Golf - PGA Championship 2011

Nuri Sahin

Placed on the 5th of Aug, those on Twitter will have seen it -

Watney @ 28/1
Day @ 33/1
Scott @ 33/1
Toms @ 66/1
Jacobsen 80/1
Love III @ 100/1
Ryo 125/1

Majority of them have regularly featured in my betting this year so no real surprises. Ryo finding form again, I couldn't say no as those who know me know much I rate the kid and want him to do well. Ryo was someone who featured in my betting a couple of years ago in every major though.

Fowler and Toms were really tempting. Toms playing on a course where he won his one and only major on, coupled with this weeks performance where he played solidly. Fowler, I really believe he'll win a major and many tour events after his breakthrough. Doing well on such a technical course as Firestone, re-instils my confidence in that. But I had too many bets I wanted to place this week.

Don't think Day has the temperament to win a major yet. I could be wrong but thats the impression I get

Day's finish at the masters leads me to believe he could definitely win a major. I'm backing Dustin Johnson for this though

mcilroy @10s mickelson @ 16s and johnson @22s.5ew on each

I agree with you on Toms

Here is interesting stat I came across

-Since the Firestone based tournament became the PGA ‘warm up’ in 2006, the winner of the PGA Championship has always been in the field and has always finished in the Top 25 of the Bridgestone.

Dr.Silly

Gary Woodland
Adam Scott
Frederick Jacobson

Anyone know how many place ladbrokes pay ? can't seem to find it on the website !

The_Kew_Tour

Just going through exchanges and Molder at 679/1(could get higher) seems like huge price for back/lay fans.

jjll

westwood is going to be my choice this week seems to be playing well

ValueSeeker

Word around is that Atlanta Atlethic club could play similarly to the WGC Bridgestone. Premium will be on long iron approaches and greens are set to run fast. Jason Day (25) is the outstanding value pick for me. Not lacking in confidence, no obvious weakness in his game, big hitter, lover of tough courses and bang in form. Putter was looking in great shape at the Bridgestone.

Full picks / info here for anyone interested.

it is nothing like firestone it has long rough and a 260 yard par3 if you go in rough you will be lucky to make 6 or 7

Derek!

I have not decided on my picks yet but usually someone in the golf threads picks the winner so I may just follow a few.
I wont get the time to do research this week but goodluck folks

I've added Bermuda green specialist Jonathan Byrd 480/1 to my picks. What a stupid ridiculous price

albert kidd

el loco..

did you back kim in the end..i remember you saying a few weeks back you liked the look of his game for this week?

Nah I didn't man. I didn't expect him to crumble so easily a couple of weeks back in that final round, and that put massive doubts on him. I was fair sure someone of his ability and confidence would have gone onto win that tbh. So I backed out. He was driving and putting like a demon though, very impressive in the first 3 rounds. I like Kim and think he's well capable of winning a Major in the future, certainly pre-injury but until he does well again on a Sunday I'll be avoiding him.

I've gone past my usual 5 bets for Majors anyway now after adding Toms and Ryo.

yeah i think he has the game myself..but not sure if now is the right time,more of a trade option then leave to win.

his interview before that final round last week was'nt a confident one..said he's still getting to grips with his swing..but times during the rounds he has serious doubts over it..that's not a good outlook to have,especially as he was in the driving seat with the final round only minutes away!!

agree..if taking him to win..id be waiting until he closes out a sunday also mate.

As someone who has had a couple of serious wrist injuries like Kim, I know where he's coming from. A lot of doubt can come into play at times on the course, took me a year to really get over my wrist break. I was astonished by his performance in the Open a month ago namely because of the rough.

As you said, trading is the option to go with him.

The_Kew_Tour

Sergio at just over 5/1 on exchanges looks a decent bet I am on it for few quid anyway might do him top 5 too..

should have my bets completed by tomorrow.

USPGA

Main Picks

Rickie Fowler Win
Getting closer and closer to that breakthrough victory, solid enough last week and could go one step better and win this.

Cameron Tringale Win/Place
Been solid enough the last few weeks, getting closer and closer to victory, although this may be a step up in class his price is well worth a gamble for someone very much in form.

Other Picks

Ryan Moore Win/Place
Martin Laird Win/Place

All small stakes!

