Think there will be a surprise winner this week I know the English lads have a great record but I can't have any of them Donald has been poor this season and his once brilliant putting is now suspect. The once best closer on tour lee Westwood is now a massive choker and justin rose is the worst putter I have ever seen.
Sterne for me
Sterne for me
i had my eye on Chris Wood for an english winner but not looking likely now
heres hoping Lee can just keep it tidy and hit the fairways on the par 5's maybe birdie them and par all the other!
nice to dream

Someone laid Rory at 28/1 for the Open , must have got mixed up with this tournament .
Delayed.........predicted that may happened and went out on the range.....
Kingston overtaken Mikko.......

Martin Wiegele (ever heard of him?) is going on a late charge tonight - just birdied 5 of the last 6 to go -4. Go on Martin lad!
This cash out thing how does it work anybody ? i have 11 selections liability £58 take cash £45 at moment do i get that amount back into my bank?
thanks money just not clear in the section i read with the help ? button thanx again and gl with ur bets.
Not a bad first day for my selections Mannasero, Westwood, Grace and Colsaerts. Satisfied with all their efforts, bar Colsaerts whose putting let him down. Going to be a big day tomorrow with all the scheduled rain and wind. I can see the Cut being around +3 or +4 tomorrow with scoring very difficult.
im quite happy that i jumped on westwood just before his round but i keep looking at the scoreboard and the forcast weather for tomorrow and i notice that Kingston has played some good rounds in his career when its nasty conditions so i gotta back him @40's not something i usually do but i got a feeling hes gonna hang around till sunday.
It's going to be windy today, got to think anything under par will be right in it.
Khan will hang around hopefully, would love Havret, Bourdy, Kruger to have good days. Got a lot around level par to -3 under.

wouldnt be having westwood at sixes in todays conditions.
does seem short,the market prices werent what i was expecting when i looked at it this morning,think mannessero is the value right now.
seems to be constant strong wind all day
big swings
6s Westwood is ridiculous

Will you still hav chance to win?

theres a chance of thunder this afternoon, so late starters might get to finish on saturday when the weather will be much better.. all guesswork of course ...
Donny the forecast yesterday was nothing like it actually turned out to be,i was there and it was pleasant most of the day.....was due to go today but changed it to tomorrow because of weather....i just hope they have it right for tomorrow...
good luck golfnut, forecast looks decent, fingers crossed
My head has comepletely gone. Just sitting here looking at two screens, no idea what to do. Two red highlights at the start, Kaymer and Grace, two lays, both well back, backed three of the afternoon starters, all over 500, one of those (Khan) is 3 under and it still doesn't look good. I don't think I'm a morning person.
I've added Lowry at 50 to my 4 golfers already. Hoping that he can play well in these conditions and hit at least a 71 today.
Brought everything up to date, doesn't look too bad now. Paid for all the afternoon bets by laying Khan at less than a tenth of what I backed him at. The other two afternoon bets were Fleetwood and Havret, so I might have chances there. Nuts are no longer on the line with Donald and Rose. Might make Rose a winner, if the weather improves a little. Good luck with yours.
Colsaerts making a charge for me at the right time. Hope he can get at least 1 more birdie on one of these big par 5s on the back 9. Good call going for Khan pre-tournament.
Having said that, typical Westwood putting is letting his round down again. The only player in his group not to get his birdie putt on that whole which wasn't difficult.

chris wood withdrawn according to european tour website? Makes wiesberger a tasty bet if you ask me in the 3 ball market now.
OH no...........In the words of Victor Meldrew, ' I don't beliiiieeeevvvveee it'.
Looking at my greens on S Khan......Backed S Khan during the week at 380 and was suppose to lay for a trade at 280 but for some reason i can't quite fathom, i'd put 380 for the lay......no blooming profit.....what a blunder?.
On at 44 and traded out.

