Feck my bets, I really hope he finds the couple of birdies he needs for the 59 here.

Last nights coverage was shocking, I know he played great but so sick of the Tiger Woods show. I didn't see any other golfer last night bar his playing partner and when he was finished they kept repeating his shots played.

Are you kidding me? Probably one of the best rounds of golf I have ever seen and you were sick of it? Some people are strange.

As I more or less said in the golf forum PGA tour thread, I can't comprehend how anyone didn't enjoy last night's viewing. Tiger Woods show, sure, but great drama from start to finish. The par on 18 was insane let alone all the birdies.

Don't get me wrong it was phenomenal golf and a joy to watch but would have been nice to see some of the other golfers who were playing after woods finished his round. Also you have to admit they do show woods all the time even when he's playing ****e or do you not think so?

I didn't say i didn't enjoy watching it, i would watch golf all day but it just would have been nice to see some of the other golfers.

True, but there can be exceptions I feel and last night was certainly one, especially considering the scoring Tiger aside wasn't great. Merrick was the second best score yesterday with a round of -4. A couple of players shot -3.

We also got to see a fair bit of Matsuyama since he was in Tiger's group which is no bad thing as he's a very talented lad.

I didn't say you didn't enjoy it btw.

Okay I agree with that it would have been stupid for them not to cover the footage of Tiger storming ahead. Matsuyama is definitely one to watch for the future, although I did say that about Rickie Fowler years ago and have lost more money backing him. I wonder will he ever win a major?

Out of all the people who comment here on this thread, who actually plays golf? I personally don't it's just pitch and putt for me.

If Fowler wins one, I'm convinced he'll win a second if not more. Talent is without question. He's won at a difficult course in Quail Hallow which could easily host a USPGA or US Open, and which has one of the stronger fields all year out of the regular events.
He's also shown he can compete on links courses going back to his amateur days and Open performances.

I play golf a few times a week when over in Ireland.

In NY I get a round in once a week, two if I'm lucky. Thankfully there's par 3 course where you can play late during the night thanks to the floodlights that keeps me ticking over.

Par 3 at night sounds amazing

Not half as much as I was

Nuri Sahin

Stenson is as low as 28/1 in some of the big name bookies now.

Simpson out to 80/1 on Betfair too.

Kinda curious to see how Dufner does tonight, his game should suit Oak Hill, likewise Bradley. Zach Johnson's form is something to note too.

As PP is offering 6 places just done mine for the PGA.

P Casey @ 80
Z Johnson @ 50
J Day @ 40
J Dufner @ 40

Nuri Sahin

Best price for Dufner and Bradley is 50/1 for next week, I may just flip a coin on this one.

Don't torture yourself. Just split your stakes.

After a bit of grub and a cold one. Gone with Bradley.

I was leaning on Bradley all day tbh, proven Major winner and someone I've quite regularly bet on albeit in the past two years more so than this year.

Nuri Sahin

Been a very good few weeks. Another 2nd place and E/W money.

lmao

Heads up to anybody who took Bradley or Stenson pre tournament with Paddy Power, they will get their outright stake back as Woods won.

Dolph Starbeam

USPGA

After an early look these prices catch my eye. Will probably add another couple before Thursday.

Zach Johnson @ 40/1

Sergio Garcia @ 50/1

Bill Haas @ 60/1

David Lynn @ 300/1

Zach Johnson is 50's and Sergio is 55-1 with PP. Haas is also 66-1, better prices but for 6 places.

Ye I just checked oddschecker after I posted that, Haas is 66/1 too, Boyles normally aren't so far behind with there odds on the golf.

Jason Day gone out to 50 now, from 40 yesterday. Might have to stick Poulter in as well with De Laet, will be sick if either win and have been backing them this year.

Nuri Sahin

Very rare I look at the 3 ball market but a friend brought it to my attention, Merrick to beat Ogilvy and Rumford the pick of the bunch for me @ 15/8.

Rough looks lovely btw, this is Charles Howell just off the green at no.9...

The_Kew_Tour

My first bet all year in Golf and this is only cause I won on a tip today.

Cant wait till back working and can make few quid from this again

all exchanges win/place

Adam Scott
Keegan Bradley(got him 2 years ago:D)
Bill Haas
Harris English

will add at least 1 more player before Thursday and maybe 2.

Hope everyone has been kicking ass this year

CriticEyes

Lads a quick question. Is this a good bet? Just got it from PP.

Woods, McIlroy, Mickelson, Rose, Scott, Snedeker or Stenson to win the USPGA Championship @ 2/1.

Decent?

what seem like great odds in golf betting to one person will be sh*te to the next, its all personal opinion....my two cents, all good players with good form of late bar mcilroy, wouldn't be surprised to see any of them win. with such short odds your stake would want to be substantial for it to be worth it. and if it was substantial, id be sweating for such a big field and so many in with a shout....so in a word; nope, it's a lousy bet, but as i say, thats IMO. i'd maybe back it at 5 or 6-1 at the very least.

Mr.Prodston

So far I've made small each way bets on the following: (all PP)

Stenson 25/1
Dufner 40/1
Day 50/1
Colsaerts 150/1
DeLaet 200/1
Donaldson 200/1

I'm mulling over both Zach 50/1 and Dustin Johnson 45/1 too, will make a call tomorrow and will probably end up with both if I can't make up my mind :pac: Bubba @60/1 looks enticing too and Matsuyama 100/1 bailed me out at the Open too so may deserve another shot.