Good Luck Everyone

fatherbuzcagney

vj 200/1 10e/w and 10e on betfair @410/1

mailburner

dustin 28s
garcia 55s (60s with pp)
jacobsen 90s

those odds for the open
expecting the usual zero return as with most majors

Gillington

F Jacobsen EW for me @ 90/1 will have another look

For any followers of Pete Nordsted, I'll be doing a piece on the USPGA for the weekend, pointing out my fancies and trading plan. You can catch it in his newsletter which you can subscribe to here for free.

Anthony and the Johnsons

The_Kew_Tour

Stricker, Watney, Zach Johnson, Woodland, Molder, Jacquelin, Keegan Braddely and Palmer on BF prices win and place..

Also did Sergio for top 5 and top 10 finish.

Wish everyone the very best this week and hope everyone makes profit..

think I could add couple more but at this stage nothing popping up value wise.

premierstone

McIllroy and Scott as my main bets and then pennies on Toms, Laird, Woodland, Choi, Imada, Palmer, Laird and Slocum.

Degag

Any firm paying 7 places?

yeah hopefully solid start tomorrow........looking to add another string and finding it difficult to ignore the 50/1 about schwartzel..if he takes a liking to track price could look huge!

I think he one if not the most underrated player around. Like you say his price could be big come Sunday, but I think he may find few bit too good this week..

But Golf is funny one at times.

big price ok, though he hasn't made a cut since june,
is he a Bermuda specialist?? my stats on east coast bermuda has him with no top 3 finishes in over 30 starts

ghosttown

Fun bets;
O'Hair at 125/1
Watson at 50/1
Poulter at 150/1

All 3ew

zimmermania

Looks a bit trickey,McIlroy,Donald and Westwood dominate the market at skinny enough prices.The pga often throws up some real outsiders at 200 and 300 to 1 and it might be worth waiting to see if any of the above trio have a sluggish start and then laying them.There should be some opportunities to make a few bob laying over the 4 days.Just 1 win bet a tenner on Aaron Baddeley 120 on bf if he can straighten out his driving he may be in with a shout.

jive

Lay Woods top5 @ 7.6 ... Not hitting it well enough off the tee for him to do well this week unless he has rectified his problems between Sunday and now. I'll take my chances with this one but you never know with Woods.

Westwood@ 14/1 e/w (6 places) - hitting it well all year just needs a hot putter for a round or 2 and he'll be there or thereabouts come Sunday
Jason Day @ 28/1 e/w (6 places) - been placing well all year and looks like he has a big win in him

Kuchar@ 5.3 - Top10 - went to college near this course and is extremely consistant. Great price for a top10 on someone who is surely familiar with the course.

Tempted by Fowler e/w but have enough on already. The last time I said this was about McIlroy at the US Open :pac:

Meglamonia

There's so many interesting bets there but i'm gonna restrict myself to 20 euro anyone wanna make up my mind for me :pac:

mufc2010

went with
5ew phil mickelson 25/1
2ew tiger 25/1
and a scabby 1ew on Fredrik Jacobson 80/1

Degag

Mickelson 25s
Mahan 66s
Karlsson90s
Barnes 200s
Mediate. 600s

markc91

Westwood 14's
Mickelson 20's
Day 25's
Fowler 25's
Garcia 60's
Byrd 200's

€20 spread out all e/w

frat

50 on McIlroy
20 on Day
10 on Kaymer
10 on Garcia
10 on Watson

All to win, hopefully one of them will be in the mix come Sunday afternoon

Dolph Starbeam

Fowler 10 e/w @ 25/1
Watson 10 e/w @ 55/1
Woodland 10 e/w @ 80/1

And a few long shots

Larrazabel 5 e/w @ 350/1
Edfors 5 e/w @ 300/1
Tringale 5 e/w @ 250/1

Fingers firmly crossed for a good weekend, hopefully a couple of them will be there or thereabouts come Sunday. Best of luck everyone.

Your long shots are good picks..

Not picked any of them myself as had narrow it down (i picked 9 players anyway) but can see at least one of them giving a run for your money

Added Dyson 160 and stallings 480 a fiver on each with bf,hopefully a quick lay will get me in profit if any of them perform and now that the fun is taken care of i will wait for events to unfold before i dip into the lay market.This might be the week to concentrate on hovering up small amounts on no hopers who are well off the pace.
