s palmer picks

Thanks "frames" for SP's picks and thanks "Loyal" for your thoughts too.

I played 3 earlier (1st 10 for £2.50 ew's) Bezuidenhout, Wallace and Taylor was looking for some selections to top up my bets.

Like to play around 5 or 6 between 66/1 and 200/1 as 1 in the top 10 makes a profit and gives me some interest for the weekend (hopefully).

Dustin Johnson.  Once top of the World rankings now languishes in position 969.  Has no form whatsoever in the last three years, having played very few events.
Has missed the cut in six of the last majors he has teed up.
Can be layed at 2.1 to miss the cut.  Goes out at 07.41 on Day 1, into the mist and dew.
Surely has to be laid to MC.

Come on Dustin5pm Friday and at +2 you are right on the M.C. cusp.
Bogeys urgently required!   

Dusty pulled it out the bag, Chambeau -1 from -6 yesterday, won’t win but good for match bets maybe

Immense respect for the guy.

Be careful because there is nothing in writing yet so there could be late changes but this is what I've taken from The Sweet Spot (without the normal cross-checking with website and paper). And TSS is ruined by Dave and Steve messing around on a simulator for half of it.

Europe
Europe 14.5 to 13.5
Top American scorer: Scottie Scheffler
Top European scorer: Jon Rahm
Top American wildcard: Sam Burns
Top American rookie: Russell Henley

OK from the website it looks like only the first two are official picks.

any idea of the strength of each suggestion Ramruma?

Watch The Sweet Spot. It's the best guide because SP is discussing his picks.

For what it's worth I think the sweet spot has improved immensely since Dave Clark has hosted. For me he gets the best out of Steve Palmer. This edition is an embarrassment

Anyone got his tips for the singles today ? Thanks

Sorry -- did not see the request for final day tips, which were:-


Bryson DeChambeau to win match 3
Patrick Cantlay to win match 5
JJ Spaun to win match 7
Tyrrell Hatton to win match 9
Harris English to win match 12

Europe to win 15-13 outright correct score

You could have got 16/1 on that correct score bet.

From the blurb for The Sweet Spot:-

Fancy Asking Steve Palmer a question ahead of the Masters?

PLEASE HEAD TO www.racingpost.com on Thursday April 2nd, from 7 pm to 9 pm and get those questions in!

Steve will be hosting a Q&A on April 2nd ahead of The Masters.

My hunch/guess/fancy for this year's Masters is Cam Young.

BackT Him Des, he was Mi 1st Pick 42/1

will do, alfee. GL

anyone know lowest price M Wallace traded yesterday pls ?

I BackT Wallace 100/1 earlier in the day, layed him @ 5.3/5.6 - i was busy frying other fish at the time to know the lowest.

What's Palmer gone for in The Masters ??

cheers alfie

i backed him myself @ 130 and 150

However, during a senior moment I managed to fall asleep early Sunday and not lay any off

Any idea who Palmer is tipping in todays final round ??

Surely 'Stevie' is with Young. I think he went 3points e/w on him. He is playing well but now he is no longer playing catch-up. So do we see from Young another collapse? There has been so many this year that betting these boys is becoming lunacy. Continuing the lunacy I will go with Jason Day. It is good fun and all to play for still.

Thanks

Anyone know if he’s put up anything yet for final round of Turkish or ‘no more bets’ as he has Dingy?

Not that I can see. I think the final round predictions are normally on Sunday for the PGA tour, given time zones and all that.

70 seconds clip of Steve Palmer messing around on the range with Sweet Spot host Dave.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZjeKOd5PdQw

He means paper straws, btw.

Cameron Young won the Cadillac Championship.

Note that in the last couple of weeks Steve has had a couple of low-ish priced winners not listed here. The Women and Seniors tours are not covered because my principal reference is The Sweet Spot, whereas those events are not priced up till later so are tipped in Thursday's paper, too late for The Sweet Spot.

Another reason to buy the paper or subscribe online.

An a side note last weeks Catalunya winner has to rank very high in amazing golf wins.Never had a top 10 ,early in his career granted,he equals the course record on Friday,beats it on Saturday for a 50k bonus and then tops it off by equalling the new course record on Sunday for a 14 shot victory and he started the week a 1000 on here.

Absolutely staggering performance.
