Qatar Masters 2013

ski i understand what you are saying. i have bets that i mention pre off and some pre rounds for friendly bragging rights. lets be honest its only for bragging rights because quite seriously who has to post anything?

but i also have bets that i make during play that i sometimes cant be fecked posting because they are too numerous. and some for fear of being called an aftertimer as i didnt jump straight onto the forums after i made the bet/trade and it turned out to be good. seems that fear is not so irrational.

watching the coverage i would have also laid rose and kept kaymer. but i may not have come straight onto the forums to mention that for whatever reason. if i wasnt watching perhaps a diff story. thus i also understand the kaymer in play thing. he is a wild thing.

maggot, i also do not like blatant aftertiming, but i also know that the process of judging someone as having done so is not good for the soul either.

peace y'all

Fair start for Simon.

Dufner is on fire today - probably jinxed him now, but if he can keep this round going he might only be a few strokes off the lead come the end of play later.

Top bokking Bristol.

Yep I jinxed him he dropped a shot lol. Khan -6 for his round after 7 holes !!!!

Good old george , a 7 to start with 2 days running.

Cue another 5 under?  Such a frustrating player, only knows aggression.

OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh Khan.......well played sir.....i'm amazed

Radar calls shot perfect all day.

Howard says Sergio has left a tricky putt.

ffs, Howard he is one of the best players in the world with a virtual tap in.

well done he said in admiration, does does my nut in how poor he is

cant see it but was it one of those 'tricky 8-footers ' that he would cover with half his body lying down?

Radar calls a shot difficult or easy, he is normally bang right

Every shot for yer man is doom and gloom and a miracle if they pull it off.

These boys have their names on their bags for a reason.

amnesia?

lol

Radar obviously missed Grace and Wood tap in for eagles on 11.

He would have missed them, he is walking round with Garcia's match.

He is good but not that good.

Sergio   - €32

The Field + €40

No excitement there. lol.

a quite astoshingly poor finish for Garcia

yep pathetic

Will never win a major

Agree with you Par - awful finish for Sergio after a really good start. Mind you Santos has had a nightmare so it probably did not help playing alongside him. That said how many times does Sergio do this !

He will play with Grace tomorrow - hope it spurs Branden on. Im hoping for a Grace victory - although Campbell or Olesen would not be bad results either. Lots of players within 5 shots of the lead - and someone is sure to go low tomorrow. Wood is a fellow Bristolian so it would be good to see him win - but I well remember him having a lead a few years ago - was it Malta or Majorca - and Darren Clarke shot him down in the last round. Improved player since, but his win at the end of last year was not a competative field like he will see tomorrow.

Khan's odds over 20......two times higher than Campbell who hasn't won in 10 years.......what an insult

Maybe poor for Sergio but at least he makes a run for the event he is playing in, eh Rickie?

With Chris Wood a reknown dodgepot, anyone down to -9 can win it. as long as its one of my two

Chris Wood's odds look quite tempting - but not temping enough lol. As for Khan's odds being twice that of Campbell - well you have to say Campbell has been one of the most consistant players in recent events. I think his price is a fair one and he will probably challenge the lead tomorrow. Not saying he will win but is probably a Back to Lay job.

Come on Branden !!

I thought Grace failed to kick on coming home but it ended not too bad. Do like him a lot, must have a cracking chance given he has finished his last two events very well indeed.

I hope so - without doubt a top notch golfer regardless of his fate tomorrow. Good thing about him is that he is not afraid to win - that playoff win against Els and Goosen was witness to that, other 'rookies' would have wilted under the pressure of tying to beat two true greats of the game, but not Grace. I think playing alongside Sergio will keep him focussed tomorrow.

Yep, potentially top class. We'll see. gl

Got Chris Wood in the Betfair golf competiton but never had a bet.

Same here...couldn't get matched pre-tourny....done a bit of trading but will be supporting Khan

i really cant buy a basket at the moment pre tourney or pre round. moved my stenson onto rumford and manny first round and was going to go wood. didnt. fail.
having said that, in-play i'm doing alright.
i think i should just be an in play bandit....
could be a double WOODy this week

Sh*t or Bust for me.I like Wood,but on a course that low scores happen on I'm hoping somebody(anybody) leap frogs him.
Very hard to put 2 low rounds back to back(unless I've layed them)

If I did'nt have a financial interest in this I would be cheering on Chris Wood for sure. He has certainly under achieved in his professional career so far, albeit shown flashes of brilliance.

As a punter in this though im hoping he tightens up and lets someone catch and pass him. Im green on pretty much everyone apart from Wood, Sergio, Noren and Khan. Grace, Campbell or Olesen would be big profits for me - and I have just topped up on Georgie Porgie. I have thought for a while that if he is to win a tournament it will be in one that he comes from 5 or 6 of the pace in the last round, and I have a feeling that today might finally be his day. So Grace or Coetzee as likely winners for me

Campbell looks like a winner waiting to happen( pity he's not priced up for his past few seasons)
Afraid I can't be having George(cost me a few quid in final rounds) only way I think he wins if he posts a score.Don't fancy Garcia to win either(beginning to run out of runners having layed Wood the more I think about it )
Not given up hope of the German shooting a low one.
-7 posted today so far.So it does seem a score can be had.

