Golf - Tournament of Champions and Africa Open

jjll

only 28 players playing in america no surprise with kaymer mcilroy and donald not playing but with simpson , watney and stricker there it will be interesting. Bubba shot a 58 in practice and i know there is alot of kj fans on here. but this course is ridiculous stricker hit a 420 yard drive last year fairways wide and downhil on most so the studying starts for friday

The Plantation Course will likely play quite difficult for the rest of this week.

Driving rain and gusty winds are forecast changing this course completely.

One player who excels in windy conditions is Sean O'Hair. Very surprised to see him priced up at 25/1. Bookies off the ball with this one.

First, just want to wish everyone a happy 2012 and hopefully 2012 proves to a fruitful year for everyone here


2 bets for me this week and both in the US -

Nick Watney @ 10/1 (Ladbrokes)

Besides being a potential Major winner in the very near future I believe, the guy loves Bermuda greens and has done well at Kapula in the past.

Martin Laird @ 20/1 (Bet 365)

I expect Laird to push on once again this year. Another player who loves Bermuda greens.

So yup, no Webb for me this week :eek: :pac:

No current form to go on so for me its €20 ew Bubba 16s €15 ewSabattini 25s €7.50 ew Vegas 40s.Kingston @almost evens(20 to 21) Boyles looks a great bet to beat Fichart (missed the cut here for the past 2 years) in Africa.Happy punting at least it takes longer to lose money on the golf than on the horses,my little joke.

gudede

I backed Woodland @ 18/1, he can hit the ball long and the wide fairways should help him. Only problem is that everyone is talking about him so he'll probably finish last

rehssu

Went with O'Hara e/w 66/1 in Africacaca

&

The bubbanator e/w 16/1 in America

heavyballs

Just one bet this week......Aaron Baddeley @18/1,win only

jjll

went with woodland at 16s in boyles loves playing in wind everyone seems to be talking bout him cant believe ooost shot 62 in africa to get to 15 under ...... el loco has someone hacked your account no simpson this week def something wrong ha ha happy new year to all and i hope we have a good year punting and alot of banter on here

was in pp yesterday and they enhanced stricker from 8s to 10s for 1 hour and buubas price dropped to 14s fom 16s fella behind counter said bubba was def there biggest on this tourny

leroythelegend

I've 10e/w on woodland @14s and 5e/w on bubba @16s.
Did a 5 e/w double on woodland @14s and Aiken (african Open) @12s but didn't back aiken on his own :mad: Off to a great start but could all go pear shaped.

Fursttimer

added Rory Sabbatini 28/1 too

Think Byrd could defend.
Ogilvy and Appleby have both done so in the past 6 or so years.
It is that kind of course.

Think he's 22/1 with PP

Hope it works out! I've a 5er each way!

jjll

interesting to see if woodland drives a few on green on back 9 lucky escape on hole 9 as well el loco simpson putter on fire at mo

jjll

id be happy if leader is 6 under at end and woodland pick up a few shots over last few

Dave147

Backed Keegan Bradley as usual, got some nice returns off him this year. 16/1 €5.50 e/w to get rid of the odd €11 in my account :P

Nuri Sahin

Damn Webby

Watched the the last hour and a bit of coverage in the early hours, Byrd was striking the ball beautifully, and his putts were rolling in and at the perfect pace. He's got his eye in again on this course. Only 1 round played of course, but he's gonna be very hard to beat if he keeps that up despite some other very good scores posted.

Just backed him myself @9/1,decent price in running(less of the aftertiming BTW)

see that drive on 12 went miles left and made birdie from 11 ft driver is all over place. stricker always has 1 bad round simpson throws an odd one in but woodland just seems rusty to me

gudede

No I missed his drive, I'm waiting it online and they don't seem to be showing him at all, so looking him up on shot tracker.....what about Chris Kirk :eek: Running up the leaderboard

jjll

bubba is back in this 366 yard drive onto green 10 ft fr eagle to get to 4 under

Could I get the link you are watching please?

I'd love to know if Byrd is missing birdie chances, playing steady or scrambling every hole!

gudede

That Bubba would do your head in, his score cards are always colourful he'll probably triple boogie the next one

vipbos is good for watching sport online

jjll

thats me done with the golf for weekend woodland just took a 7 on par 4 305 yard o well early bed tomo and monday fr me

jjll

he over drove green by 10 yards and was out bounds god damn

jjll

stricker is the man this week he was my bet for next week 2 minds now

jjll

never backing woodland again eagle then OB again on next hole he is all over place

abouttobebanned

This tournament is over.

Nuri Sahin

Didn't watch last night but Stricker, my word.. some round!

abouttobebanned

Well it wasn't really some round...but it was a good finish. (EDIT - you meant the second round. Yep it was brilliant)

I backed Byrd pre tournament and I went to sleep after he bogeyed the 2nd and 3rd holes. At that point he dropped back to -6. I woke up some time later and did a quick check. Unbelievably he was -13 and Stricker was still -15. I couldn't believe it.

Of course then I started watching and Byrd missed a 3 footer for birdie and didn't birdie the par 5. Stricker birdied, then chipped in and well...went 5 shots ahead.

He's generally a good leader but I think he'll end up only winning by 1 or 2. Simpson will chase him home, so to speak.

jjll

WTF charl 10/3 withh pp and 7/2 with boyles next week i know he won it 2 years in row but still even stricker was 5/1 to win 3rd john dere

jjll

going to bang in on jonathan byrd +3 shots with pp v stricker at 4/5 looks easy money byrd is -3 already and stricker 1 over

jjll

just about sums up woodland this week missed a putt from 1ft 3inches knocks it 2 ft past i will be peeeeved if simpson wins this usually back him

Good shout,did anyone else see stricker blatantly look through byrds bag on the 8th tee to see what club he was hitting,i know its not cheating just dont like it

jjll

well only 5 shot lead now both should birdie 9 so will byrd lose it on back nine as i can see stricker defend afetr this and birdie 15 and 18 par 5s stricker always seems to have one dodgy round a tourny and this is it memba last round john dere he had to pull it out there with that birdie on 18

Nuri Sahin

Just started watching now. T2nd is Laird, probably asking too much though..

jjll

stricker is playing well but dont know if i can do him next week 9/1

Nuri Sahin

Game over. Laird gave me a good run at least. Normally start of slowly in the golf betting till the summer rears around, so this was a good start all things considered.
