Tiger 17s at Firestone 
And it's not enticing
Love this event, love the course, Firestone top shelf for me, reckon it's one of the best on Tour. Had a few early prices to start the week:
Rory 8.4 - Same price as PGA but in a limited field on a course he plays well
Stenson 27/28 - Use 3 wood all week on these tight fairways please big fella, don't even pack the driver.
Kuchar 36 - More than fair for Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Charl 80 - A tad big perhaps.
Silly season is officially upon us, Firestone this week, PGA next week and then the 4 playoff events to come. Happy days

Just been in the loft and found my old Elliot's Golf Form books from 1999 - 2004 tucked away in a box (they were quite handy pre internet) In 2000 Tiger won this tournament by 11 shots at 11/8. Those were the days

what sorta chance has striker lads?..does course suit him..
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
Would take his absolute best to win Kavvie and even that may not be enough. Not for me, but think there are far worse bets than Stricker in top 5/10 markets.

@vegas........your practising of the tables above has paid off.
How long did it take you to do it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well if the Tiger is ever going to come back to some sort of form this is the place it is going to be.
Tiger @ 19.5 Webb @ 95 Furyk @ 27 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

lol ski
a little too long to be fair but was just doing a line in-between racing - I'm sure there will be a formula to maybe just insert the data into a kinda template thru word/open office? but sadly I am still at the most basic of levels as far as that stuff goes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
mcilrory isnt tigger though is he. he wins the open and suddenly hes 8.0 to win this. not my idea of a value bet.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
He is not but is the best since. Big couple of weeks for Rory. After he won the PGA he went on a fantastic run till the end of that season. He can make a big statement over the next six weeks and cement himself as the world's elite player.
I think his price is fair this week, wouldn't be surprised if this is the biggest he goes off for a while. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
why do you think that? he didnt win the tournament the week before the open. shot a 78 the 2nd round after being in contention. doesnt fill me with much confidence hes the next best thing.

Just in-case anyone doesn't know this one, wont be many as it's been on the tour for 50 years!!!
COURSE Firestone Country Club (South Course) Akron, Ohio 7,400 yards Par 35-35–70 Tough test simply because on its length, a relatively straight course all in all. The Par 5 16th At 667-yards, it is one of the longest Par 5′s on Tour. A green-side pond messes up any golfers trying to reach in two as well as third shots. The hardest hole on the course and the 37th toughest on the PGA Tour in 2013 was the ninth, the 494 yard par 4 that played to an average of 4.308. Other difficult holes include the 471-yard par 4, 4th hole . Last year it was the second-toughest hole on the course average of 4.267. Classic last to finish off - The 464-yard Par 4 18th is very narrow and is protected by bunkers at the front of the green.the fourth-toughest hole, a 4.1485 average Last year the course played to a 71.051 average, the 9th hardest course on the PGA Tour. GREENS GREENS GREENS + PUTTING + DISTANCE + ACCURACY in that order is what u need here, in fact you simply need a bit of everything, with that in mind The top ten in THE PGA All-Around Ranking - Y-T-D-statistics is not a bad place to find your winner!! Adam Scott Sergio Garcia Dustin Johnson Bubba Watson Rory McIlroy Justin Rose Martin Kaymer Zach Johnson Kevin Na Ryan Moore I'm knees deep in adam scott, just don't see him losing this, has it all and playing very well, clear "2nd" in my head at the open a fortnight ago, meaning performed well above everyone else his side of the draw, and not to take anything away from rory, but I think he'd have had to fight a lot harder if scott was with him. so for me it's ADAM SCOTT + a load of 100/1 plus fun punts, which i'll stick up when I'm finished  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

how about henley first round leader? more likely than fourth round leader
i'm feeling some kind of adam scott first round shenanigans though. he does sometimes do a mugilroy and start super crazy then tread water for the rest of the tourney. first round leader i got: henley ponce legend im on these guys in the outright also: stevie G asian paratrooper dubuisson keegan duffman ponce five hour energy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Boy wonder on the drift. The Asian paratrooper is Thongchai, 5 hour energy is Jim, legend is Jimenez I think, struggling with Stevie G. Spieth?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
I'm going to take a mad guess that it might be Stephen Gallacher.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
I would assume that Stevie G is exactly what it says on the tin. Mr Gallacher.
Bill Haas 80/1 E/W Harris English 100/1 E/W Traded Matt Jones 600+/500 for a nice freebie. Kaymer @ 45s. He's done ok here in the past, and looks the value at the top end. I also think that he is a decent price in his 2 ball against Tiger tomorrow. Good luck. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Kaymer looks a great price indeed maggot.

ok i'm a thinker so i'm thinking, how did you, rhino, come up with jordan spieth from stevie g?
i'm stumped!! throw me frickin bone. you managed the rest of the clues quite well man  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

if i had said 'porn star' who would you have come up with?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Probably Fowler.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
pretty close. dubuisson
. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
He was 2nd, no word of a lie. Fowler is Dicaprio isn't he? Rickie looks most like a porn star with the mo going.
