I'm with you on Wilson TMM. The guy is a winner and almost always seems over-priced.

Backed three this week, Donald win only, should suit Garcia, so backed him each way. But backed Kyung-Tae Kim each way massive price, for someone who has been in good form, should have won the Aussie PGA and played well in the Nedbank. GL everyone

Can someone tell me why I shouldn't back Day e/w ? Definately would have over-hauled Lawrie over 4 rounds the other week IMO. Good start, obviously not rusty and a very good putter. If I'm missing anything let me know.

His bad haircut could cost him on this track kendog

No great rocket science in my picks this week.

Badds, who I backed for this last year, so I'm not going to desert now after his finish on Sunday!

Then Na, Moore, Harrington, Allenby & the only slightly 'off the radar' pick Anthony Kim. He has to come good again soon and a hometown game could be just the ticket to get him going for the year.

Good luck everyone

i have no real stats to back this up but it feels like in the past few years there is always a repeat offender at the beginning of the season. so going kyle stanley for a little bit. so mark wilson as well. happy days.

one pick is all i need boys not half the field..Aaron baddeley e/w 33/1

Added Y.E. Yang, Greg Chalmers, and Graham Delaet.

sergio should go well round here, i'm never sure why he doesnt play every year, when he has turned up he has a decent record

of course sergio is sergio, so it may be a bumpy ride

Added KJ, some decent form here and good form. Added Retief as well at 130s, nice price for a quality player rediscovering his best golf, Saffers at home here as previously stated.

Agree rhino, surprised Goosen hasn't been mentioned more. He looks a fair obvious pick to me so I clearly must be missing something.

Good luck Heinz, couldn't think of anyone I would rather be cheering with

Garcai looking in good form.

yep,sergois buzzing

is this one the scene of charlie 3 sticks' famous triumph over the great lefty ?

546K

slow going that week then

Did Lefty just chip in to birdie the last? or was Shot tracker that said he was off the green after three just wrong as per?

Nice start for Byrd fellas, well done. Still represents value at 44s, anyone think Phil will go back to back considering he's first round leader? Can't back at 3.7 with 3 days to go and a 1 shot lead, but you wouldn't be surprised with this bloke would you... Just when it looks like he's losing it completely he goes back to back. No bigger enigma in golf than Phil Mickelson. Love the guy, sincerely hope he gets to no 1, no one deserving of that accolade more than him.

Aussie/Heinz, leap year wedding if r byrd does the bis!!

counting already my friend

You logged into the wrong account there Heinz

Not sure it is exactly a match made in heaven Deplaster!

therhino

having phil as a number 1 would be great

LOL.....maggotno1 is the no mark formerly know as golferno1 !!!

Okay Aussie boy,let's cheer Johnny Byrd home,mate.
Couldn't believe he was priced up @ 280's ?

anyone seen boob.just been out to purchase a few beers to cheer home my boy Byrd.why not join me Aussie boy.

Anyone got a link to live coverage ?

thank you

Small bet on Mickelson, among others, pre-tourney.  My mind is screaming at me to lay him @ sub 3/1, but I can't make myself actually do it.  Anyone with thoughts on the value at the moment.

if he birdies 10 and 11 that might be time enough to lay

you pay your money and you takes your pick

as per this - http://betting.betfair.ie/golf/golf-betting-weekend-preview-1-150212.html

I think phil is a good thing this week

My head was going to lay Phil but my heart doesn't really want to,  but also have Kuchar who's just gone -2 through 2, so now i'm prepared to give Phil the front 9 and see what he does. Cue implosion.

4 good days is a rarity from mat kuchar these days.

Shot tracker unresponsive for anybody else?....15 mins and wont open up

Thanks, Donny.  Scoring seems to be hard today.

shot tracker fine for me..probably your browser

IN and google chrome...not working on either...strange,tried rebooting also

that is strange...working perfectly here...clear cookies?

or reinstall flash

seems to be hacking it about a bit today phil

it's a tough course

Sergio is +4 today.  Phil is playing well.

a few putts going by too

And a beautiful drive on the 8th.  I'm on Phil and Jimmy WAlker this week and I couldn't be happier going into the weekend.  Phil will hope on the jet home this afternoon, get a nice rest and come out shootin at the weekend.  I don't expect anyone to shoot lower than 67 tonight.

And that beautiful drive gets him an even nicer eagle!

Ayee....he'll be hoping Johnny Byrd doesn't run away with this !!

