Considering the height / distance disadvantage he has this Blair is some player. Won't contend on every track but putting the way he does definitely one to watch.

well had to try salvage this with a punt on kid Si Woo Kim ,considering sneds albeit a talent hasn't been prolific in the last 2 years, blair maybe plenty to come but simply has never won bar team events, kisner have him onside but only stake back but is the most likely imo.
16/1 seems very fair, not a flash in the pan, he's been top 25 in 3 of his 5 starts this year, and seems to have that winning mentality with the web last year and a really smart ametuer career. make or break, filling me boots at 16/1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

well i'm in now!!
have took a good lump of this si woo kim for top 5 @ 13/8, very happy at that, if u like the even safer bet the 2/1on for top10 with sj is a steal imo | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

See what you mean about Blair ,bosman he's an umpa lumpa .tiny must be my height
 .backed him before but never seen him in the flesh .this is horrible .one if my bets Sneds who's practically led all the way from round one all over the gaff .kisner my better hope and had Gomez from start .just as well out a few quid on Blair and Kim earlier today to cover me a bit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
Gomez is an interesting one, dunno what it is but those Argentinian lads like Cabrera or Romero seem to go months or even years without contending once then just pop up and win, looking like he might be the same.

There are 25 rookies on the PGA TOUR in 2016-17.
My man Cody Gribble embodied the land of extremes en route to the best-ever finish for a rookie at the SBS Tournament of Champions. The lefty shared 14th place at 12-under 280, 10 strokes adrift of champion Justin Thomas - that's pretty good first time out. Gribble led the field of 32 in both strokes gained: putting and fewest putts. He also co-led in par-5 scoring at Kapalua. However, he tied for second-to-last in greens in regulation and ranked last in proximity to the hole. Of the five rookies who have appeared in the history of the tournament, Gribble’s three-way T14 was one better than Smylie Kaufman’s three-way T15 last year, although Kaufman still owns the rookie scoring record of 14-under 278. Ranking so far..... 1 Cody Gribble WON 2 Mackenzie Hughes WON 3 Xander Schauffele 4 Cheng Tsung Pan 5 Ryan Blaum 6 Ryan Brehm 7 Trey Mullinax 8 Ollie Schniederjans 9 Grayson Murray 10 Seamus Power All in the in the field at the Sony Open 2017 except Murray. KEVIN KISNER 80's, PIERCY, WOODLAND & HOWELL 111 have all good form course form. See Poor Paddy only go 66's [u]BUT 7 places this week[/u] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Have not yet checked out the DEBUTANT RECORD here in Waialae Country Club...But a few interesting higher OWGR ranked players this week include...
Soren Kjeldsen Anirban Lahiri Smylie Kaufman Patrick Rodgers Also, the highest ranked is Branden Grace making his debut here but after last weeks display he gets a pass this week (would be better off in SA ffs).  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The ‘Black JAPAN’ angle.....
Another white pants for Matsuyama after the small stains last week – he has missed the cut all four times he’s played here in the last six years!!! OWGR #55 Hideto Tanihara @300/1 is the next highest ranked player (73,8,54 here in last 4 years and in good form on the Japanese Tour) - that might become the 4th Asian to capture the Sony Open - after Japan’s Isao Aoki (1983), Fiji’s Singh (2005) and Korean K.J. Choi in 2008. Also on a sponsor exemption are #96 Satoshi Kodaira 300's (MC last year) & #104 Daisuke Kataoka 250/1 (33rd last year). The other two Japs are Yusaku Miyazato (70,MC,MC in last 3 year) & Hiroshi Iwata (MC, MC, MC). IF any Asian were to win here this week then it‘s 21yo Si-Woo Kim @80/1 (4th last year) BUT a poor display last week 75,70,69,78 for even par 292 does not enthuse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A little Hawaiian Island hopping from MAUI to OAHU for this week’s Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu for the PGA TOUR's first full-field event of the year attracting 144 of the world's finest golfers. In 2017, Waialae Country Club will be fifty-two years hosting the PGA TOUR - only exceeded by just three other venues. The Hawaiian Open started in 1965, and the tournament has been played every year with the exception of 1970, when a schedule change moved it from fall to winter. In 1999, it became the Sony Open in Hawaii. Sony Corporation extended its commitment to sponsor the tournament through 2018 - the 20th anniversary of title sponsor entitlement of the tournament.
The form of the top 6 ranked players... Jordan Spieth – ranked fifth in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), hasn’t played Waialae since 2014, when he missed the cut in his debut after finishing runner-up at Kapalua. Spieth called his first Sony performance a “fluke,” and although he had to verify the name of the course – “What is it, Waialae?” Spieth said Sunday – Spieth’s caddie Michael Greller likes his player’s chances on the course. “Michael has told me for the last couple years … Waialae is one of the best courses on Tour for you,” Spieth said. “It’s almost like your Hilton Head, your Colonial, you have to kind of strike it around both ways and play in the wind, and we feel like that kind of plays to our strength, kind of trickier reads on the greens. You can make putts from mid-range and off a bunch of ridges.” Hideki Matsuyama - mc, mc, mc, mc.....I mean why does the 24yo even bother showing up? Paul Casey - 30th in 2015 & MC way back in 2005 and incommunicado no comment to make for the 10 weeks. Branden Grace - makes his debut after last week v v poor effort (should be in South Africa ffs). Justin Rose - 13th & 12th in 2011/2010 with MC & 20 in 2006/2005. Russell Knox - mc,13,mc,mc,mc in the last 5 years - well done making the long journey/flight again. Perhaps he's a surfer? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

John Oda (nicknamed 'Joda') a Honolulu native (and junior from UNLV) gets into this week's Sony via the qualifier event along with fellow Hawaiian Jared Sawada. Tadd Fujikawa and John Chin also advanced after a play-off to secure the 143rd and 144th spots in this field.
The highlight of Joda's round came at the par-3 seventh with a hole-in-one. The World Amateur Golf Rankings #22 has played just one PGA TOUR event - a MC here at the 2012 edition while still in high school - but will have local knowledge on his side - keep one eye out on his progress this week. The 7's for SPIETHless with StanJimmy won't last  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It’s been 27 events since the last pre-tournament favourite(s) won on TOUR - Spieth is the most recent, winning the 2016 DEAN & DELUCA as the 6/1 outright fav - In fact, Spieth owns the last two wins in this regard, by also winning in Maui last year as the 4/1fav.....A three-peat on the way?

Used to be that ‘learning to win’ was supposedly the toughest thing for newcomers on tour,.....but we’re seeing guys do that earlier and earlier during their PGA Tour careers
– The RSM was Hughes’ 9th start on Tour and fellow rookie Cody Gribble won the Sanderson Farms Championship in October in what was just his second start since earning his Tour card. It seems like the decision to switch things up in 2014 and award Tour cards based solely on Web.Com Tour performance rather than Q-School has produced players, like Thomas and Gribble, who are much more likely to win early than guys fresh off a college campus because they’ve already earned their stripes in the minor leagues. |
