Nice little "my leaderboard" feature
click on the "+" beside your guys and it creates a mini leaderboard at the top of the page so you don't have to go looking for them
I don't know how long it lasts though

16/1 was just too big to turn down, many of you on here back him???
Agree 16/1 might be worth a flutter but he went 4/1 after 3 or 4 holes????? who are these crazy people backing him into that???

The USPGA might be a bit windy, and I notice Laird's best finish this year was 4th in Hawaii where two of the rounds were breezy. He is a big lad and I think big units do better in the wind. I ignore the inferior skills and talents of all other players.

also bubba watson starts birdie birdie, then 3 putts from four feet and decides not to try anymore
Yes, he started birdie birdie, and then bogeyed the 4th. He then birdied the 5th, 10th and 11th, but finished with 3 bogeys in the last 7 holes. Does that sound like a man not trying? Do you understand how tough this course is? Watson was 5 under after he bogeyed that 4th hole, and after playing in very tough conditions, he finished 5 under. I think he did well considering.

Ive Backed Jeff Overton in the 2-ball v Poulter at 1.86 on BF (8/11 pp).
He might not play but if he does its worth a stretch.

to lose .1 i have to break standard scratch by 1 (ss generally -1)
to gain .1 fail to match standard scratch by 1 (+1)
anyway forget about that Nick Whatney still 6/4 going into todays round, thoughts??

Really finding it difficult to know how to react to Rory, while this tournament may or may not show that he's already ready to win majors, it certainly shows that in market terms, he is probably the second strongest influence on the planet. Even more than Phil now imo. Yesterday the market just loved him all day, no matter what he looked like doing. I kind of want to green up but feel dirty doing it at a price that looks a good point/point and a half short to me.
In terms of trading early today, Day is the most interesting to me. He's played the first six holes in 6 under in the 3 rounds combined this week, and hasn't had a bogey in those 18 holes. I really like the kid too, got a great attitude, and I think he'll hold up to the demands of this situation better than most.
Would love Dustin/Day to do it for monetary and personal, anyone but Rory/Furyk is good at the moment but I'll prob even out over the first few holes I'd say.Last edited by The C Kid; 15-08-10, 13:43.

Something Id like to know from a 2 handicappers point of view as Im obviously nowhere near that standard, and as you say, you obviously know what your talking about.
Why then, does a player of Bubba Watsons standard not try to win a major? I thought he was tring his heart out, but that he simply isnt good enough.

Edited to say, how many shots would Bubba have won by if he had kept trying?Last edited by connie147; 16-08-10, 00:27.

There is a real changing of the guard air about this isn't there? Only 1 guy over 30 in the top 6. And when you look at the British Open Watney, Kaymer and McIlroy were at the top end of the field too and of course it was a twenty something that won that too.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

Just to clear up when I said changing of the guard I was talking more about players who have been regular high finishers in majors. I'm not talking about Tiger, he is in his prime golfing years. I just think he doesn't have that hunger that makes him ruthless right now. He has been through therapy and I mentioned what I'm saying here at the time he came back. He had a whole different demeanour about him. I do expect that at some stage in the next 6 months or so that he will just suddenly 'want it more' again.
I'm talking about the other guys that were up there in top tens like Toms, Love, Singh, Appleby, Allenby, Leonard, Kelly, Perry, Weir and Freddy Couples. They have had a long time at the top of the game but there is finally a group of younger players who are making a name for themselves. There was a period where nobody was breaking through but its definitely changing now.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick
