    My Picks for the open, all each way are.

    Justin Rose 20/1
    Adam Scot 22/1
    Camilo Villegas 250/1
    Jordan Spieth 125/1

    And one big fat bet on Tiger Woods to win

    My usual 2 for the majors, Jason Day and Lee Westwood, one of them will eventually repay my faith although Day's double bogey start doesn't help!

    Also done Gareth Maybin at 300/1, way too big a price for someone who has shown decent form the last couple of weeks. Sergio as first round leader at 33/1.

    For the outright win I have:

    Zach Johnson 80/1
    Dustin Johnson 40/1
    Henrik Stenson 40/1
    Luke Donald 30/1
    Sergio Garcia 25/1

    I've got €1 on each as I decided I'd go a bit wild for this one! :cool:

    Have Scott @ 22/1, McDowell @ 25/1 and McIlroy @ 28/1 as my main bets. Then Harrington @ 66/1 and Oosthuizen @ 70/1 a bit smaller. All bets each way. From McIlroy, McDowell and Harrington if one of them is right they'll be challenging. Scott my main fancy but who knows.

    Also backed Jimenez and Cabrera for first round leader at 100/1 each. Least Jimenez has given me a run for my money this morning.

    If I miss the start (often do on the PGA) I wait till sat morning to see how it's set up. You lose a fair bit of value in placing once the first ball is hit.

    I backed Mahan, Spieth, Stenson and De Laet pre-round. Backed Wiesberger and Bjorn in running. Best of luck to all.

    Think it's down to PP discretion*, they don't need to refund on either.
    Once they tee off on the 1st hole it's fair game.

    *I'm guessing the refund on Hansen will be classed as some form of PR, I'd say the bets wagered on him were minimal in the grand scheme of things.
    Refunding on Oosthuizen might have been too costly for a bit of PR.

    PP posted on twitter that refunding on Hanson was a "goodwill gesture".

    As mentioned above, there would have been a fair chunk of money on Oosthuizen so would have been too costly i reckon.

    Powers return millions in bets regularly so I doubt they are too exposed to oostie. I would get on to their website and live chat with them. If you ask nicely they can give you a matching free bet if you are lucky and they are in a good mood :)

    They return millions, but they don't return millions without a lot of thought going into it.
    I doubt there were too exposed to oostie, I'd be worried if they were.
    They plan refunds as PR stunts, they are calculated and measured, they don't operate an open pot for people with hard luck stories to dip into.

    You won't lose anymore by asking I suppose.
