as with the US open (and the other majors) i have small each/way bets on the golf.
this year i am backing (win market and place market on betfair) hunter mahan 33-1, retief goosen 54-1, mike wier 119-1 and rory mcilroy 39-1 (all 4 of which gave me a good run for my money in the US open).
also backing david duval 159-1 and chad campbell 309-1.

c'mon lifers, forget about takeministration and tell us your winners.

    Won big time 2 years ago with Padraig @ 25-1 and last year at 16's. Not sure if he can do it again, might be worth e/w with Paddy Power paying out to 7th place.

    If the weather is bad his chances improve.

    Stricker 28/1
    Scott 60/1
    Zach Johnson 66/1

    K.Perry

    Probably be some American you've never heard of before. Or Harrington for the hat-trick.

    Meant to be going tomorrow, so will tell you after I've had a closer look at them...

    I'm on Betfair:

    Westwood @ 40
    Stenson @ 44
    Fisher (hope his wife doesn't give birth during the Tourney) @ 48
    Duval @ 130

    Jumped the gun on Fisher and Duval who are trading at bigger prices than I took a week ago.

    Just got back from a couple of days of watching practice up there and i have to say poulter and mcilroy look in great shape and were both hitting the ball very well but they are both on really short odds. 2 players i would recommend, after seeing them out on the course...are Justin Rose, who i believe you can get odds on him at 110/1 or Zach Johnson.

    Westward's flying at the moment playing with Tiger Woods and a Japanese feller Ishikawa, what absolutely belting pair of strides he's wearing! I knew I seen them before, he's had them taken in a few sizes ;)

    The pocket says Fisher or Westwood, the Heart says Tom.

    I dont think it'll matter as he's just taken an 8 and is back at level par.

    If Watson wins this (and its a big if, especially the way he's started and the way Westwood is playing) I think it will be the best sporting story ever. I'll probably cry!
  • Super_horns

    Westwood to drop a shot?

    Seems like once somebody gains a little advantage they let it slip.

    Jesus wept - Watson leading by one going to the seventeenth!!!

    Westwood and Wood will be annoyed at getting their bogeys on the last hole but then I guess Watson will be even more gutted (albeit having won 5 times before!) if he doesn't win the play-off.
