that

    BOOM!

    Well done, was on Horschel all week myself. Got the place money but could have traded out for a bit more.

    Great picks, was on all them again. Was not overly impressed when Phil chipped in for eagle, thought he would push on from there. Thanks again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,750 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    yeh he gave me a few scares throughout that final round particularly the approach on 16, I nearly put my back out jumping up when rose nearly holed out on 18.

    Might not get to write up all my picks for this week until tomorrow but one I do fancy for the travellers in John Rollins he is currently 40/1 with betfair fixed odds on but I expect that to shorten to a max of 33/1 and maybe shorter in places. So if you planning on backing him id get on as soon as you can

    I will put these picks up early even though I havent finalised all my bets yet. I will edit this post later as I add my other selections.

    Both events are relatively short courses and I expect pretty low scoring in both events. Neither course particularly suits one type of golfer over another but one of the stats worth looking at in the U.S event is birdie averages and par 4 scoring as it is a par 70 course with 2 par fives.

    It is also a difficult week to get a handle on things with see many teeing up in both events the week after a grueling U.S open. Two that I am considering in the Travelers are Rickie Fowler and Jason Dufner but I am worried about the effects of the weekend and the 2nd thing is there price is quite short so for now I havent put them in but I wouldnt put anyone off backing either.

    My First selection for the Travelers in John Rollins who ticks so many boxes this week. Although he doesnt top any of the stats I looked at he is very consistent across all the scoring stats, he has very good course form with a 4th and 2nd here the last 2 years he is also in good recent form witha 6th and 4th in his last two events add that to the fact he should be well rested after not playing in the U.S Open at 40s he is very good value.
    My second selection is another who is well rested after not playing the US open and it is Brian Davis. He has decent course form finishing 4th and 9th the last two years and although he recent form isnt brilliant it is decent enough with only 1 mc in the last 10 events so hopefully he can kick on in a course that should suit him. I think he is a good bet at 66/1

    For the BMW international it is a difficult one to assess with the market leaders all playing the U.S Open last week and being short enough in the betting for me to avoid. I am considering Thomas Bjorn but I havent pulled the trigger on him yet he is a former course winner and is in good recent form I am just trying to way up if the price is value or not I will update if I do pull the trigger. My first bet for this is Joost Luiten he had a nice break after winning two weeks ago and we already saw brett rumford win in quick succession on the european tour this year so I am hoping Joost can repeat. In a low scoring course Joost is very capable of shooting low and has good course form finishing 3rd and 11th the last 2 years the event took place here. Would have prefered 33s but happy enough to take 28s about Luiten.

    Bets
    Travellers Championship
    2pt E/W John Rollins @ 40/1
    1pt E/W Brian Davis @66/1

    BMW Chamionship
    2pt E/W Joost Luiten @28/1

    Mulitibles
    0.5 e/w doubles with luiten into rollins and davis (2pt outlay)
