Was on Van Pelt and Perry all last week. I was confident for a at least a place out of one of them as they had played beautifully all week long. Obv i didn't even get a sweat. Van pelt is on serious form. In his last 5 event he has 3 top 5s and 1 top 10 plus he finished 2nd in qualifying for the open. He's pushing for a ryder cup place. I'll have him and perry again this week. Also KJ, he won this before and is still showing that bit of form. I'll also back Tiger for the US Open this week. Just incase he decides to wake up at Memorial this week.

Some of the stats from the PGA site....
JIM FURYK. Last year's runner-up at the Memorial Tournament, Furyk returns with 2010 wins already under his belt. He's won Jack's event once (2002) and has 10 top-25 finishes in 14 starts.
K.J. CHOI. Has produced an amazingly consistent season, rising to 15th in the FedExCup standings after a T13 at Colonial, where he was one disastrous hole (quadruple bogey on 18 Saturday) away from contending. Strong Memorial record, where he won in '07.
MATT KUCHAR. He's been sniffing around the top of the leaderboard all year, with nine top 25s in 14 starts. And he loves Muirfield Village, finishing T13 or better in the last three years.
ERNIE ELS. How did he fall all the way to No. 6 in our draft? He's already won twice this year, plus Els has only missed the cut once in 16 starts at Muirfield Village, where he won in 2004 and has nine top-15 finishes.
JEFF OVERTON. There wasn't exactly a treasure trove of players to pick from, but I like players with momentum and that's what he has with three top-3 finishes in his last five starts. Another reason: He hits it long (and reasonably straight) and makes putts
TIGER WOODS. He's a wildcard for sure, but Muirfield Village should be a comfort zone for the four-time champ -- as Augusta was earlier this season, where despite everything going on he finished T4.

Draw out for next week
from europeantour.com
European Number One Lee Westwood and three-time Major Champion Ernie Els will line-up alongside World Number One Tiger Woods for the first two rounds of the US Open.
Westwood, with two thirds and a second in the last three Majors, and double US Open Champion Els, already a two-time winner in America this season, have been drawn alongside Woods, who won the last US Open to be held at Pebble Beach Golf Links by a staggering 15 strokes. This headline group will tee-off at 1.36pm in California next Thursday.
Padraig Harrington, looking to add the US Open to his two Open titles and US PGA title, has been drawn with the last two Major winners, Masters Champion Phil Mickelson and US PGA Champion YE Yang, the first Asian winner of a Major. Their US Open will get underway at 8.06am in little under a week.
Mickelson could overhaul Woods as World Number One if results go his way. In a nutshell, Mickelson wins and he’s the new World Number One. He can still overtake Woods with second place if Woods finishes outside the top four and if Woods is outside the top 18, third place on his own would be good enough for the left-hander.
Another intriguing group pits two of the most exiting young players in the world today with golf’s grand Master as Japan’s teenage sensation Ryo Ishikawa and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who recently turned 21, will play with Tom Watson, himself a winner at Pebble Beach in 1983.
A record 59 European Tour Members are taking part in the 2010 US Open, four more than the previous record from last year. To see when they are all playing and in what group, follow the link belowLast edited by nicnicnic; 12-06-10, 14:30.

This is going to be great.
Tiger gone to 10s in Laddies. Wow
I'm as good as finished with the world cup till the business end. I'd much rather lose money on something that is guaranteed to be entertaining and epic.
20 on Phil at 8s in laddies. 5 time runner up in US open and 3 time winner on this course(although it is practically a different course this week) Major winner this year and and few places to boot. Phil will want this one so bad. I don't think 8s is short at all, I reckon if ya play this tournie 4 or 5 times he'd win it once.
Already stupidly have a 10er on Tiger @ 6s and ill just have another in laddies. Its Tiger F%^&&ng Woods.
10er e/w on Luke Donald 33s. One of the form players of the world. a lot of experts say if he's gonna win a major then a US open is for him as he hits it so straight and good with the long irons he need find a course thats not too long and this could be it. There is 3 par 5s which you think would go against him but he had a ridiculous amount of eagles in Wales and Portugal.
5er e/w on Bo Van Pelt. Form player on the Pga Tour, 6 top tens in seven starts or something similar. Including 4 top 4s. He's knocking on the door. Prob not major potential yet but this is the last time you'll see him over 40s on the Tour. 60 or 66s can be got and that has to be worth a shout for the place.
2.50 E/W Ricky Barnes. 125/1 The guy has USGA pedigree winning the US Amateur before and Runner up at the last Open in Bethpage. Also a good showing at memorial a couple of weeks ago. William Hill with the price
2.50 e/w Davis Love III 200/1 Hills. Twice a winner @ pebble in the early 00s. Hit the post twice in previous US Opens albeit a long time ago. Not played a lot this year but showed a lil bit of for placing in the players Championship.

on phil myself for much same reason
small bet on D.Johnson @40's as well due to course form (for what its worth)

I wanted to back Johnson, but he's too short at the moment. Obviously the course form is the obvious reason, but given the US Open sets up it's courses so rigorously, it will be completely different from the AT&T and as a result it's far too short a price for someone with his record in Opens and Majors. Plus every tipster will tip him, I think Chapman has too.

I always look at the best scramblers and those with the least 3 putts from over 25 feet for the US Open. This tournament is not about target golf, its about pars and thats why scrambling is so important, the greens are usually extremely difficult so anytime you end up over 25 feet away there is a danger of a 3 putt.
My list for this week is
Luke Donald - Back on form of late and the most outstanding candidate imo
Steve Stricker - You can never rule the man out and he is a standout in both categories I mention.
Ian Poulter - I still question his bottle but again he is a superb long distance putter.
Retief Goosen - Been getting slowly and surely better over the last year after a horrible couple of years. Another grinder and well suited to this course.
My outside bet is David Duval, one of the greatest scramblers I've ever seen when he was at his best and this is right up his alley just like last year.
Tiger is another great scrambler, the best shot maker by a million miles but his lag putting has not been great this year. He is still worth a punt of course.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

did it last night as i figured Chapman would tip him as well (which he did)
price seem to have held (into 33's in places)
1pt ew on Choi at 66/1 as well, just way too big a price for a lad in a bit of form who is a straight hitter
and Jacquelin in Europe, only quality in the field is him and a few young fella's

My main bet is Phil at 8s. He is almost gauranteed to be at the business end of the tournament with 9 holes to play.
Small e/w bets on
Goosen
Khan
Mediete
Duval
Love
Kelly
and with a fiver left in my account i decided to go with Poulter after thinking about a few others. 66/1 is a big price and he always seems to motivate himself more for the majors.

Some wankers actually moan about sky. ad breaks seem pretty short too.
Leads perfectly into game 7 of the basketball too.
What do you think so far? The greens are going to be hellish come Sunday, need someone with a high trajectory and an excellent putter. Obviously Tiger of old would be perfect, but I'm looking around for other options.

Won't need to drive that much, can hit those iron stingers off the tee, has a ball flight advantage, and if he putts tens is going to look massive.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

have to get a brag in about my back nine today, a pair of two's on the par three's and my second eagle ever, on a par5.
What course ya play. I parred the 13th in Druids Glen on Sunday and it genuinely felt better than any birdie or eagle i have ever had. I really believe its the hardest hole in Ireland.
