The Irish Open returns to Killarney, albeit with the prize fund sliced in half since 3's decision to end their sponsorship. It will still be a treat to have two of this years major winners in the field, even better that they are Irish. If the weather is similar or better then last year then the crowds should turn out in great numbers.

My selections for this week are Jacquelin (40/1) & McGrane (100/1).

Monty is out, achillies injury apparently.

bigtimecharlie · 26-07-2011 08:59PM

Jamie Donaldson has to win some time, e5 e/w at 25/1 with PP.

e1 e/w on Ferrie (200/1) and also R McGowan (150/1).

rehssu · 26-07-2011 09:14PM

Rory has to be backed, even at odds as short as 5/1

E/W-ers:

Horsey 95 (betfair)
Wood 42 (betfair)
Olesen 60 (betfair)

vonbarracuda · 26-07-2011 10:01PM

Jamie Donaldson 5 e/w 25/1

JerryHandbag · 26-07-2011 10:26PM

My bets on PP

Darren Clarke 25/1, Richard Green 33/1, Niclas Fasth 150/1

plumber77 · 26-07-2011 10:58PM

Richard Finch or Niclas Fasth..Shane Lowry best of the paddies

A New earth · 26-07-2011 11:46PM

Yes R Green e/w 33/1 6 places with Boylesports

Aidric · 27-07-2011 10:44AM

Donaldson at 25's is terrible odds, they have him priced the same as Clarke!!

The bloke could win but how he isn't at least 66 I don't know

tang1 · 27-07-2011 10:54AM

Simon Dyson €5 to win at 25/1. E/Wr's Richard Finch at 50's and Gonzalo Fernandez Castano at 125's.

ssbob · 27-07-2011 01:13PM

Richard Finch came second last week and feels comfortable in Ireland(winner a couple of years ago) so I will be taking what I can get on him and I also fancy Michael Campbell to put 4 rounds together for an each way( also a winner in Ireland)

I expect GMAC to try his hardest to win also but odds are very short, an outside punt on Shane Lowry and Chris wood maybe.

Speak Now · 27-07-2011 01:42PM

McIlroy 5/1 is poor price really.
This will be his 150th start on European tour.
2 wins to date!

Might back Simon Dyson and Chris Wood.

Degag · 27-07-2011 03:01PM

Gone with Dyson and Finch and Phil in America.

Profondo Rosso · 27-07-2011 03:51PM

The draw for the tee-times are all terrible

bailey99 · 27-07-2011 03:55PM

Marcel Siem 175/1
Rhys Davies 75/1

According to the European Tour site it's his 88th start as a pro. And I doubt he played 62 events as an amateur

He played his 100th professional event worldwide at the start of the year. He is on about his 110th event as a pro and 88th on the Euro Tour (as i said above)

Epic fail from me, for some reason they added up his rankings in Race2Dubai over 5 years and put the number beside events played (87)

TheRoomWrecker · 27-07-2011 05:41PM

my bets

Paddy H at 18/1 (after his long chats with Dr. Bob) 20e to win

"The hair" Robert Rock 33/1 10e ew

Michael "the come back" Campbell 200/1:rolleyes: you never now 10e ew

Its going to be a birdiefest and typically PH does not do well in tournaments where the winner comes in 20+ under.

Thepoet85 · 27-07-2011 06:04PM

Not sure who to do, but Donaldson and Dyson seem to be on the verge of claiming a title sooner or later so I'm try them e/w.

Should be good entertainment, but think McIlroy and McDowell are out a few hours before the coverage starts which is a shame.

chalkie 501 · 27-07-2011 07:14PM

Followed rory for the first 8 holes today and he was -5 for them,could have been -8(he missed 3putts inside 15 ft)...if conditions stay the same he'll win it by a mile.
Robert jan derksen seemed to be playing well,@80/1 might be worth a fiver e/w

staker · 27-07-2011 07:19PM

Lads I'm heading back to Killarney on Saturday,herself wants to know what time she's to be ready at. I presume it would be a mid-morning tee off schedule?

I'd imagine play will start around 8ish,the last groups normally tee-off around 1

niallo27 · 27-07-2011 08:55PM

Stuck 20 e/w on Robert rock, seems like good value

Heading there tomorrow told the missus she's not allowed come as she will get tired after about 2 hours...............I told her this is critical to my future golfing genius:D

SSK · 28-07-2011 09:40AM

Small e/w stakes on Finch, Wood and Bourdy...hard to look beyond McIlroy for the win though.

I got the starts wrong but the wins right.

Quail Hollow isn't on European tour.

Rory takes an early lead, looking ominous!
