    So backed Cam Smith to win it and for a bogey free round @ 25's and each way for third round lead 18/1. Did Brooks for bogey free 9/1 and 3rd round lead 15/2 each way.

    Tony Finua @50/1 5places looks a decent in play bet

    Backed him myself 50/1 in Boyles last night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,947 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Finau is not a good enough putter to do it imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    A certain book seems to be a slight jiffy slow on price adjusts, when coupled with a certain live data feed.
    Hence Cantlay was very recently available @100(5pl) but moved to 80's seconds ago.

    It's a small 120sec window usually, but still a window of opportunity all the same.
    Much more adventerous (and unlikely) was Glover @501 (now 400) sitting on a small mixed e/w treble.

    Have a feeling it will bunch up at the top today with big names, only to desend into random chaos tommorow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 471 ✭✭PhuckHugh22


    Putting is the most over rated of the stats. Finau while not the best putter. Is hardly a bad. A way better ball striker than a lot of those in front of him on the board. Would like to see some of the SG stats for this week but think the 50/1 is at least 10 points bigger than I'd have it.

    Putting is important at the Open, on links courses.
    His putting is awful, if he was a half decent putter he'd have about 10 wins by now.
    I'm a big fan of the man but his putter is seriously holding him back.

    Pretty similar putting stats this year to the pre tournament favorite.

    Yeah and he hasn't putted well. He said it himself after his round yesterday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 471 ✭✭PhuckHugh22


    Not saying it's not important just imo it is not as relevant as ball striking(or tee to green).
    Anyway it's not like he is a 4/1 shot. 50/1 is too big for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,103 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    I like the 4/5 on winning score higher than 10.5.

    Also with the good conditions today I like the 11/1 on Fleetwood and 28/1 on Holmes for a bogey free round for interest.

    Over 10.5 should be home and hosed despite the weather incoming tomorrow. Fair play to Fleetwood no bogies was impressive, pity about JB.

    Went for Rahm and McIlroy as my main. Then my usuals of poulter, Lowry and fowler. All bets various amounts e/w


    I'm a very happy camper going into the final day
    1. Shane €5 e/w @ 45/1
    T6. Fowler €5 e/w @ 35/1
    T8. Rahm €10 e/w @ 14/1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,830 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Top Australasian: Fox

    You the man Ryan.:D TBH I had pretty much given up on the bet with Cameron Smith at -4 after 14 (Fox finished -2) but when I scanned down the leaderboard half an hour later I couldn't find him:P, must have fallen apart over the last few holes...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,750 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    Where did you get him @ 50?

    Boyles

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,424 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    The wife had Lowry and Reed each way. I has Fowler. About 200 quid up all in all, we did alright


  • Registered Users Posts: 471 ✭✭PhuckHugh22


    Trying to take a few flyers on the chasing pack going into the weekend. Want to take on some of the top few as think they are far to short.

    That being said I think Lowry should be favorite so have backed him at 15/2.

    DJ at 30/1 5 places
    Xander at 40/1 5 places
    Finau at 50/1 5 places.

    I do have JT pre tournament at 33/1 10 places so chance of a place on him. With an extremely outside win chance.

    This worked out quite well in the end.
    Full place on Finau at 50/1 and Lowry win only at 15/2.

    JT should have been a full place as well if not for making clean **** of the 17th with a triple :o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,947 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I did Thomas and Matsuyama for the St Jude and Martin Trainer @ 200/1 for the Barracuda, he likes high altitude.
    Did a very small double on Berger and Putnam to reverse titles, Putnam won the Barracuda last year and Berger the St Jude which was not a wgc event.

    DJ won the St Jude last year. Berger won it 2 years ago and the year before that.

    A bit short, but still a 20% price advantage on one certain book with Koepka@12 (stnd. 6pl 1/5).

    Meanwhile, elsewhere BS are generous these days with e/w e.g. 8pl (Barracuda): Saunders@51.

    If one certain single book wants to offer a free 20% price bounty on the current WR1, it would be rude not to.

    Small each way bet on Horschel at 50's

    Was right in contention until a terrible R4..

    Gonna stick with him this week, only available around 20/1 but not many others stand out bedside Webb Simpson who is very short


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,010 ✭✭✭bren2001


    Went for small bets on Todd, Fitzpatrick, Phil (novelty), and Simpsons e/w for the US Open. Backed JT to win.

    I'll enjoy Winged Foot tearing them apart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,947 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Really like Matsuyama, Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood and Kaymer in this.
    Of the big outsiders, the fourth member of that great college group Brandon Wu could be dangerous and Rasmus Hojgaard has been the star of European golf since the restart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭finglashoop


    Matsuyama
    Rose
    Fowler

    Small each way

    Mcilroy watson and dechambeau to miss cut


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,078 ✭✭✭IAMAMORON


    Casey, bubba, phil, kaymar and An Byeong Hun.

    All win only on the exchanges, i will wait until sat/sun before dropping the wads on someone in the mix .

    Blew a fiver on lowry as well, I would hate to be the chunt that didn't back him either.

    He hasnt a hope either. Good luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,830 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Nibbling at Wu e/w and Kaymer top European

    FINAU + MATSUYAMA

    finau simpson xander.

    Why is simpson being tipped? accuracy?

    Sami Valimaki 57 at 906 for me.

    Sami Valimaki 57 at 906 for me.

    Another good young golfer and played pretty well after a bad start in the Andalucia Masters which would suggest he can handle a test like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭Gweedling


    Bryson & Xander to both make top 10 10/1
    Xander top 5 10/3
    Wu EW 150/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 348 ✭✭Raving_Magic


    Got Brandon Wu at 150/1 for first round leader. -1 after 7 so starting to get sweaty but this golf course would cause all sorts of mayham


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,569 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Schauffele & Berger e/w
    Cut to be +8 or worse (Course is playing worryingly easy so far given all the talk this week so this could be dust)


    Schauffele over Bryson R1
    JT over Rory R1
    Tiger to miss the cut

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,424 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Only twice in the last 10 years or so have either myself or the wife not backed Patrick Reed (purely out of lack of fundage) - The time he won the Masters and the current US Open. You all know what's going to happen dont you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,830 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Final day two-ball acca: Finau/Fowler/Howland/Reed/Schauffele/Simpson


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,078 ✭✭✭IAMAMORON


    This is looking like a race to the bottom.

    Everyone hitting over par at the moment?

    70 -75 looks a half decent score?

    Due to lockdown and different time of the year, I plan on watching every min of action for the first time ever:
    5 points Win on Ram 12/1 (PP Boost)
    1 point e/w on Reed 33/1 (PP Boost)
    1 point e/w on Fleetwood 40/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭CSWS101


    Bubba & Hatton are tempting me


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Scoundrel


    I backed DJ Wolff and a long shot on Corey Connors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,947 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I haven't decided on anybody yet but Cantlay is definitely on my radar. Adam Scott seems to be rounding into form at the right time, Jason Day too.
    I seen an interview with Tony Finau where he was discussing having Covid and he had a tough enough time with it, I just felt he seemed really focused in that interview which is something I always felt he was missing.
    Brooks showed a bit of form in Houston so can't be dismissed, DJ obviously in good form.
    I really hope that DeChambeau doesn't win this. I'd hate to see this course beaten by length.
    Webb Simpson is another that needs serious consideration as do Justin Thomas' and Xander Schauffele but I'm not mad about any of those three in Majors.
    Shocking that Berger and Hovland didn't get invites. It's ridiculous that the no.13 and no. 23 in the world are not in the field through no fault of their own.
