Skybet are paying e/w to 12th place. In light of that I've done the following -: Hovland 22/1, Koepka 14/1, Fitzpatrick 22/1, Rahm 9/1, Rose 75/1, Rory 9/1 and Fleetwood 28/1. I also did £5.00 on Scheffler as my Hotshot pick at 5/1 outright winner. However, irrespective of whether he wins or not, I'll get a £1 free bet for every birdie he gets in Round 1, so hopefully if he gets 5 birdies I'll get my stake back.
Scheffler is a worthy favourite but odds of 4/1 on a golf tournament featuring the worksd’s finest is simply not worth it. I have modest wagers on Koepka, Homa and Cameron Young with a daft ew on Bradley. But you could pick any of about 40 who have a reasonable chance. Matsuyama featuring strongly among the pundits. Won before and in great form.
PS. For anyone minded to have a flutter on Rickaaaaaaay Fowler, forget it as he won the fun par 3 comp yesterday and no one ever wins it followed by the real thing.
My team:: W.Clark win only (freebet) risky as should avoid debutants but good price Xander EW Hovland EW Scott EW Theegala EW Rahm first round leader all very small this week, i'll enjoy it and still hard to see Scottie not winning but at those odds not going to bother.
I once saw a clip of Tiger Woods playing keepy uppy with a Golf ball and a golf club which impressed me, and Rory Gallagher as a child hitting ball after ball into his washing machine, or maybe it was a tumble dryer. Oops sorry, it was Rory Mackilroy, but at least they are both ☘️
I’ll tell you something, I’ve watched the first half hour of live coverage and the amount of twatting around on the greens (sorry, aimpoint) is giving me a headache already. Van Royen and A N Other just took about ten minutes to take two putts and two tap ins on a par three. No wonder folk have stopped watching golf in their droves.
Well Scheffler didn't let me down, as I said did him as a 'Hotshot' bet with sky bet £5.00 @ 5/1 as outright winner, but the bet also included a £1 free bet for every birdie he got in Round 1! So I got £6 in free bets now and he's still handily placed to win outright! Result!

This.
The R&A changed the rules the other year so that you only have 3 mins to look for a ball & not 5. Those 2 mins is not whats slowing the play in golf. It's the endless checking & re-checking the line on a putt and also the amount of time it takes a professional to actually chose & club when on the fairway & to then play their shot.
Yeh it was awful. His shot into 11 was just so brainless, and straight after watching Scottie hit a safe, sensible shot low into the wind and out to the right to take the water out of play.
Rory just makes so many ridiculous mistakes for someone of his talent.

If only he had hit level par he'd only be 5 strokes back. No birdies at all today. Poor.
Cant look past the top 3 Americans. Probably Scheffler to win it.
Why on earth would you let him start sodding about with your swing a week before a major?
