Peter Hanson Top 20 @ 15/8

His CV is littered with great performances on Bermuda Par 72 formats like Abu Dhabi, Doha, Emirates and Earth Course. He's also performed admirably at Fanling (Classical Bermuda), Valderrama (Classical) and Sheshan (Par 72), plus his win at Lake Maleren (+7,600 yard Par 72) last October when holding off Rory McIlroy was truly impressive. In the US he's performed well at Doral (4th 2012, 8th 2013), Augusta (3rd - 2012), Pebble Beach (16th US Open 2010), Congressional (7th US Open 2011), Firestone (8th 2010) and Kiawah Island (7th 2012). That's a decent list of Tiger-positive tracks if ever I saw one. He actually played Bay Hill as a non member in 2011, so has course experience and his strong current Greens in Regulation game in tandem with Bermuda putting from the top draw (+0.603 PGA National and +1.432 Doral) makes him extremely dangerous this week.

thanks for that,not happy as i have Cab Bello and i think he would need the 4 rounds to sneak a place.

Definitely think Gmac is worth an e/w bet at Bay Hill this weekend. He was runner up here to Tiger last year. He is at 25-1 on several sites and a few of them are paying out to 6 places.

Ouch.

as i said when you posted him originally earlier this week i just can't take to the bloke and i know he's a major winner etc but to me there's too much going on in his swing to trust him as a betting prop any week.
If ever he was going to be up there you would this was the week giving local knowledge/recent form/past form/bit windy but no show

jjll · 23-03-2013 12:36pm

2 rounds to go bobbut looking good fr a 50/1 winner

yeah but the web.com is tough,never get ahead of myself with 2 to go,same with Rose,had a little on Jimmy Walker @25/1.
The one i'm most afrid of is Ben Martin,he's going to make it big on the us tour in time,had not played the par5's great this week but he's playing best tee to green by some way

jjll · 23-03-2013 5:17pm

Wind suppose to get to 30 kph which could keep everything close bit merritt is one i would fear he started well 3under throu 3

freethearmy · 23-03-2013 6:20pm

JJ Henry leader after round 3 25/1 have somr of that!!!:)

Dolph Starbeam · 24-03-2013 12:13am

Tiger finally goes to the top. One more solid round please. After Keegan Bradley's first round he has come back brilliantly to be in a large group within about 4 shots of Tiger, he hit every fairway today, I can see him having another good round tomorrow and getting a place. Bradley at 40/1 is definitely worth a pick for The Masters. He was 50/1 for The Masters this morning, sick I didn't get on at that price. Have him backed at 40s now as I think a good round tomorrow and his price might drop a little more.

jjll · 24-03-2013 5:45pm

Might look at scott fr masters been playing a few rounds with ernie there

Dolph Starbeam · 24-03-2013 7:12pm

Dangerous weather in Florida so play is suspended. Hopefully it won't be too long. Both my picks looking good.

jjll · 24-03-2013 8:19pm

Treveo immelman saying play could be over today and might revert to 54 hole placings

fatherbuzcagney · 24-03-2013 8:34pm

backed olesen w/o tiger @10/1 e/w 1,2,3, for interest for night, need rose and few more to sh1te themselves to make few quid.....

Arnold Palmer Invitational

- Tiger Woods @ 3/1 (2.0 Pts WIN ONLY) Tiger has to be backed this week. 3/1 is short but I am confident he will have a good week at an event that he has won 7 times. And with McIlroy not playing I am sure Tiger will want to close the gap to get back to #1 in the world.

- Keegan Bradley @ 30/1 (1.0 Pts E/W) He is having a good year and has already placed twice for me this season, I think he is very close to a win, he has only played here once before in 2011 and had a bad time when he missed the cut. He is a different player now and if he has a good week with the putter then he will be right in contention.

A win and a place. Happy with that obviously. I'm more confused now ahead of the Masters though. Don't like Tigers fade and it will not suit Augusta.

jjll · 25-03-2013 8:57pm

Morroco is terrible field have to go francesco tweeted earlier driving and irons are great putting improving the greens here are like crazy golf theres a par 3 were the hole stays in same place all 4 days as it is so uneven

Well done yaya fade def not suit masters look at kaymar

yeah but Kaymer can't hit a stinger like Tiger which he can hit straight of a bit of draw,that said anyone who was considering backing Tiger this year should have got on long ago

Dolph Starbeam · 25-03-2013 11:56pm

And although I say Tigers fade or miss to the right won't suit Augusta if he putts like he has so far this year he will be up there again. He bet opponents up with his putter in his prime and he's doing it again now.

i agree,and you defo can't ever compare him and Kaymer.
If you know where to hit it at Augusta you can spray it a fair bit,that said i won't be backing him.
A fourball of Hunter mahon off the tee and Tiger finishing holes off would be unbeatable.I just think Hunter may not have the balls to win at Augusta but i do think he'll go well.

And Tiger knows where to hit it, and he knows the greens better than anyone, he is at 3/1 again, thats a little short for me at Augusta.

I still think Keegan Bradley will go well, will be having a good look at him again this week in the Shell Houston Open, will have a small bet on him @ 14/1 too. Shell will also be a good test and a guide for a few other players before the Masters including, McIlroy, Mickelson, Snedeker, Mahan, Westwood and Oosthuizen.

