    If anybody reads the Racing Post tips tomorrow can they try and remember the selections and stick them up in here ?


    Struggling to pick between Bubba, Point and Glover.

    I can't get my bet on 'til Thursday so if the price comes in too much on one player it'll make my decision easier.

    Wells Fargo Championship

    Quail Hollow Club
    Par 72
    7,492 Yards
    Course Record: 62 - Rory McIlroy


    There has been 10 different winners in the past 10 Wells Fargo Championships. Anthony Kim (2008), Rory McIlroy (2010) and Rickie Fowler (2012) all won their first PGA Tour events here.

    • Boo Weekley @ 50/1 Boo Weekley has been in good form this season. He had another really good showing last week in New Orleans, finishing Tied 6th at -14. If it wasn't for his poor 3rd round he would have been in with a great chance to claim victory. Hopefully this week will be his week.
    • D.A. Points @ 40/1 Another man having a great season, already with one victory and came very close last week to another win, he did brilliantly to follow Horschel almost step for step, just missing out by one shot in the end. Points should have claimed victory here last year, he ended up losing out in a Playoff to Rickie Fowler.
    • Rory McIlroy @ 9/1 A win only bet on McIlroy here, he has a good history here and if he is going to get his year back on track it has a better chance of happening here than anywhere else.

    I have ended up selecting Glover for my main bet.

    I found it hard to separate Glover, Simpson, Haas and Points so I've had small stakes on the other 3 just in case.

    Paddy Power paying 6 places.

    There is another bookie (baroneracing) paying 6 places but I can't recommend them any more due to recent bad experience.

    I seen your post in the racing forum so know what you are reffering to but if they are offering better prices on any of your selections fangee then back with them, dont let pride cost you money imo.

    Poulter and Johnson withdraw from Wells Fargo. Probably got a lot to do with how bad the greens are this week

    I think they normally follow boylesports or paddy power re prices so they are never better odds than any other bookie.

    The greens are going to be a huge problem.

    Cheers dude and thanks.

    Glad I backed Simpson (stakes saver) before the post came out.

    If Watson can string 4 solid days together he has a chance but I can't see that happening.

    Just wondering because there's so many different event's on this week.I was thinking of having a look at some other tour's but I know little enough about the main tour's as it is so might leave it for another time.

    Indonesian Masters is on this week also, some well known players like els and clarke in the field.

    Really nice picks that. Simpson and Watney are regulars of mine so I'll have something on them this week that's for sure.

    I noticed that earlier in the week now you mention it but I thought it might have been some obscure event as only Skybet had the market up at the time.

    With the green's in poor shape would it be a good idea to look at driving and approach stat's a little bit more than favoring putting ability?Weekly is on Betfair @90 and with his decent approach and driving work I think it might be value but with the green's in bit's I suppose it will affect the best fairway player's also.

    First two firms to price it up are Skybet and Corals.

    Both have Lucas Glover at 66/1.

    If you fancy him I'd take that price because I don't think it will be available in two days.

    Good call,Into 50s now at best.

    Well from previous experiences players, in lots of different sports, seem to perform very well just after births or deaths. It might be a pressure/perspective thing but as soon as she pops I'll be backing him in the next event he plays.

    The Bill Haas train has certainly derailed. Right in time for when I back him. Just had a 9 on the 7th to put him 8 over. Early trip home for Bill.
