The McGladrey Classic 2012

£100 on Zach Johnson @ 13.
£50 Colt Knost @ 300.

Thought 23 C Knost Top 10 finish looked generous

jonas blixt to double it up for two in a row. he could well have been playing for the third in a row...

swedes however, like to party....

$100 @ 25's jonas blixt

$100 @ 13's zach jonhson.

gl all

Great start from Cauley but seems very short to me. Really enjoyed what I saw of Round 1 this is the marquee event of the Fall series, sensational golf course I can see why all the pros live there.

Forget Cauley !
Zac backers,lay him off now at 7's.
Wait until the early guys hit double figures in their second round,and back Zac again at 10's or 11's.
Money for aul rope.......or,in this case,Devine Hope.

Agree with Rhino. Backed Bud Cauley, Zach Johnson, Henrik Stenson, Scott Stallings, Sean O'Hair, Jason Day, Harris English, Blake Adams and Ben Curtis pre-tourney. Taken 3 times stake out of Bud and a bit out of Zach.  5/2 the two coupled seems very short, so I'm laying them both again.  Keeping them both winners, but not for so much.  Good luck with yours.

Brian Gay,you must demolish this feild

Laid Jim at 4.4, too short with such a bunched leaderboard and his record of falling over this season.

Agree with you about Furyk Rhino - ridiculous price with 2 rounds to go - would be short if there was only one round to go with this packed field. Value has to lie with those 3, 4 or 5 shots back in my opinion

I have just gone in again and had some of the 25s available for Zach Johnson - not putting well but giving himself lots of chances. Im already on Toms, Gay, Stenson, Flores and Curtis. I would hope that a couple of them can challenge tomorrow.

If 4.4s is short for Furyk, then 11s for a bloke who has never won must be very short too. I like Bud Cauley, but his price at times in the last two weeks has been eye-opening.

Laid him too Miss at 8s in round 1. My only two bets so far, basically I'm on the field at about 1.53 with Furyk the slightly bigger loser of the 2.

He had a great Fall series last year which may explain his prices over this time you speak of.

I agree about Furyk and have gone back into Zach, but not laying @ 4.4 Furyk, Jason Day, Vijay Singh and Chad Campbell seem better options for trading.  Not in any trouble even though yesterday wasn't the best for me.  On the plus side, my team all made the cut and on this course, there are low scores out there, so I'm going to stick for a bit. Good luck with yours.

Think Jason Day is nicely poised to throw a low one in today, and set us up nicely for tomorrow.

@ rhino - yeah I know Cauley did well last Fall Series, but just for the moment I think his prices are short.

People like betting on potential and blokes like Anthony Kim and Rory were both well supported before they won, so there's precedent there. This field isn't full of spuds though, and there are 13 either in front or within a shot of Cauley... All of which is to say I'm happy to oppose him this week (making it two weeks on the trot).

Make that 11, not 13 ahead or within a shot. I can count

Quincy you make a good argument. All green in the Perth tourney, don't need the stress of a big liability and potential big loss to ruin a good weekend. You've swayed me. Out of Furyk lay at same price, turned Cauley small green, added Zach at 25s, Campbell at 42s, De Jonge at 60s, Sabbatini at 80s and Bowditch at 180s for good measure. If Furyk stuffs up chances are one of these blokes will win me the same amount of money and if Furyk goes real low can always lay for bigger bikkies, don't have much faith in him to get over the line these days.

And Atwal at 17.5. Now I'm done.

Why is Davis Love 111 not in the conversation? I don't think he will win but he IS joint leader going into the last day. If I had a book of bets on the tournament I would have to factor in his chances.

DLIII will definitely be in the conversation today.

Cauley still seems short to me, but I'll stop banging that drum. I dont have great faith in Sabba or Crane but I'd rather four times the price for them, just one back of Bud.

The guys at -8 probably need to equal the course record to give themselves a good chance, but seeing as that's been done three times this week already it's not out of the question. With Sunday pins it will be tough though.

DJ Trahan has been rubbish for so long that I'd like to see him get up for a win, but it's hard to go past Jim Furyk at the moment.

I am small green for the tourny and bigger win on love 3> having initially backed furyk , thompson, howell 3 , english, overton, kirk . Regret not laying thompson @6's . Jumped on love 3 after his interview on round 2  , and his price was too good all night yest . If he can hang on first 9 holes i'd fancy him to win

Love for me. furyk will bottle this imo. If Love doesnt win, Cauley will

After having furyk in the u.s open bridgestone and tour championship. i have not backed in today, Instead gone for love being at home must be an advanatge regardless  also the wind is going to pick up and love always does better in poorer weather, and has a decent open record. Had a covershot on cauley as i think he is the onlyy threat from behind.

