St Jude Classic

Aidric

Strange to see three Europeans leading the betting in a PGA Tour event. Harrington back in action after a short injury lay off, McIlroy also playing.
I've gone for Tim Petrovic e/w (70/1 Bet365), coming off a top 5 last week and 6th a couple of weeks previous.

My preview available here

Good luck

I always pick 3 guys for if have bet. Going be my first bet this year on Golf (which is my best sport betting wise)

Tim Herron 100/1
Paul Goydos 100/1
Billy Mayfair 150/1

Johnny_Fontane

a little off topic, but I always wonder why people dont use betfair for backing outside golfers.

to give you an example,
tim herron is 309/1
billy mayfair is 449/1

and you can very easily lay them off.

I dont work for betfair or anything but the differences in prices is astronomical and I'd hate to see people pulling out these golfers and not getting paid properly!

SEORG

Robert Karlsson 66/1
John Sendon 66/1

I went with Goydos too, good price given his recent performances there.

personally it's because i prefer to deal with bookies over the counter,reason for that,the fact that when i open an account on line i end up backing on everything,i have come to the conclusion that my addictive personality doesn't suit having a handy on line account to do silly bets at home
i admit i'm too impatient to have an online account

understood! I know that chronicle bookmakers (under sporting emporium on anne street) offer spread prices and you can walk in and do your bet and get your docket.....

Aidric

Harrington -2 through his front 9, 3 off the current lead.

I do and have got some great prices remember backing Ames for players championship few years back and got him at 124/1 when he was best price 80/1 with bookies.

Just at moment I dont want back on internet cause trying save few bob and only trying bet in small amounts. But agree betfair has some great value.

Its not a chronicle anymore and you can only back things on a touch screen i.e. give your money to an agent in return for a ticket that goes into one of the machines! you can lay on these machines but the prices are terrible and cant do it in running!

there are also PCs with access to betdaq only because of the Desmond link!

Basically it's useless!

Harrington -4 thru 15, t4
Westwood -7 thru 13!

amazing what a fella can do when he consistantly puts the ball on the fairway

a lesson there for all.

PhilipMarlowe

Birdied his 16th as well, now -5, t3

Aidric

Solid opening 65 from Harrington, just two off the current lead of Westwood. I hope they feature some of McIlroys round on sky tonight.

Aidric

McIlroy putting a good round together, currently on -4. -7 still leads it.

Aidric

Harrington playing rubbish, +2 thru 11.
Petrovic leading on -8.

Aidric

Harrington has double bogeyed two par 3's. Back to -1 now.

Aidric

Big bomb from Harrington shooting +4, 8 shots off the lead now. McIlroy is only four off and might do well on the weekend. The only advantage for Harrington is he'll be out early tomorrow and might shoot low, most of the low rounds have been shot early this week.

historyoflime

One or two under from Rory today and, unless someone starts firing birdies late on like what happened yesterday, he should be nicely placed heading into the final round.

Really impressed with how he's bounced back almost immediately after dropping shots at 1, 2 and 7.

He's putting really well, too. Solid from inside 10 feet and holing more than his fair share of long ones, aswell.

historyoflime

Typical. Just when I finish typing, he misses a 10 footer for birdie...

reckon it's goin to be car crash tv tonight,Robert Garrigus leadin by a couple,i can't see him holding on,predict he shoots a 74

Ya, never won a PGA event on tour since turning pro in 1997. I'm hoping Tim Petrovic can do it cause I backed him. Karlsson has been solid and another 66 from him could take it.

In_tuition

Reckon someone has a 63 in them near the top of the leaderboard but it won't be Karlsson or Westwood.

There is a heat advisory in effect for today and no wind so I think it could play a huge part against the Europeans. Plus no European has ever won this event.

Hopefully it will be Petrovic but the local lad Micheel is also worth considering.

It was intense yesterday as well. Garrigus being interviewed last night said the bottom of his bag was melting near the end of his round.

It's so hot out there, the bottom of my bag was melting when I put it down on the asphalt path.

abouttobebanned

Don't rule out Brian Gay.

Him or Petrovic winning and I'd be one happy son of a bitch.

Aidric

Jaysus, the lads are melting out there. Petrovic has bombed unfortunately.

Red faces all round. It must be brutal trying to hold energy levels in this humidity.

BUACHAILL

hate saying this as I really like Westwood but looks like he has choked a little again, I know he wasnt leading and Garrigus has played great golf but even still, everytime he gets himself into a winning position he mucks it up on last few holes !!

It has to be effecting him mentally at this stage

As a golfer yes but apart from that he's a no no.

very good...:D:D
yes as a golfer

Aidric

Garigus in the water on 18. Should have enough cushion to see it out.

Aidric

Oh dear. Maybe not.

BUACHAILL

jesus wept i am cringing here looking at this, feel for the guy thats a blow up
can he hold on ???

Aidric

That third shot in to the trees was a fúcking shocker. His caddy should have had a word.

Huntelaar

Just looking at this on shot tracker...... why did he hit his third over the water to the left?

BUACHAILL

yeah in fairness it was an absolute shocker, reckon i could have hit it better with me eyes closed, should have taken his driver and smashed it off tee

Aidric

Anyone lay him on the 18th tee? :pac:

BUACHAILL

that was his killer, should have taken an iron and put it in play

Huntelaar

Yeh I do but I'm not watchin it. I'm lazy and don't wana go downstairs!

BUACHAILL wrote: »

Yep, all he had to do was hit it up to the right edge instead of trying to home in on the pin.

Great tee shot from Garrigus now - incredibly unlucky! Golf can be cruel.
