Such an amazing turnaround from yesterday - when I was pretty convinced McIlroy was gonna walk it.. I had 1k on mcIroy at 4.5 and 1k on woods at 5.9 last night but since then everything went right...
My books all green - apart from -8k Mickelson -3k Woods -3k Garcia - 6k on Mcilroy and -2k barnes I will green him up at 50/1 in a minute -10k els and rose but they wont be here so no worries Greens are up to 90k The onmly 90k man that is less than 1000/1 is Taniguchi 70k anderson hed 40k donald 30k garrido, calc 20k canizaries, siem, overton, Jiminez,Lehman,Kaymer, jeon 10k Kar;son. ishy, tiley, dustin 8k Casey 5k westwood, Ohair 4k hanson 3k goosen and mcdowell think tahts everyone.... will be against woods small and other big names taht are stupid prices ie mic 120/1 mcilroy 50/1 etc etc! Lets hope for more of the same then a ben curtis type winner! |

Realistically hard for today to go much better i think, Oosterhuizen flying out early and the brutal afternoon conditions hitting quite a few hard, notably McIlroy. Got very lucky with a few speculative backs, messsed up a bit with the halt in play but reads like a few experienced worse.
Oosty carries on holing putts like he has hes gonna be very hard to catch but thats a big ask, and plenty of decent players lurking if he blips. Current Book reads Reds (Full list of all who will make cut) Westwood 920 Goosen 920 O'Hair 915 Glover 530 Daly 660 Poulter 730 Mickelson 740 Villegas 585 Fisher 625 Stricker 500 Greens Oosterhuizen 625 McDowell 475 Woods 200 Casey 125 Garrido 18.5k Yang 13k Hanson 2.5k Karlsson 3.4k Jeong 3.8k Tiley 3.2k Lehman 3.5k Kaymer 2.5k Jiminez 2.1k Calcavecchia 2.5k Field 1k |

I don't really get excited unless it's 6-figs Hank
 Just kidding of course, I separated the ones at the bottom because they are off the pace rather than amongst the favs. Still not sure what to do with Tiger - if I was coming into the market fresh now, would I back him at 6.6? Not sure. Would I back Oost at 4.5? Yes definitely. In fact just talked myself into shifting £5k from Tiger onto Oost. Now +£89k Oost, +£40k Tiger. |

Very interesting read, nice to see how the other half roll. Still learning to trade golf successfully, dont have much time on my hands so usually get involved on a saturday/sunday, heres my book for what its worth.
Tiger +£730 Casey +£1200 Garrido +£7500 Garcia +£700 Dredge +£2570 Immelman +£2200 Glover +£530 Villegas +£660 Field -£300 |

long, long way to go imo, if Oosty starts to drop one or two he could very easily do a Rory

Oosty -6800
Tiger +21000 WW -7000 Casey -6700 Mcdowell +2000 Goosen -7000 O Hair +10000 Kaymer +60000 Lehman +70000 a few other 10 k winners that need something special to win. Field -7000 |

sorry guys, not in your league ,
+£40 on Westwood for top 10 finish, @3.25 enjoying the read though, good luck to all (bleddy wind!!!) |
|
By:
Karlsson, Dredge, McIlroy, Hanson +15k.
A curious book because I could actually get out now with a decent profit but the gambler in me is going to let this run not least because I will be at the Open tomorrow, largely letting fate and skill and nature play its capricious role in my fortunes....obviously, I think the force of nature called Tiger is worth backing. |

Not a lot of headway today, except getting Oosty back onside as he was one of my biggest losers yesterday, will probably tidy up some of the reds a little and concentrate on trading Westwood down tommoz
Westwood -£3868 McIlroy -£3520 Jiminez -£1076 Goosen -£871 Garcia -£776 Barnes -£658 O'Hair -£619 McDowell -£102 Oosthuizen +£2059 Casey +£2027 Tiger +£1833 Field +£1723 |

Any opinions on where the value lies at halfway if any? McDowell the only price that stands out imo.

Having taken a view against Rose, Rory, and Woods at the outset, things are looking up. I now take a view against Oosty - not saying he can't win it, just that in all likelihood he comes back to them. That makes it an incredibly open tournament.
What about that wretch Woods? Well, I've bailed out for the same average price I laid him at over the first two days. Why? Because I feel he's in a stronger position to win it from where he is than at the outset, plus, if I'm right about an Oosty nosedive, then he'll be trading a lot shorter. I guess I'm taking the opposite view to KR on the prices of Oosty and Woods at this stage - probably not a healthy long-term strategy, but my head says the leader won't be winning this thing. Other minor changes leaves my book looking roughly like this: Oosty -600 Wretch -11 (had to leave him a bit red) Westwood -300 Rose -2100 Rory -2500 Karlsson +5000 Field +650 Very impressive turnaround in Frames' book, btw. Sounds like Turkish delight for the Eagle as well. Be nice to hear more from Eddie between mouthfuls of Baklava. |

Looks like the days play was good for most books on here. I am looking for Oosty to keep it going, with a few challengers on my side. Tiger and Casey the two reds that are in contention:
GREEN: Oosty 3.8k Goosen 1.4k Ohair 1.8k Jimenez 1.8k Kaymer 4.5k Hanson 5.8k Canizares 10.4k D Johnson 3.4k Quiros 4.3k RED: Tiger 1.7k Casey 1.3k Mcilroy 1.8k Mickelson 1.8k Daly 1.7k Field +100 |

Good morning everyone , I've got these positions at the moment :
Greens : Oosthuizen 350 k Casey 120 k Garrido 260 k Cink 360 k Dyson 45 k Na 125 k Everyone else is - 8 k Should lay off some on Oosty , but find it difficult to do so @ 4.5 when I think his price should be around 3 or even a little less than that. |

Morning all.You need to go on holiday more often Eddie.Seems most are in decent positions after yesterday`s turnaround .Let`s hope for more of the same today (rarely works like that ),good luck all.

The only greens i have are the ones left over on my plate from last nights dinner.

Looks like the holiday approach is the way to go. Didn't do much resarch for this week and the only one I actually had in mind for this one at high odds was Oosthuizen and when I saw he also got the better of starting times , I had to go for him. Had to look hard to find anyone else I wanted to back and came up with a few. Casey was only added Thursday morning when I saw he had drifted to 70.

At this rate Tiley will walk off the 18th green straight over to the first tee.

Welldone Eddie....about time that you got abit of luck!

Think we might have a situation where people are finishing Round 3 on Sunday morning before coming back out for Round 4. Got to think that is going to be really hard to deal with for people like Oosty, on top of the normal Sunday and big Championship pressure.
I think that the players on Evs to +2 on 1000 are worth having a pop at here. |

By:
should get it finished easily 2 ball shouldnt take more than 4 and a half hours

Well done Eddie, a bit of a position to be sat in, good luck however you decide to play it

oost--out late late
could mean 3 shots better---less wind jammy git |

Similar to Eddie I have Oost around 3.0 now. Have increased my position to +139k.

very nice KR
hope he doesnt do a rory |

Now if the BBC want a great story and be able to play yesterday's video telling Rory's glory story again soon it would make a great story if he were to come right into contention again today and be fighting it out near the lead tomorrow.
Not breath holding but it's not impossible given reasonable weather not that unlike the first day. My 2 quids worth at odds around 50. |