Any chance of Furyk not quite being 100% competive against his wounded Ryder Cup captain playing in his own event?

It would be a great tonic for Love to win this - maybe 'Gentleman Jim' might not quite have the killer instinct he would normally have in such circumstances, maybe missing a slight edge?

I'm not saying he's going to throw it or anything, but if he had to lose a tournament, I don't think losing to Love would hurt quite as much as others he's lost

I'm trying to imagine Europe losing in such circumstances, then Olazabal and Garcia going out in the final group in Olazabal's home event a few weeks later, and Garcia knowing what a win would mean for Olazabal - would Sergio be busting a gut to win?

Just a thought

I'll have a go on Atwal around the 16/1 mark - been cack this season but had a good final round to be 3rd here in 2010 and the leading pair are for catching here.

Oh right making it up as you go along

Tommy 2 gloves on fire!...gotta throw in a double in last 3 holes?

market urgently needs a shake

£41 matched @1000 on Tommy...now @ 8's

Yep would help with a rustle

and another

4s now

One birdie for a 59...

two pars to win tournament

That will be a decent target -16 if he gets there...odds on a dropped shot at the last tho

1000 layers a tad nervy

2.8!

Whos gonna catch him?

Hope he's forgotten his shank on 18 at St.Andrews into the auld toon on US Big Break....hit a van as I recall

Well he is in van now!!

2.3

Get on quick I think he wins

Why dont they sort market ??

Looks clear unless he fluffs it near green

evens hit

what was he b4 tee off tonight .........

Had a small saver on him...no one pressing him

Prob a 1000, but not certain

well that's given me a nice green up!!

Tommy Gainey    310    £42.37    £13,092.33

Wd!....that's a result!

indeed, laid a fair amount off though at 8's more at 3's but managed a field of +£3.8k so more than happy with that and couldn't have done it with out him, well done Two gloves!

fook off jim now

furyk is a choker you have nothing to worry about gainey backers

Credit to Tommy whatever the result...that is a cracking round

Best of luck to Gainey backer. Hope he wins for you. Squeekey bum stuff for 1000/1 layer. We might be in for a play off. Just a thought. Furyk v Gainey in a matchplay situation. Who would hold their nerve?

go on toms !!

toms running out of holes

furyk is a bad choker -1 through 10 holes on a good scoring day

Time to back Furyk & Love.

They'll be expecting to pick a couple of shots in the next 4 holes.

come on jim couple more pars

lost count of how many times golf channel have shown a review of that charles howell win in 2002, in the michelob, "the big one"

fook of jim

cant understand why jim isnt 6-1 yet

davis you tool

howdi its amazing after all that's happened this year people still put faith in him

to be fair pal someone has gone -10 at him today otherwise he would have hosed in.

A birdie on this hole and it's still wide open.

rock on tommy

will het get one ???

Super , super Tom super, super Tom. Super, super Tom, super Tommy Gainey

ohh! that would have put the cat amongst the pigeons if that had dropped

bollox

If Tommy was ever gonna win then this would be the way..gl to him...hope he wins in regulation as wouldn't be confident in a play off.

jim not going away

had to lay off here

nearly missed that

Clutch putt by Furyk there. Can he birdie the last?

Also, you can't really call Furyk a choker considering he has the equal best score of the last six groups so far today.

(Love +1, Trahan, -1, Atwal +1, Cauley +2, Claxton +2, Sabba +2, Howell -2, Goggin +2, Crane +2)

^^^^ poorly explained, thought out

he's won 16 + did he bottle them ?

hes bottles tournies this year. get a grip and move on mate

Not a very good approach to the last by Jim there though.

Well done Tommy Two Gloves

50/50 to get down in 2 from the fairway, tell me that lad doesn't gamble

not exactly what you said was it tbf

haha hopefully he's on betfair

all i said was he'll bottle this. Mentioned nothing to do with overall career. christ sake

First of all he says he would get down in 2 three times out of ten.

Yet with all this pressure on him, the fact he has failed to get it done in the US Open, Bridgestone and Ryder cup this year he then decides it's 50/50




watch him chip in now that i've said that

nice winner, genuinely humble rags to riches bloke, loved the way he was signing autographs for the kids earlier...

Jim isn't a chaser - he's a holder.

Denis Pugh never ever is too critical of a pro golfer who might need his services as a coach. Purely thinking about his own bank balance so not as wild with his predictions as might appear at first. As for giving Jim Furyk a 50/50 chance of that 18th hole birdie, rather than that 3/10 chance....just proves a point really.

@McAteer.....Good effort from one of your origonal picks in Harris English. I will be watching for him in his next outing.
