Irish Open - Selections & In-Play Thread

Aidric

The Irish Open returns to Killarney, albeit with the prize fund sliced in half since 3's decision to end their sponsorship. It will still be a treat to have two of this years major winners in the field, even better that they are Irish. If the weather is similar or better then last year then the crowds should turn out in great numbers.

My selections for this week are Jacquelin (40/1) & McGrane (100/1).

Tee Times

Donaldson at 25's is terrible odds, they have him priced the same as Clarke!!

The bloke could win but how he isn't at least 66 I don't know

tang1

Simon Dyson €5 to win at 25/1. E/Wr's Richard Finch at 50's and Gonzalo Fernandez Castano at 125's.

Richard Finch came second last week and feels comfortable in Ireland(winner a couple of years ago) so I will be taking what I can get on him and I also fancy Michael Campbell to put 4 rounds together for an each way( also a winner in Ireland)

I expect GMAC to try his hardest to win also but odds are very short, an outside punt on Shane Lowry and Chris wood maybe.

Speak Now

McIlroy 5/1 is poor price really.
This will be his 150th start on European tour.
2 wins to date!

Might back Simon Dyson and Chris Wood.

Degag

Gone with Dyson and Finch and Phil in America.

Profondo Rosso

The draw for the tee-times are all terrible

bailey99

Marcel Siem 175/1
Rhys Davies 75/1

According to the European Tour site it's his 88th start as a pro. And I doubt he played 62 events as an amateur


He played his 100th professional event worldwide at the start of the year. He is on about his 110th event as a pro and 88th on the Euro Tour (as i said above)

Epic fail from me, for some reason they added up his rankings in Race2Dubai over 5 years and put the number beside events played (87)

TheRoomWrecker

my bets

Paddy H at 18/1 (after his long chats with Dr. Bob) 20e to win

"The hair" Robert Rock 33/1 10e ew

Michael "the come back" Campbell 200/1:rolleyes: you never now 10e ew

Its going to be a birdiefest and typically PH does not do well in tournaments where the winner comes in 20+ under.

Thepoet85

Not sure who to do, but Donaldson and Dyson seem to be on the verge of claiming a title sooner or later so I'm try them e/w.

Should be good entertainment, but think McIlroy and McDowell are out a few hours before the coverage starts which is a shame.

chalkie 501

Followed rory for the first 8 holes today and he was -5 for them,could have been -8(he missed 3putts inside 15 ft)...if conditions stay the same he'll win it by a mile.
Robert jan derksen seemed to be playing well,@80/1 might be worth a fiver e/w

staker

Lads I'm heading back to Killarney on Saturday,herself wants to know what time she's to be ready at. I presume it would be a mid-morning tee off schedule?

I'd imagine play will start around 8ish,the last groups normally tee-off around 1

niallo27

Stuck 20 e/w on Robert rock, seems like good value

Heading there tomorrow told the missus she's not allowed come as she will get tired after about 2 hours...............I told her this is critical to my future golfing genius:D

SSK

Small e/w stakes on Finch, Wood and Bourdy...hard to look beyond McIlroy for the win though.

I got the starts wrong but the wins right.

Quail Hollow isn't on European tour.

Rory takes an early lead, looking ominous!