Just moved some Khan over to Rose. Just got the Westwood quandry now. Back to lay or lay to back?
Betfair down?? Coetzee chucking his round away and molinari bogey too.
Did it the other was, Ski. Will try the lay to back in a minute or two. Couldn't possibly back him now at 8.4.
Going to add more to my only pre tourney bet on sterne and going to add lowrey
Hence why i said 'if he gets down'....'if' being an important 2 letter word where Westy is concerned.
Got it on, but sound off and not watching. I think it's coffee and fruit scone time.
1.01 in westwoods interview he says how well he chipped and putted the man is delusional at this stage
oh dear it seems like WW is the only guy that ever misses putts...!
laid the big six,backed mcilroy,westwood,nice profit.long as garcia or rose dont win.
Rory - just off the green but long run to the flag - wedge.....i would have used number 7 iron.....what say you?
is this gonna be stopped soon because of water on the greens ?
I think I've only seen about six players in the last half hour. 
How did justin rose get to number 4 in the world with a putting stroke like that
I was thinking just that, kingmax. Have taken 75 per cent of my stake out of him, but got greedy.
Lee looks a bit short now. Might have too lay him, even just as lay to back, being 3 back. A good finish from Darren would be useful, as would Kaymer, Lowry, Grace and Ramsay. This isn't looking too bad now. Good luck with yours.
for biggest English tournament Barr the open
golf thread is very disappointing

Paul McGinleys comments were I thought very relevant . Basically the rejigging of the Wentworth course was OK if you were prepared to play golf through the air , whereas the orignal design allowed you to use the natural contours and in part to thwart bad weather etc . Current course is designed for high summer play , with little wind .
So I reckon you dont play a big tournament there unless you are pretty sure of decent weather . We here had a magnificent day today , sun , heat , little wind , but the weather at Wentworth was dire . Thursday and Friday have proved that the course is not to everyones taste , particularly in poor weather , Padraig not alone now in his view I suspect .
The demise of a lot of the bigger names has robbed the tournament of a lot of interest .

quite a few in contention have no big tournament experience,could be a few squeeky bums the next two days.
I remember when you could get eagles 17/18 ,now I you need a great drive followed by an awesome hybred
i guess the water hazard on 18 still make it possible for big swings on the last day but i preferred it the older way
yeah everyone went for it when 18 didn't hav moat----TOO WIDE an SMALL GREEN
e molinari 4 off the lead @120/1 seems a value bet to me
g/l all
g/l all
Just upped that lay to €100 7.00 Westwood. Hopefully, hopefully.
garcia is my only loser,he cant win can he,with tiger in his head.
Change of weather will bring some good scoring in today,lots of the "big boys" gone this could go to somebody at the moment par or even +1....had a few pennies on Storm.....
I post at 5 o'clock, by half past, my four at 1 under have all dropped a shot!!!!!
Just looked at the Crowne Plaza, should have just backed the same team as last week. Kuchar, DeLaet, Speith and Palmer, 1st, 2nd and joint third.
Still looking at the Westwood lay. Taken some out, what to do with the rest now.

Prize money for the world match play was the same as for beating 155 others this week . Hard to keep the concentration etc going for 2 weeks plus , although he did look like he was trying , unlike his compadre who looked like he didn't want to be out there in the conditions . But the threads re Rory are full of "explanations" when he plays badly in tough conditions , he just does not like them . Strange that someone who traded down to 5/1 or less misses the cut ( easily) . Surely those who back Rory look occasionally at the weather forecasts ?
I never realised Northern Ireland weather was like Florida
Would love big days from Lowrey, Havret, Khan, Fasth, Coetzee and a few more
@Quincy.... I have backed Westwood back for a small profit from my initial lay and have taken on Coetzee.
Now standing
Lee Westwood + €130.00
George Coetzee - €672.00
The Field + €80.00.

If Coetzee didn't play Saturdays he would be a world beater, he is likely to shoot the lowest round of the week tomorrow like he usually does.
Its like Florida today again ,xmoneyx . 23 degrees when I was out perambulating this morning . Need it though , our course is 2 months behind also grasswise . My garden is just about not soggy , and its well drained . Think our course was closed every other day from Christmas to end April for one reason or another , mainly wet .
