I don't really like golf so I had a few bets to make the few days tolerable:

Picked basically at random:

Graeme McDowell
26 €2.00 €50.00
Ian Poulter
65 €2.00 €128.00
David Lynn
260 €2.00 €518.00
Rory McIlroy
16 €2.00 €30.00
Bubba Watson
80 €0.72 €56.88
Bubba Watson
75 €1.28 €94.72
Vijay Singh
440 €2.00 €878.00
Padraig Harrington
70 €2.00 €138.00
Tiger Woods
6.6 €6.00 €33.60
Jim Furyk
110 €3.31 €360.79
Phil Mickelson
32 €2.00 €62.00

Total outlay was 25 euros, so if Tiger wins I walk away with nearly enough for 2 pints!

[Downtown]

Have rose,kuch and gmac as my main bets then Molinari, Manny, Stenson, Jacobsen and Clark at big prices.

[Lazare]

Couldn't resist a punt on Rory earlier @ 22

Scoring not as low as was expected so far, par is a great round.

Rough is so tough, missing the fairway by four feet is punishing.

Made up for it with that par on 2

Yeah it was a great putt for par, his 2nd and 3rd were terrible though.

I was talking about the field in general.

Amazing how a little bit of money keeps you interested.

[bohsman]

Mickelson, Rose and Kuchar main bets.
Small bets on Kevin Chappell, Fowler, Olsen and Harrington.

Some sort of a sweat to get me through the weekend in work please.

3 in the top 10, that'll do as far as the sweat goes.

[Hectorjelly]

I'm assuming that its going to be nearly impossible for anyone outside the top 10 to win now?

[TheJiggaman]

+5 is the absolute furthest atm that could win.


Rose @ 8s at this stage for me now.

[Emmet]

+1 could win it. Hard to see how someone on 5/6 over could pick up 4 shots while the top 10 struggle though.

Day & Rose for the interest bets.

[NoRiverRequired]

Gone for dustin johnson/gmac/stricker/els all ew.

Come on old man Stricks.
Would love to see him win and not just for the monies.

[Wesley Harms]

+2 will win this

[TheJiggaman]

+5 is the absolute furthest atm that could win.


Rose @ 8s at this stage for me now.

Lawrie in Ireland 33/1 and Watney in AT&T 50/1. EW Double for fun.

FWIW - my brother was caddying in Lawrie's group this morning. I asked him how he was playing etc, he said he wasn't playing particularly well and was struggling with reading the greens. Make of that what you will...
