This is how you pick up a bag of sand Lay Mr Spieth @ 8.8

8.8 ?????,  layed him @ 7.6 sunday night will be @ backer before play .

It is just the two majors he's won this year isn't it? And can anybody tell who won lasts weeks tournament? When Tiger was in this form he used to start tournaments at 6/4.

last twenty starts 6 wins, 3 seconds, 2 thirds, 14 top tens.

Over the last six months he has gone to another level and is head and shoulders above the rest at the moment. When you consider the increased media attention all the media  interviews he has had to do after the majors wins it has been very impressive.

The weather could beat him but if he gets an even break I doubt many of the field will. He is a worthy favourite.

the wind hitting 20+ mph from 2.00pm friday

20 to 30 mph average on saturday with gusts up 40 mph

Seaside presume has put in his bet laying Speith at 20s like fick!

1st round tee for JS 9.33 am 2nd round 2.34 pm

maybe explains the drift

A fit young man whose body hasn't yet been ravaged by knee and back problems which come along in time as these professional athletes  pulverise themselves through excessive physical exertion.

Is St Andrews the hardest golf course in the world? Not exactly forests of trees are they?

these top players at a disadvantage on day 2 2.00pm+ tee times

bubba watson

ian poulter
lee westwood
sergio garcia
patrick reed
jordan spieth
hideki matsuyama
dustin johnson
jason day
tiger woods
louis oosthuizen

Does challenging playing conditions leave the best players with a diminished chance anyway? Isn't there an argument that the best players will be more likely to  come to the top if  strong winds prevail.

tiger woods never plays well when its wet and windy

shane lowry does

take this rickie fowler goes round in 64 on day 2 the chances of jordan spieth doing the same score in 20+ mph winds is less likely he would be happy with 72

Are you joking or what ? of course the wind makes a difference it can kill a players winning chance stone dead.

This event is as I said 20/1 the field that's why you have seen 500/1 shots win in the past

A player can take 10 on almost any hole.

I am happy with my lay

what holes is that they can take 10 on then ?

Do you not think a player has taken 10 on this course ?

If you look a the records you will see lots of players have taken ten before now on this course

It happens believe me

That put on the 18th was like a dagger in the heart

I hope the wind gets up tomorrow

20 mph now causing chaos

tomorrow 28--35mph

did tiger really start tournaments at 6/4?  i've been punting golf for about 10 years and i can't believe he would be getting backed at that kind of price.  as for speith, i'm really hoping he can deal with it, but so much can happen in the next 3 days, i totally agree with the sentiment of this post.

Was as short as evs and 11/10 that I remember and for some majors 2/1 and 9/4 was the norm

I am expecting Mr Spieth to drop down the field today as he will be going out to play when the wind is really going to blow

post your imaginary lay please.

roida

I have blocked you so please don't post on my treads

post your imaginary lay please.

i remember tiger being around evens for some tournaments like the memorial.

i can certainly recall him being 13/8 for a major. he was around 2/1 at every major for nearly a decade.

to be fair, yes i did use wikipedia, at one point between 1999 and 2001 he won 5 out of 6 majors. going for a longer period, between his pga win in 1999 and us open win in 2008, he won 13 majors out of 35. and finished 2nd in another 5 of em. what price would you want him to be?

play suspended unlucky

OK Lets be careful here we are in a good position so lets give ourselves every chance to win letting the bet run until he comes down in odds to 9 then we can get out

That's what I am going to do and I would advise any one who has followed me to do.

wasn't he as low as 3/1 ?

He might have been as low as 3/1 but we were working on the weather being bad for the second round and waiting to see how that played out.

He is trading @ 13 at the moment

Big thread for a 1.12 tip.

if he was putting well this week he would be within a couple shots of the lead.missed so many short ones. laid him at 4s but backed at 11 for stake back worst case scenario.

sun/mon

5/7 mph wind

favs yanks

any chance the thing gets called off?

Yes he did miss a lot of putts that's when I thought he did not look the winner this week

ttt

oh dear

Seaside, are you still laying him?

****hair away from going odds on there was spieth. instead back out to 7 if op wants to get some money back

spieth pars the last finished 1 shot off the lead. what a great tournament and its still all to play for!

I would have won if they had not F***** around with the play

I will say he should have won missed a lot of putts early

Will not be laying him again that's for sure
