I think I might throw on some decent money on McIlroy to win the USPGA at 8/1. I think his game is there and If he gets his putter going then I don't think any person in the field will be able to compete with him.

I just have a feeling it's going to click for him in the next few weeks and watching him today, If he putted properly then he could have easily shot something similar to Stenson's.

PARlance

Didn't fancy anyone enough to give my money to the bookies but picked up €50 and my 5th Major in 3 years thanks to Sergio and Soren finishing in the Top 10*.

*6 off us throw in €10 for each Major, we then use a virtual €10 as we wish, based on the bookies odds. We pay out on T10 to keep more interest in it and that helped me win with Soren T9 at 150/1. Free pints the next time I meet the lads.

Beaulieu

Matt Southgate 11/1 for a Top 20 thanks to PaddyP. €5 only but sure it covered everything else. Cashed out on Colesarts early and put it on Hatton e/w at 125/1 - miniscule payback but at least better than cash out value alone.

I wouldn't go near him unless he went back to cack. You don't miss short putts like he missed when you go left under right

How about trying to figure out who will win this week at Baltrusol ?
It is going to be hot and humid -- spectators being advised to bring there own water ( +salt ) .
Shane Lowry might consider shaving off that beard to avoid heat stroke .
Often won by an unheralded American ?
Maybe Kevin Chappel?

I think Tony Finau is an interesting e/w for this

Rikand

How are we fixed this weekend ?

I'm doing my usual picks of people I want to win rather than people I think will actually win

Sergio
Patrick Reed
Shane Lowry
Keegan Bradley
Andy Sullivan
The Beef
Rich Beem
Rocco Mediate


All with various values of E/W

dball

JB Holmes - 2 top 5's this year in the majors,
4th in the masters and 3rd in the Open.
66-1 bet E/W

....and missed the cut in the US open. JB is a head wrecker!

galwaylad14

Not pushing the boat out too much really but gone with Rory, DJ and Kuchar. All e/w.

Just can't look past either Rory or DJ to be honest with their ball striking on what will be a tough course given it's length. Kuchar having a very good year and is good value at 45/1 I think.

RoadRunner

Lowry & Jb Holmes both ew.
Rory round 1 leader.

4068ac1elhodqr

World Under-12 champion McKibbin is playing in his locality at the NI Open, 1/1000 odds or thereabouts.
Stranger things have happened, like then Happy Gilmore won in that tv documentary about golf.
Let's hope he has PokemonGo switched off on the mobile. 66/1 for a top10 finish also with Sky.
Hope the young fella does well in all seriousness, a future champion anyway.

I have Finau (125/1) on an e/w for this and.....

• Tyrell Hatton (150/1) - I like the cut of his jib, tied 5th at The Open and has been plodding along with a certain consistency
  
• Brandon Stone (400/1) Thought this was excellent value - former top college golfer heading back to the States for his PGA debut.
  
• Bill Haas (100/1) - came across as a really nice guy in The Open

I also took Fowler at 25/1 and again when his odds went out to 35/1.....and Day to try and make sure I get some money back.

Eric the Eagle

All each way bets:

Garcia
Kuchar
Haas
Holmes
Fowler - First Round Leader

Johnny_Fontane

JB
An
Justin Thomas
Lovemark
Danny Lee
and Submergio

All 6 make the cut. Wonder what odds I'd have got on that. Hard to see a winner from them with the quality up there at the top.

sunbabe08

mickelson, Beef, stenson, Furyk


lowry, garcia and johnson gone:(

dennyire

Ended up with a nett profit of 20 euro for my 3 10 euro bets,,,always wait for last day and take best price available for leading contenters,,,if you time it right should come out with a small profit,,,,never going to make you rich,,,, but you wont lose s a fortune either

Armchair Andy

8€ e/w on grace and koepka. Top 5 1/4 odds. Both finished in a 3 way tie for 4th. 70/1 and 45/1

Grace: 8 x 2/3 = 5.33, x 70/4 = 93.275, + 5.33 ~ 98.60
Koepka: 8 x2/3 = 5.33, x 45/4 = 59.96, + 5.33 ~ 65.29
Give or take a few pennies as most bookies will round up to the 5c.

Collected 164 euro today. What could've been....

I took Fowler and Willett to win, Harrington and da Silva (home boy, 250/1, sure it'd be rude not to!! ) each way.

I did..
Wiesberger 50/1
Luiten 66/1
Fraser 125/1
Hend 66/1

All small each way bets. Did the 2 Aussies cos apparently it's similar to courses in Australia. Also did a double on Fowler & Jutanugarn in the ladies.

4068ac1elhodqr

Fowler & Lingmerth@55 (6pl), but also looking (now) at Kaymer for Leader R1 @7.5 e/w 4pl 1/5.

Too much data involved. I was going to back Bun An from South Korea based on the fact that if he wins a medal he would not have to do 2 years military service. I was not being funny,he did give 25 out of 60. Seamus Power is going well, hope he kicks on.

Normally not as many places offered for the masters as it's a smaller field afaik

This was last year's offer, possibly also happened in '15:



No idea if it will occur this year, but more than likely PP etc will do the 7pl closer to the tee off.