Someone who didn't play this week and won't be playing in Houston is Matt Kuchar. At 30/1 I think he is a great bet. He had a very good showing last year finishing T3. He has also played here the last few years so knows the place pretty well.

i have Kucher backed from Jan at 60/1,posted on the gamblin forum somewhere.Would be happy with a place,he's another one who could do with a lend of Tiger's balls

Very nice. He has to be confident after his start to the season. Hopefully he is hiding away somewhere fine tuning his game to suit Augusta.

jjll · 26-03-2013 1:17pm

Im saying kaymar tried to learn to fade everything to make masters cut but failed miserably and went back to old swing never meant to compare him and tiger il prob do betting without tiger fr masters

fangee · 26-03-2013 5:22pm

The SHELL HOUSTON OPEN this week.

I'm expecting Phil Mickelson to pick up the winners cheque this week and can't believe he is 16/1.

So if you fancy him for Augusta then get on before this week as his price will tumble.

if i'm not mistakin Kaymer has always been a natural fader,he was trying to hit a draw with his driver to suit the masters

That's not the first time I've heard that. He won the Shell in 2011 and then was allowed to go off at a crazy 6-1 for the masters. I think he then missed the cut.

I think Chris Kirk will play well this week. Might be worth a dabble at 66-1

Phil hasn't missed the cut at augusta since 1994,in 2011 he was T27.

if you look back at his form at augusta,i can see why the bookies went so short,he must look forward to this week more than any other every year.

bobwilliams · 27-03-2013 2:02am

Shell Houston Open
Going for a few outsiders and 2 fancied players.
Roberto Castro Top 20 6/1

Luke Gutrie @80/1 e/w,this guy will win this year(imo),the web.com is a great breading ground.Last year he played 10 times there, figures were 2,3,10,6,MC,1,1,MC,48,9.
He also came 3rd in the Honda already this year also.
He is destined for great things,this week is a bit of an unknown quantity but at that price i cant ignore it.

Hunter @17/1 (Betpack do enhanced win only odds)
Louis Oost @28/1 e/w,hope he can bounce back on a course that suits his skills perfectly.

Also added Senden @70/1 e/w,my local bookies doing top 6 places.happy days

I'm not sure what you mean ?

Nuri Sahin · 27-03-2013 4:13pm

Kirk is being tipped by a lot of people this week elsewhere too.. interesting

Keegan Bradley @ 14/1 - Current form we all know about and finished 4th on this track last year. Essential backing this week.

Thorbjorn Olesen @ 50/1 - promised myself after last season I'd back him more this season, but I haven't.. till now. Played well last week and his progression up the ranks is noteworthy.

Howjoe1 · 27-03-2013 5:15pm

Mahan & Mickelson both @ 16s will do for me this week as ew bets. First 6 places on offer with some bookies. Hopefully, will be in with a chance of a profit come Sunday.

lester76 · 27-03-2013 5:59pm

Gone with mickelson 16-1, carl pettersson 66-1, paul casey 150-1 after last wks picks ive gone ew on all 3 so fingers crossed..

Walter lemon · 27-03-2013 7:14pm

Chris kirk 40-1
J walker 40-1
Ryan palmer 80-1
J blixt 150-1
A baddelly 100-1
Russel henley 80-1

A hold load of hail mary's

Degag · 27-03-2013 10:26pm

Gone with Haas, Ogilvy, Woodland and Barnes.

redzerdrog · 27-03-2013 11:09pm

done quite a few bets this week but my main fancy is Steve Stricker, we saw with Tiger last week how crucial putting is in this game and imo there isn't many better than stricker at it

bobwilliams · 28-03-2013 1:37am

Gone with Rafa Cab Bello @28/1,win only

Dolph Starbeam · 28-03-2013 1:09pm

Shell Houston Open

1.0 Pts E/W Keegan Bradley @ 13/1 Keegan is going to win soon so I can't stop backing him now, he is in great form with 3 Top 10 finishes in his last 3 events. Long and accurate off the tea will help a lot on this long course.

1.0 Pts E/W Steve Stricker @ 14/1 Redstone will probably suit the long hitters more than someone like Stricker but he is accurate, like Bradley, which will help on a course with a lot of challenging bunkers. And as Tiger has shown over the last few weeks how important the putter is and there isn't many better than Stricker in that department.

0.5 Pts E/W Boo Weekley @ 100/1 Boo Weekley has had a good start to the year, one of the best iron players on tour if he can get close and leave himspef some easy putts he might have a chance. 100/1 looks good to me so having a small bet on him.

-4, -3 and -5, I'll take that going into the weekend. They all should be at least a couple strokes better so hopefully they will have good weekends.

It's all a tad mad eh.

Will the top 3 bottle it and come back to the field ?

Will Phil double bogey the 5th for the third day running ?

Was Steve Stricker asleep on the first day ?

I just can't see any of those top 5 as the winner but if any of them put in a round today they'll be clear.

If they set the course up for low scoring it could bring a lot of players back in.

It could be 3/1 the field on the final day with 10 players in contention.
