vegasdreams, you're challenging Ski and me for the title of bigest teams. (Layers aren't counted by the way)
I'm well down the field this week. Only a team of 24, but I've got 7 of the top 11. Need to do something about Stenson, Furyk, Garcia and Scott. The cash-out says I can take a profit of £73.00, my spreadsheet says I can green up for £76.00 and still have six multiK winners. Rory is one of my smaller winners. Good luck with yours. |

so what if their ball plugs in the middle of the fairway? it will just be tough luck?
|
|
By:
Yeah, just introduces a huge element of luck even for the guys finding the centre of the fairway. First bit of bad news for Rory.
|
|
By:
Speaking of bad luck....apparently Ryan Palmer has been stuck in the tower next to the first green to wait it out because the players weren't taken in. Resuming at 1.35 our time. Seems odd as there seems to be a lot of standing water.

I just had to google what preffered lies means :p
Never heard winter rules called that, where I play. |
|
By:
Haven't looked at the leaderboard. I'll have a look when I've fed the the dogs. Theyr're getting twitchy waiting for 1.30.

By:
Still get relief if the ball is plugged in the fairway don't you? Even without lift, clean & place.
|
|
By:
I would think so BHLL. Would be a bit of a farce if not. Hit the middle of the fairway with the drive then play your 2nd 5 yards along the ground because it's buried?
|
|
By:
Yes and in rough I believe
 |
|
By:
see i think Rory is a terrible price - yeah he's da boy at the moment BUT ON THIS BIRDIE FEST COURSE does that not kinda takeaway from his advantage???
The fact that most are capable of 6/7/8/9 birdies in becomes much more open imo. |

Rory Furyk Rose Garcia Scott Bubba C Wood Lowry Keegan Jiminez |

vegas, of all the tournaments he has won his worst score is -12, so I think it's the opposite. The birdie fest suits him, it doesn't hurt him. An attritional course or a plodders course wouldn't, but this type of track is in his wheelhouse. Not many who can go with him if he plays well for 4 days.

It going to be difficult to play well in this weather especially when one has to wear wear more clothings as it tends to interfere with one's swing.
|

By:
big thing in that rhino is HIS SCORES the rest in alot of the other ones were playing a harder course!!
|
|
By:
Could be to the advantage of Rory and Westwood, and to a lesser degree Stenson, Ski. More used to playing in the rain than most of the US golfers.
vegasdreams, only have four of the top ten on the leaderboard. Can add quite a few for not a lot of stake money. I think I'm going to take some of my Rory green out and splash it about a bit. |
|
By:
Vegas he will win or he won't, think you're over analysing. If he doesn't, it wasn't because the course favoured others. He can have a so so day and shoot -4. Others will have to play well to shoot -4.
|
|
By:
Looks like you and I are in the same boat, Ski. Anti Stenson. I only half fancy him and I think he's too short.
|
|
By:
In his press conf you can tell he already feels at home on the course, talking of how he feels comfortable he is now shaping the ball left and right and how receptive the course is.
You can just sense what is going to happen. |

By:
"Vegas he will win or he won't, think you're over analysing" - has been known to happen lol
 convinced myself no anyway , taking 225 out of rory - so book now read - 31 of the people still "in it" winning 500 ish field + 100 - rory red for 600 - ven if he wins which obv has big chance there will be up's and downs in the market for him. |

Rickie Fowler 133.42
Brendon De Jonge 4138.50 Scott Stallings 3221.00 Seung-Yul Noh 681.00 Shaun Micheel 3801.00 Colin Montgomery 2345.00 Phil Mickelson 173.00 Tiger Woods 377.00 Jordan Spieth 353.00 Graeme McDowell 151.00 Martin Kaymer 373.00 Lee Westwood 689.90 Nick Watney 525.80 Brandt Snedeker 4371.00 Scott Piercy 2241.00 Graham DeLaet 261.00 Miguel Angel Jimenez 601.00 Ryan Palmer 2164.05 Ryan Moore 781.00 Justin Rose 430.85 Brendon Todd 351.00 Rory McIlroy 135.13 Shawn Stefani 1241.00 Kevin Chappell 351.00 The Field -199.00 Not the prettiest book you've ever seen, but I should end up with a plus sign. Can write off Stallings, looks like a snowman at best on the par 5 tenth. |

By:
Didn't have a bet until 1.15 pm. UK time yesterday. Had I started earlier, it would have been a bigger team.
Shot tracker will drive your crackers. Just given Stallings a shot back, only a 7 at the 10th. |
|
By:
Scary stuff @ the moment tbh thought Stallings after a qiet day yesterday would maybe rip it up a little seems the only thing he will be ripping is his and my hair out lol
|
|
By:
He's getting worse, guru1.
|
|
By:
hoe far behind is shot tracker form the action? 5 minutes? 10?
|
|
By:
all over the place leroy imo, sometimes it's quite quick, sometimes a player takes 20 minutes to play another shot
|

By:
Ah well, fun while it lasted.
