Retief Goosen. First US Open. That was a loooong playoff on the Monday v Mark Brooks.
Angel Cabrera at the Masters at 200s, I only laid a little off at the very end because at that time I was bored with golf trading was just picking 5 runners a week and letting them run.... it just fell right that week.... biggest ever win on a single event by some margin....
Fred Funk at the Players. Got very lucky as had unexpected business during the last round and didn't lay off.
Nick Faldo 1989 Masters (in a double with Little Polveir in the grand National)
Todd Hamilton , @ 800s in the Open. Laid off about 25% in the play-off with Els.
tom watson many moons ago,i saddled him with my holiday money
Phil Mickelson Colonial 2008 with birdie at last hole to win. Good job backed with bookies in those days or would have layed before end
Adam Scott in a tournament restricted to two rounds and a sudden death play off
between the joint second round leaders, I had a most pleasant surprise when I
went into a Betfred shop to get my stake back and instead of my stake got a cheque
for a good many thousands of pounds.

1. VJ 2008 Deutsche Bank. I asked on here for someone to put me off, you couldnt. Final round, had no pics, reliant on this place (when it was good), bird, bird bird oioi.
2. Dustbin. Hawaii
3. Halfway bets on Rhys and GMac when they finished 2nd and 1st in Wales (I think). Although they started well off the pace, never in doubt
Please dont ask the biggest loss

Only two punts in my life.....J Nicklaus last major 33/1 and T Wood 3/1 in one of his early major and can't remember which one. Taking into account of inflation and availability of money i would say JN.
By the way for those who get confused
......i do not regard trading on Betfair as 'punting'

Rocco Mediate US Open - would have been somewhat bigger had Woods' other knee had gone as well!
cink in open.was in turkey n nearly got killed by a taxi runnin across road to a phone to lay off.wish it had just nudged me a bit.
Thomas Bjorn, all 3 wins in 2011, the first at 250/1. Wish he would get back to that form now, thought he was going to a few weeks ago but not so good last fortnight.
Nick Faldo when he won open at muirfield on top of the world he was during that period my biggest bet on a golfer ever before the tourney started.
Webb Simpson US Open, 100/1 before start and 33/1 before the final round. 
Mark O'Meara - Dubai Desert Classic.
Backed him on here @ 1000
Backed him on here @ 1000
Johnson Wagner - Greenbrier Classic
He didn't win BUT backed him @ 1000 and layed him off at several low prices as short as 2s!

Pat Perez-had him backed in a single and a tasty ew double with Quiros who won in Qatar on the same day. Send Pat a Christmas card every year since 
Gmac in US Open @ Pebble, Backed him at 150s e/w a few weeks before during Welsh Open.
Bob May 1999 British Masters at Woburn. Backed him at 66/1 with Ladbrokes (extra sweet) pre tourney.
Followed him round (final group)the first 17 holes at Woburn on a truly glorious sunny Sunday with my mates (who were also on for a little bit) as he went head to head with Monty in his pomp.
Couldn't get near the 18th green so we had to watch it on the big screen. May played beautifully all day and had 2 putts from four feet to win it. He hit a horror first putt and still had 3 feet or so...but he sank it. I could barely watch. Bob May payed for me to go to Law School.
Online, I once kept backing Peter Lonard in the 2005 MCI Heritage. It was the days of shot tracker. In those days there was plenty of liquidity. I backed him at around 250 pre tourney and i was hoping he got off to a good start so i could lay off. However he just kept getting birdie after birdie and instead of laying off i kept hoovering 150, 140, 120...all the way down as he just kept going.
My first lay was at 4.3 at his 17th on Thursday. I even greened out at around 4 average and then backed him again at 12/1 during the final round and he went on to win it. To this day he is my biggest ever win.

SSP Chowraisia (or however you spell it) but special mention has to go to Robert Coles who managed to bogey the par 5 last when he had 6 iron in his hand after a perfect drive.

tom lewis 500-1 ew in the tom watson stewart cink open at troon i think.
Wes Short Jr in Michelin Championship at Las Vegas 2005.
Laid 100 K on Furyk at 1,01 and 80 K on another player below 1,05 when Wes Short finished birdie birdie and beat Furyk in playoff.

looking at these stories you can understand (rightly or wrongly) why the pc charge is now here
the swede i was massive green on Furyk and layed off just my stake at 1.01, if i remember furyk missed a 4 foot par on last to 3 putt and wes short finished birdie birdie then furyk went in to water on the par 3 playoff hole !!!!!
i wasn't happy and as you can tell it is burnt in to my memory.
