my plan is to hope woods has a couple of good holes and then trade out and use the profit to trade in-play

Moved a bit of Rose to ad Sneds at 120, nice price with him finding a bit of form lately.

That's a nice bet vegas.

ooo i'm all excited, just off to pick up my new golf clubs

vegasdreams, be careful you don't trade based on your skybet bets though, they have a habit of cancelling bets if they were 'put up in error'

don't leave yourself massive red cause of it, is what I mean

Piercy out to 680 - probably the "wrongest" price I have seen on here for a few years

@ muppet moans - why we liking peircy? it is u who does the write ups for the majors aint it? where is it man? pull yer finger out!!!

ty i think

Just for you Vegas

When researching for this years US PGA Championship it becomes fairly obvious that of the last 15 winners 13 of them had already won that season - the two exceptions were oddly Micheel and Dufner who both won @ Oak Hill. For some reason Americans have a better record in this Major than the others - possibly down to the heat and humidity in August in the states where it is staged and don't be put off by backing outsiders - they have a good record. Lastly seven of the last ten winners had posted at least a top six finish in the Major before. I have come up with five golfers who fulfill at least some of these criteria.
My first selection was Jonas Blixt mainly due to his big price especially when you consider his recent form in Majors. He was a pretty consistent golfer over the last few years winning in both 2012 and 2013 and finishing 4th in this last year. 2014 has not been a great year for the Swede but he did pop up from nowhere on his Masters debut to finish 2nd @ Augusta. At 250/1 he has to be worth a small risk 0.2 ew - now available with 6 places on offer.
Hideki Matsuyama heads to Valhalla with that all important win earlier in the season and it could well be a good omen for him that it came on another Jack Nicklaus course @ Muirfield Village which some people think is a good fit for Valhalla. That win came after a consistent run of form on his return from injury and added to five wins the youngster had already achieved in Japan in his short career. In just 24 starts in the US he can also boast a 3rd a 4th and a 10th in the US Open last year and was an ever improving 12th last week @ Firestone. He is a huge talent and worthy of a decent bet 0.4 ew 66/1 6 places
Scott Stallings' performances on the golf course bear a remarkable similarity to Forrest Gumps' box of chocolates - you never know what you are going to get! However he has that all important win this season - coming in a top class event @ Torrey Pines. He also seems to have a penchant for Jack Nicklaus courses having won @ Annandale, finished 4th @ Muirfield and he should have won when we were on him in the Humana. Being from Tennessee he will be well used to the heat and humidity and if we can catch him on a going week he is a ridiculously big price 0.1 ew 400/1 6 places.
Talking of local players then we simply have to have Kentuckian JB Holmes in our line-up. He returned to form this year after taking time off for brain and elbow surgery and a broken ankle! He won @ Quail Hollow this year after a consistent run of form and that event is often taken by Major performers. He would clearly love to delight the home fans who probably still feel their other home grown player Kenny Perry should have won here back in 2000. Perry was a stalwart in the US Ryder Cup team that easily beat Europe here at Valhalla in 2008 and his efforts were actually surpassed by a young Holmes who was a Captains pick that year. He has been well tipped up because of his local connections which comes as no great surprise 0.25 ew 110/1 6 places.
My big outsider will come as a surprise to most but there is method in my madness so bear with me! Scott Piercy doesn't have a win under his belt this year but then again he did miss a big chunk having gone through elbow surgery - he does however fit the criteria of a top finish in the event before having been 5th @ Oak Hill last season. What first caught my attention was his his from at this time of year - his two Web.com wins came on the 10th and 28th of August and his two PGA wins on the 29th July and 7th August. Whilst looking for similar courses to Valhalla - namely tree lined parkland with elevation changes I identified Hamilton where Piercy won the Canadian Open and you could almost say that the Nicklaus designed Montreux course fits the bill as well - the scene of his other win. He played a couple of Web.com events as allowed on his return from surgery and his only start on the PGA tour was in Canada where he finished 25th. There was however plenty of encouragement in that as his second round 65 was the 3rd lowest of the day and the closing 66 was joint 8th lowest, he also finished 6th in scrambling and 5th for putts per round. Given that he has finished 5th and 6th after the opening rounds in the last two PGA Championships I have backed him in the first round leader market - 0.1 ew 200/1 and outright 0.4 ew 300/1 6 places.
There were numerous other players that nearly made the final list and I have had savers on Reed 100, Cabrera 150 and Ogilvy 250 all on Betfair.

lol - timing on that!! ty mate :)

hmmm have had a dabble at peircy on here due to the inflated price but just looking at holmes 100 on here or 55/1 W/O big 4 opinions which is the best bet?

Why not do both Vegas JB loves this course will def be in amongst them is my tuppence worth

Backed to many at +500ish a week it feels like its all about the top 5 in market, well well gl guys and hopefully a bunched up leaderboard on sunday!

added Harman @600, I know hes a shoprt hitter and probably at a big disadvantage but at those prices  you don't get everything!!!!!!

Hunter Mahan (PGA)
Colt Knost (Web.com)

I play with the yonex ezone irons. One of the best set of irons I've had. Long and forgiving. Got to love Japanese technology .

added....Miguel Angel Jimenez

yeah appealed massively to me because they are insanely light! from the little go i had, i'm looking at 20 yards further! was the main reasoning, sick to death of seeing mates use 7 iron and i'm stood with the 5!! all because of my little girlie slow swing speed.

show us this swing vegas!

anyone got link to the best leaderboard to use?   the pga one keeps opening up stats on the #1 player and its fooking annoying
