On Day myself and think yesterday's match could stand to him. He was under pressure a few times coming from thre down and putting second to halve a few times and did well I thought. Bottle shouldn't be a problem based on that performance although I didn't see any of the earlier holes. A worthy favourite I think

Think Harris has a great chance from here,just stuck a tenner on @12's

Doing a bit of a random bet,

1e trebles and 1e accum (total of 5e) on the 1st hole to be tied in each of the 3rd round matches (5/6 they're priced at). if three come in then its slight profit (6e returned), if all 4 come in then it returns about 35e.

I've grouped the following games
English, Garcia, Mahan, Dubuisson

and then grouped
Simpson, Els, Day, Kuchar.

Most of these guys have been parring that hole over the first couple of rounds..just a handful of birdies among them.

What did he do? Was just saying to couple of friends that I have always thought Sergio was an abrasive character and bit of a sore loser. Was surprised to see him doing a post match interview with Fowler because first it's unusual to see a double interview and second because I would usually expect him to sulk or moan.

Sorry if that sounds anti Garcia. Just thought for a long time he needed a lesson in sportsmanship.

Plus one. Tough competitor. Does not know when beaten. Would have him as Ryder Cup wild card even if he Was ranked 200th in the world

on the previous hole he delayed play unduly for some reason...not sure what the exact reason was tbh

Threw €25 on Spieth @ 4/1 there before I end up regretting it (knowing my luck, he'd win if I didn't put anything on him!), already do somewhat when I considered him yesterday @ 10/1.

He puts in a bad one every week, he will put 4 good rounds together at some stage but he is constantly underpriced

I only saw bits of the match but it looked like Speith was losing the plot with himself at times, I know he is only a kid but he a lot of growing up to do

bobwilliams

What's the story,any more matches today,

Both semi and final tomorrow asaik.

Just after 2 o clock Irish Time.

Nuri Sahin

Well, that was a bit crap. Only saw their final hole in the pub and facepalmed big time suffice to say. Glad it was Ernie who beat him out of anyone though.

Good luck to those with bets still contesting today.

Final hole alone, his body language was terrible. Was like he had given up after his approach shot.

Is the final just 18 holes lads?

Gone with 5 with the hope of being able to cash out if they're all going well - nothing too outrageous

Mahan
Kuchar
Donald
Stricker
Stenson

Others contemplated were Kaymer, Dubuisson, and G-Mac...but then noticed they were all in the same bracket as Mahan so left them out

Pretty annoyed Dubuisson didnt make my shortlist!! Backed him last week too!

bradlente

No luck for me,All the prices I backed went in afterwards though.Can't complain if that happens every week.
