    I'm thinking Chris Wood e/w at 50/1. Back of the net, to mix my metaphores.

    this is a toughy,backed Kevin Streelman last year in this,he shat his jocks in the last round after leading (i think)going into it
    I'm givin him another chance,a couple of missed cuts but that's ok,had a few weeks off,main reason he struggles is his bad Par 5 performance,this par 70 track should help him(although i know there is 1 par 4 of 520 odd yards)hope it's downhill for Kev's sake
    €5 e/w PaddyP @100/1

    Els to win @14/1 and RJ Derksen @125/1 e/w might scrape into a place

    Good odds on Rory at 15/1 and Lee westwood 14/1 worth a bet

    Went for Scott Verplank @ 40's in the Byron Nelson.

    As for Wentworth, haven't decided yet, but leaning towards Paul Casey for interest mainly. Might see how the first day or two plays out and get in somewhere else

    In the U.S already backed Kevin Streelman
    Added Ben Crane to that,he has the game for this course and his confidence level has never been higher

    Doesnt clear it up.

    Either way, I did an O'Hair and Westwood e/w double, then Westwood to win, and also Casey and Mannassero each way. All small bets.

    I went Casey 16's and Harrington @ 22's. The latter has started well, here's hoping he stays in contention

    Already had Verplank @ 40's for the Bryon Nelson

    Good bet. You'll be sick as a dog if they both win though!

    Harrington with his traditional final stretch fold. A treble at the par five 17th ffs.

    Ross Fisher had 9 birdies :eek: in his 4 under 67.

    I notice Els had a bogey 6 at 18 :) hope he didn't find his new ditch ;)

    As for Harrington, nothing surprises me. He mmust have gone out of bounds down the left with his tee shot. Even still it's bad.

    Good start by Harrington, -2 through eight. Hopefully Willett will come back to the field in his back nine and tighten things up.
    Looks like a couple of big names missing the cut if it stays at +1 which it probably will; Westwood, Thaidee, Stenson, Karlsson, Poulter, Lowry (:P).

    Lowry finished with a birdie to get back inside the cut, after a 7 at the 17th that showed great nerve. Deserves his place at the weekend to be fair after that.

    the cut might (hopefully get to + 2), a few mins ago the +2 crowd were T65, back to Tied 67th now.

    Yeah Harrington looking very good. If it wasn't for that 17th he'd be leading now. He looked composed today and didn't need to do as much scrambling as yesterday. He's the best player up there at the moment and I think he can take it home from here. He really does love the tricky courses, those events where you know that nobody is going to run away with it. He just hangs in there and hopefully this weekend he'll make less mistakes than anyone else.

    On a side note, but not too much to the side, I've gotten on Harrington's back before about his ability to throw tournaments away on the last day but I would love to see him win this week. The way he was teaching the down syndrome kids a few things and also how he didn't complain or bitch about the course like a few others did (spoilt brat casey in particular)

    Westwood had a go as well.
    ‘I used to love the fact that you could stand on the 12th tee on the old Wentworth four behind and you still thought you had a chance, but not now,’ he said. ‘Now the 12th has been changed from a par five to a par four. You’ve got the 16th hole, where the green is such that the tournament director will struggle to find four pin positions this week that are fair.
    You’ve got the par-five 17th where the run-off to the right of the green is simply too severe. Then you’ve got the 18th, where the green is too small and at a wrong angle. ‘I was playing with Oli Wilson who went for it, hit a career second shot, and still didn’t stay on the green. You could tell by the reaction of the crowd that hardly anyone had gone for it all day. They were so excited to see someone take it on.’



    Round of the day from Harrington has him right in the mix, good to see. I thought the cut mark would have stayed at +1 earlier today but the greens really dried out as the afternoon went on. It will be a difficult weekend for all who made the cut. -10 Could win it.
