Lay Tiger for a Top 5, maybe even Top 10.

He was the first player that stood out price wise. Got him at 46 on BF and was too good turn down.

Will look more in depth later although I think Simpson and Hanson will be on my list too just looking at prices, but need study it more.

4 bets this week. Just haven't decided on the 4th.

I'm actually tempted by Rory admittedly but his record at Sawgrass plus comments made before about the event are slightly off putting. Really need to think this one over. Kinda torn between backing him, Toms, Johnson or Stricker (those odds are fairly nice and despite winning me a fair few bob last year I have avoided betting on him this season as far as I recall!). Probably decide at the end of the day or tomorrow on the final pick.


Simpson @ 40/1
Ain't gonna stop backing him now. A win is around the corner IMHO.

Sergio @ 40/1
Like Simpson, have to stick with Sergio. Last event saw him finished T12 at the Masters despite not playing well over the weekend. Very good history around Sawgrass, a former winner and finished runners up here also.

Watney @ 50/1
First two rounds at Quail Hallow he looked to be finding his feet again before trailing off, there were positive signs though. Finished 5th here last year.

NigelK56

Bud Cauley at 100-1, played course over 100 times.

Senna

Hanson, Peter @ 70/1
Accurate as they come and it will be needed at Sawgrass. Paid me back at the Masters so ill give him another shot.

Crane, Ben @ 66/1
Has a good record here, so great odds.

Hoki

Adam Scott - 35/1, previous winner here & tied for 6th last year.

Henrik Stenson - 100/1, another previous winner who also has a number of top ten finishes here down through the years.

Il probably throw Bud Cauley in as well at 100/1 & possibly one of McDowell (60/1) or Garcia (35/1) as well.

no player has won at sawgrass on there first chance there rules simpson out for me but i agree will win soon

abouttobebanned

David Toms and KJ Choi both around the 100-1 mark. Yes I know they were in the playoff here last year and that's no reason to pick them again...but...Choi is just too big @ 120 and Toms is in great form at the moment.

Also think Mcilroy has to be backed every week really...the way he drives the ball will always put him in contention.

I generally back him every week as you are virtually guaranteed to be able to lay him off at a shorter price in running, but I think this is one week to leave him alone, he has a terrible record at Sawgrass, having never even broke par here and has openly admitted he hates the course and finds it doesnt suit he's game at all.

BQQ

H Mahan @30/1 - Having a great season. Game looks made for here. Tied 6th last year.

H Stenson top swedish player @9/2 - Former winner here. Was playing quite well this year(4 top 25s in 5 starts) till missing cuts last twice.


Euro tour:

Roope Kakko @150/1 - Very weak field. This guy at least knows how to win having won on the challange tour. Only 3 tour starts this year (2 narrowly missed cuts and a 37th) Generous fairways will suit (long, but not too accurate). Top 10 in putts per round.

albert kidd

watney @ 55.
kuchar @ 65
keegan bradley @ 80.
bob karlsson @ 350.
paddy harrington @ 120.

Still haven't decided on my 4th pick but am coming around to the idea of Mahan.

Those are serious prices. I dont care what form Cink is in he only won major few years ago.

heavyballs

Just one for me,Furyk @50/1

Degag

Am i mad to consider Tiger? 25s 22s is a very good price IMO. Also thinking Phil at 20s.

The_Kew_Tour

Went with Stricker, Simpson, Mahan and Karlsson at bigger price.

oh and Cink

applehunter

Sergio @ 40's

:cool:

rehssu

Going with Z Johnson @ 50/1 in the Players
&
Robert Coles @ 66/1 in Madeira

Both e/w and an e/w double

Johnny86

Gone for 4 myself, all e-w with PPower paying out top 6.

David Toms @ 80-1. Good form here generally and showed form last week with one very low round.

Ernie Else @ 50-1. Been playing great lately and deserves a win soon, hopefully here.

Nick Watney @ 45-1. Was going good last week (8th) but had a poor final round. Also went close here last year.

Louis Oosthuizen @ 35-1. His form for last 3 tournaments reads 3-2-1. Has had a break so hopefully fresh and raring to go!

Others in my mind were O'Hair, McDowell, Rose and..James Driscoll (showing bits of form and 2 top 10s in his last 4)!!

Was between him and Karlsson for my picks and went with latter.

Just hope it does not come back to bite us.

Scott
Bradley
McDowell
Snedeker

Added Mahan @ 30/1 as well.

jive

Scott 36 win
Woods e/w 26 (6 places)
Choi 150 win

hopefully one gets in contention...preferably choi

Lads,

was looking at the market for balls in the water on the 17th, below is the record for the last few years
2003 — 29
2004 — 30
2005 — 68
2006 — 57
2007 — 93
2008 — 64
2009 — 30
2010 — 29
2011 — 39

I've a few quid on 37 or over with bet365 at 5/6. looking at this weekends forecast it should be achieveable.

good fun watching it too!!!!!!!!!!

abouttobebanned

Even more fun trying to keep up with it.

There's live coverage of the 13th and 17th hole on the PGA site right now.

The_Kew_Tour

from twitter

Angel Cabrera gives three balls to the water gods on the 17th hole, resulting in a 9 on the par-3 at @TPCSawgrass. Goes from Even to +6.

yeah, huge prices for players who have shown they can compete and win big tournaments..plenty of value in this tourny..its just a case of trying to latch on to the right one:D

albert kidd

the prices have been crazy as soon as someone hits the front in this..poulter hit sub 8 during his first round.pure crazy imo..if one had a decent bank he could of done very werll during this by just laying alone..thing is i dont have a decent bank:D

Nuri Sahin

20 on Fowler @ 7/2

abouttobebanned

Personally I'd never back a player the day after a superb round. They can rarely follow it up with another.

jjll

why is david toms hanging around -7 too low to think of having a chance

jjll

cant believe donald if he finishes -9 what do people think


no money this week just donald as usual got going too late 2 weeks off for me as they getting hard to get at mo

albert kidd

kuchar making it hard for himself.

albert kidd

Nuri Sahin

Hatred for Kuchar ever increases
