Arnold Palmer Invitational

Sang-Moon Bae 80/ SJ

Jim Furyk playing himself into a bit of form. 3/1 for Top 10 Finish. Very solid records around here. Kinda threw away the Tourney yesterday with that 3 putt but played solid.

Webb Simpson at around 25/1 e/e for Palmer Invitational has a bit of value to it. Lay off after rounds 1 or 2 may be an option.

Where is Webb Simpson 25/1 ?

Thanks for reply tober I see 4/1 top five but cannot see connection with 25/1. Must be missing something

early thoughts on
bae

furyk
do we think that the people playing in the tavistock may be affected by playing too many rounds??

Dont think Ernie has the confidence in his putting to win.

Ken Duke 0.2 ew 125/1

Tiger looks very good in the early going at Tavistock today. So too Rose.

The PGA website writeup says experience is vital at Bay Hill, and seeing as Tiger has won here six times and Rose was third last year and is riding some great form. They're not bold picks but they both look a decent shout to me.

A top class field assembles for the Arnold Palmer Invitational and at the top end of the market it really is difficult to spot any players that represent any sort of value. However one player did stand out and that was seven time tour winner Zach Johnson and I really don't see why he should be around the same price as non winners such as Levin, Dufner and Overton. You would have thought he has poor course form but he has been 3rd and also twice 8th around Bay Hill. In recent weeks he has struggled with just one aspect of his game - he has been putting really well but not hitting enough greens, whereas last week his ball striking was excellent but he struggled on the greens - if he can get the two together on a course he has played well before then his price will seem very large 0.5 ew 66/1
Ken Duke is now in his 40's and has yet to win on the main tour but the Florida resident has some top class form in his adopted home state. Last week he was 5th just missing out on the playoff by one shot and he can also boast a 2nd and 5th at the Ginn Sur Mer Classic and most importantly was 6th on his first start here back in 2008. Admittedly the course has toughened up but he has been playing so well on the Nationwide Tour and the main tour over the last nine months he is worth a bet at 125/1 - 0.2 ew 125/1.
Kyle Reifers really is a longshot and I have only been drawn to him becauese he won the Monday qualifier last week by shooting seven under and drove the ball really well to end up 38th. He has played here once before back in 2007 and his 12th place remains to this day his best ever PGA tour finish 0.1 ew 275/1 + 0.2 top 10 25/1
Last but not least my old friend Rocco Mediate and there is one simple reason for backing him - this is one event he is desperate to win. Arnold Palmer was his mentor when he was learning the game and when ithe event was named in his honour in 2007 he came up just shy when 2nd. He was also 3rd at Bay Hill in 2002 and whilst he is out of form stranger things have happened when players are inspired by certain factors 0.2 ew 400/1 + 0.2 top 10 33/1

Taken from PGA site..notable for anybody fancying any Rookies....

Experience is vital. A cursory peek at recent results reads like a who's who of veterans, and none of the 21 rookies that competed here in the last three years posted a top 10; only four posted top 25s. Additionally, course history goes hand in hand with course management

Bill Haas.

Bo out kids, for all top-10 fans

Dunno why Wagner is 100-1+? A winner right back to form, with form here when he was half the player he is now, stupid price

Can't have Tiger, win or lose.  I know his course form is outstanding, but the older you get, the longer you take to fully recover from even minor injuries.  Will be mainly with Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan, together with small bets on most of the usual suspects. Good luck.

I will be "Clutching at Straws" with these

Bubba Watson 34
Ben Crane 100
Sean O'Hair 85
Andres Romero 350
Kris Blanks 600
William McGirt 410
D J Trahan 380

Good Luck on Your Selections.

Would have had O'Hair, but don't see the Tavistock as particularly good prep. Tempted to lay Rose.Over golfed, needs a break,IMO.

Zach Johnson for me, gl all.

Watson Simpson Rose between the three count out phil only using tournement to fine tune for masters worth laying definately

Team of twelve for me.  eric, a team of six must be nearly a record for you.  Main realistic hopes for me Zach and Hunter. Good luck.

Tiger
Bubba
Els

to begin with
