Casey is -3 after 4, I was tempted but Billy Horschel was 100/1 so plumped for that. Scoring does look good, quite a few people are 2 or 3 under after only a few holes.
NSS, I reckon you're thinking of Shinnecock, I've loved the two US Opens I've seen from there. He also won at Southern Hills, Vijay and Kaymer have won the only two majors here.
Backed Bomber at 16.5 with 50 squid- profit as 805, Betfair currently offering me 160 cash out with profit of 110
Will leave it to least the end of Round 2- truth be told I know that if he has a sizeable lead by end of round, I'd be tempted to let it play the whole way!

Nice work - make sure you cash out before the final round starts as we all know what will happen on the last day!
I didn't bother with my Day bet, nor my Finau 120/1 E/W when he was on my short list! I've had him in my Fantasy team a few times and he's always good for a top 25, obviously he's exceeded expectations this week.
Day and a 2 shot head start against Spieth though is compulsive viewing. I also find it interesting that it's playing easier than St Andrew's when it's 500 yards longer.
From a financial point of view would love to see Jordan make it 3 majors this year but feel it may be Jason's day so to speak and certainly wouldn't begrudge him his first major.
Well done Jason a deserved winner. Disappointed that Jordan didn't quite pull it off but what a year he has had. At least Brooks Keopka sneaked into joint 5th so I broke even on the week.
One thing that this year has shown is just what a good potential team the US has for the 2016 Ryder Cup. The Americans now hold 12 of the top 23 in the world rankings as follows - Spieth, Watson, Furyk, D Johnson, Fowler, Z Johnson, Walker, Kuchar, Koepka, Reed, J B Holmes, Horschel, and this doesn't include the likes of Phil or Tiger or improving young players such as Henley, Steele, Finau & English. At this rate we will do well to retain the cup over there in 2016.
RC is completely different kettle of fish- they are all quality golfers but the likes of Furyk, Watson and the Johnson's wouldn't worry the Europeans in RC format one bit

I've piled into that 12/1!!
2nd, 3rd and 12th respectively when the event was last played in Whistling Straits in 2010.
I would have done Lowry but can't see him winning twice in a week.
So my money is going on Brandon Grace.
Will be interesting to see how Rory goes but I think it's asking a lot for him to be in contention come Sunday.

Rose to finish top 5
J. Thomas to finish top 10
