Just the basics in case anyone's having a crack at the european this week
venue, -Golf Club Torino - 7,208 yard par 72
Narrow fairways, Tree lined / Parkland course.
Very dense and punishing rough
Greens not too bad - Big but not severe more gradual movement.
Flat course with a few bunkers but little water to speak of.
Nothing really stands out from last years visit here for me, things indicate that accuracy is important but in my eyes its more an all round game, not favouring any particular element.
The winning score last year was -12 only seven players hitting double figures, which would say it's far from an easy course - altho i have took an approach that this course gives lots of chances and feel scores will be alot lower this year, just my personal view.
Am already in with Eduardo molinari for this, was in on sun/mon grabbed some 30+ - The brothers grew up playing here and know this course inside out, saw a quote of eduardo's during a 4 shot win here in 2009 - "I play here nearly every day when I’m at home, so I know the course very well." .
with his 2nd in the Irish open and his 7th at hoylake i believe he's playing the best of the brothers and may well runaway with this, 25/1 still a great price imo.
Other bets to follow - Good Luck.

you are welcome sandsave - to get a post on a european thread before the final day is a success lol, there is very little interest, everyone loves the names, and the names follow the money, hence the pga gets 99% of the focus on here.

burnt beefburger for me
last years winning score would give an interesting result i think the molinaris will be looking to better that |
|
By:
at that final score, i think it would be a very very bunched leaderboard.
The rest of mine are a real mixed bag - Quiros @ 70 win/top 5 Quesne @ 75 win top 5 Otto @ 95 win/top 5 jan derkson @ 150 win/top 10 lipsky @ 210 win/tt Otaegui @ 270 win/tt Horne @ 480 win/tt Walker @ 580 win/tt Ptr lawrie @ 860 win/tt Higgins @ 860 win/tt Lamporta @ 1000 win/tt cover stake only on francesco - good luck... |

|
By:
fair play to him , obviously going for it which is right when u see two so far ahead
|
|
By:
Fair play to Gallagher.
|
|
By:
Hope Stephen makes the Ryder Cup team on merit, would be extremely disappointing if McGinley doesn't pick him if he fails to finish top 2. Would be great to have a scot on the team.
|
|
By:
Well, someone's got to do it:
Otto looking unbeatable, unfazed, driving straight and true, putting for fun. No way this guy gets caught. No. Way. |