Topsey turvey day in prospect I think. Great bogey save by Campbell on the first, adrenalin rush for Grace as well - obviously thinks he can win and is going for it. Great start for Noren and Sergio drains a long putt on the 2nd, and a nasty one on the 3rd after a poor tee shot -he has been good from 20ft or so all week, just a shame about anything under 10ft.

The way this is going this is anyones who can put together a steady round !

Hmmmm.

you can but watch mouth wide open and shake the head

The ever changing fate of Golf lol. Double bogey for Wood and Bogey for Khan ! Pick your winner from here !

Not even put Sky on yet.
But looking at the leaderboard you have to think even some of the -8 and -9's have a shout with low back 9.
Limits the winner to about 40+ then

Can George fall over the line ?

Would prefer he got in a play off and then offload everything of him.

19 players within 3 of the lead - unbelievable

Robbed.

Would be a disaster for my book if Lockerbie won

My plan for a 4 figure win is now firmly rooted into 3 figure territory barring a miracle from Khan

Could have layed off Wood earlier(obviously I didn't) so now I have to ride the storm.
I know it's only a matter of tume before he starts drilling that putter.I want more than Georgie on my side

could be an after you claude .....

Wood has had two putts that I don't know how they missed.

Even the caption man is at it ,sure it said Wood was in the bunker.

F@ckin ramping with the graphics now had woods in the bunker then and khan on the fairway,

anybody wanna lay Grace in top 10 market?
im lookin to back somewhere around evens right now

class back 9 from Sergio

No phones on the course thank you Mr Fringe.

3 way playoff ?????

wood with a clutch birdie, birdie finish

good putt lol

layed up to the eyeballs on wood

Changed tack a bit. Sergio €30.40.     The Field.  Zero.

are they reaching par five last in two easily?

is the playoff 18

Fabulous shot.

might not need it ha

how far the putt?

12 ft.

straight?

I think he is.

Radar says just outside left edge.

Fair play ,what a finish.

made it

nice lad, but please another week.

clutch par-eagle finish

Well done lad.......a very good back 9 for all 3

Hoovered all the the way down to 1.05.

ffs

Get in there - well done Woody.

Yeah the betfair's employees

Now lets hope for a Wood double.......over to Tiger now.

Every week people lose money leaving bets up.free money sat in that tv compound on the course

Fair play to Chris Wood - that took some balls.

That's what the time delay is supposed to cover.
I hope they get they're money back as this looks conclusive hoovering.

I wonder how many of them are fighting for it in the TV compound.It's certainly a big put off for playing in-running.

It would need a 10 second delay to have a chance this week.

Time delay IS for us 'plebs' and no time delay for betfair's employees

After watching for 4 days I missed the end of the tournament as I thought we were going to a play off. Felt rather foolish because I donated a few quid to the Sergio fund.

maybe get it back if you back him for the Masters

good finish, odd how some weeks they play like that, then others they chuck them away like confetti


good to see wood get the win, no good to me sadly

holy cr@p. i go to a bbq and come back to hear about chris wood eagle to win?
glad i didnt watch that coz i would have done some bad stuff. like being a coetzee lemming probably.

i just think of all the bad things i would have done and makes me want to step back and walk away from the laptop.
epic get of jail free card for me. no way would i have thought he'd win by eagling. i would have been expecting a playoff and spread my chris wood green all over the place. even before that. time with friends pays off .

Well done poke. Puggy. You might be correct about Sergio at Augusta. Especially if Rory does not sort out whatever was wrong last week. Not certain it was the clubs.

Regardless of defeat Sergio played some awesome golf today - never been a fan of his from a betting perspective as he is always shorter than he should be considering his win to run return of recent years. He has however shown better form in the last 18 months but I would not be in a hurry to back him to win a major.

Coetzee must be gutted to post a score, think he has won, then think he is in a playoff and then have a victory taken off him by a stunning Eagle on the last by Wood. Wish he would lose a few lbs, im sure it would make him a better golfer. I traded my profit as soon as I saw Sergio hit his approach on the last.

Took a small loss on the tournament but could have been worse. Farmers is another story though lol - Woods looks in sublime form. My 2 picks within 5 strokes Haas and CH3 will have to hope Tiger breaks a leg again lol. Have backed them and Charlie Wi in the without woods market for a bit of interest and in the hope that one of them recovers my losses on the win market.

I would not be in a hurry to back him to win a major.

I would never back him to win a major.......if fact he won't win a major.

I think he will and i really think it will be this year.

wheather he does or not 50 is a very tempting price for the Masters based on recent form.

I would want 200 not 50.

he was 100 a couple of years back, that would do me

????

I think that 50 is a great price for Sergio. I have taken some of it. You won't get 200, so that comment is meaningless.

His record at Augusta is OK. He is playing better now than he has done for a year or two.

To just come out with a sweeping statement that he won't win a major, fact, is a ridiculous thing to say. of course, it's not likely that he will, but you can say that about just about every golfer that to date, hasn't won a major.

One thing I do know, is that Garcia has a much better chance than most, because he is a much better golfer than most.

have to agree with all that maggot , allied to the fact his putting is so much better these days.