Byrd is absolutely no danger.  I've backed him before and he's decent until sunday.  I repeat...J Byrd won't be winning this tournament.  It's between my 2 picks ;-p

that might come back to bite you boy

ANOTHER 6 footer missed

could have had this wrapped up

Loving this golf course. Great to see these guys play a course they can't rip up forr a change.

any ideas what the cut mark might be lads, currently at +2 but im hoping it goes to +3.

surely has to be +3, maybe even +4

each nine starts with easier holes, so it may fluctuate

Anyone else think dustbin moved the ball before that chip

i need to keep Sergio alive in a match bet with Jason Day thats all Donny, hopefully +3 or worse. Course looks like its playing tough enough so here's hoping.

impressive back nine by sabatini

No just bounced up and down with the grass didnt move

What are people's thoughts on bunkers in the middle of greens? Can't think of many, here and San Antonio off the top of my head, personally not a fan.

i suppose it depends on the green being big enough

makes the options for setting up the course bigger, cant say i'm a fan but if space is limited, then its a route they can try

Talking of greens - they keep going on about them being poa-ana - have they changed them - they were always bentgrass

Well.....why have Sky stopped showing the NT....ain't finish yet.....

the only woman to ride a grand national winner learnt how to ride at riviera

dont know if they were bent grass greens then

Definitely going to lose 3 out of 8 at the cut, now just green on Mickelson, Kuchar and Walker best winners, small reds on the rest except for Bo Van Pelt and Baddeley.  Only mistakes so far have been too much on Mark Wilson and not enough on Big Phil.  Staking plan needs attention.  Good luck.

what you telling me if it bounces up and down with the grass thats ok ?

Yes the ball is allowed to move as long as it returns to its original position, i.e. it cannot roll.

It swayed with the grass,but returned to it's original position before he hit it.

Bo Van Pelt CHHHHARRRRRRGGGGGEEEE

Its only a matter of time until he gets over the line!

He got over the line at the CIMB last year.

over the line again !

dustin really can't putt for schit

DJ putting letting him down yet again. 15 yards away playing his 3rd at the par 5, makes bogey.

Well there is no way this tourn will be won by somebody coming from 6 shots back...is there?....surely not on this track

leftys going to look more and more like tommy cooper with every passing year me thinks

For someone who can't win it,aul Johnny Byrd is having a damn good try !!

Woeful display by Phil and the Putter the last 2 days compared to 6 days ago. Really is struggling around the course past few days.

not a great deal of green but could take £50 by laying Bradley, but sit tight to win £210 if he wins, me thinks take the cash there are a lot of players only a couple back. ive been greedy before and been oput of it after the first 3 holes on Sunday.

Greed is bad, profit is good.

Lefty and Bones will sort out club distances for sunday. The grass is holding and he has left a cople of approach irons short, i think he will have a better day.

Thanks Quincy, just greened and had a saver on Gonnet for interest in the morning, gl,I knew it made sense
but sometimes you need a nudge

Mickelson's knackered - Last week's taking its toll.

The Mickelson luck finally ran out. Take away the Two chip ins for Eagle,and he's trailing.

No matter what happens from here,it's been a great tournament for yours truly !!

Unlike the last 3 weeks, at least we have a couple of leaders that won't be sh1tting bricks tomorrow. Phil did not look that good today but kept it together, some great scrambling. Wouldn't expect a great comeback tomorrow from anyone too far back, the -5 and above crowd is where the winner is sitting right now, still leaning towards Phil.

No doubt Phil should still be favourite,but this is there for the taking.
Bill Haas,(160/1 for The US Masters this very week),and who shot a +1 in the first round,wouldn't be unwelcome.

I laid Lefty , he looks like he is going from more to less , plus he's got a few good players
right behind him .

I am backing Bradley , this guy is a winner , he doesn't take 2nd or 3rd , and if my memoty servs me right , he even won one in a playoff , that shows nerve .

A golfer who has won in a play off,now there's a novelty.
Just wondering,if Keegan finishes 2nd or 3rd,will he refuse to accept it ?

Lefty on a sunday in the final pairing. Keegan will feel the heat. As for Lefty being tired, well this is a taxing course for everybody. Lefty will get a lift from the crowd.

Don't think there could be a better pairing for Keegan. Him and Phil are great friends and hes already come out saying how comfortable he feels playing with him.

=======================================================================================

Last year was his first year , so being thrown into a playoff and coming on top shows some mettle.

Now , if for a stupid Kraut like you that is a novelty , is your own opinion .

Regarding the possibility of refusing a 2nd or 3rd spot , you know he will take it .

I know you are just being facetious , but you can shove your irony up in your mama .

Hienz, Been keeping an eye on Haas Masters price..more than fair considering his status now and his short game is really good at the mo. Hard to see that not shortening, given he has been there or thereabouts in most this season.
Am on here @70 am wondering if I ought to lay back at the 20 now..havnt yet because he's played the front nine well and there's a good chance he will go shorter I think, esp as he is out before the main protagonists. Have Keegan too @ 50, so fingers crossed..

molder 280. bradley 36. and just added haas 20s fingers crossed and wood touched !

6 straight bogeys by Luke :/

jeez Sh1thawk,you took that pretty bad !!Chill out Wee Buddy,and next time heed my advice !!!

omega.............I've been filling my boots with Haas(160) and Bradley(110) for The Masters.
I doubt very much their prices will go over 100 again.

Win,lose or draw in the US of A this week,we sure got our moneys worth !!

Wd all winners- guess that includes me

Another cracking lineup this week in California. Traditionally this is quite a tough course so I'm stacking my lineup with course experience and value prices where possible. All ew.

B Haas 50/1
J Rollins 55/1
R Sabbatini 66/1
J Senden 80/1

Gl with all selections

What was the lowest Mickelson was matched ? Saw 1.5...

Did win on it, but not covered in glory.  Start again this week.  Well done those who have snaffled big prices for Bill Haas for the Masters.
