The 2nd major of the year kicks off on Thursday with the Olympic Club in San Francisco expected to be a tougher test than Rorys win last year. Dont expect too many under par here with length & accuracy on tight fairways and unforgiving rough the most important attributes on this course.
My two against the field are:
Jason Dufner 30's here - two time winner on tour already this year, is accurate off the tee and although putting can be suspect under pressure am hoping for a good run from him.
Justin Rose 34's here - Again near the top of the stats for driving accuracy and if he can get the putter hot may be his time to capture his first major.
May add Luke Donald later if he drifts a bit the next few days.
Good luck.

Also did a bit of research on the course (very proud of myself) and www.pga.com had Par of 71 with the 1st hole as a 517yd Par5. So I backed winning score of 285+ (284 would be par) at odds of 15/8. Only to discover that for this tournament, the first hole is a 520yd Par4 which means 285 would be +5 for the tournament.

Anyone any idea what time last group will be scheduled to go out on Sunday? Sky on air til 3am, so looks like leaders prob go out same time as thurs/fri marquee 3balls? Late finish! Especially wit Sunday closing hours!
Similar timezone as McDowells year, Callit, & I think it was 2.30 am before it finished.
6 players out so far, 5 of them already +1
, good to see them suffer.

Cheers, yeah GMac was late finish alright...i think!
Mickleson lost ball at the first, back to reload, this is going to be fun!
Whats your Link? Sky had scheduled to show Tiger group from 3.30, but seem to hav pulled plug on it

Mickelson and Tigers group are on the red button
Tiger about 20ft for birdie, shot bounced out of the rough onto green giving him a chance
Guessed we wouldn't have long to wait for the Harrington double bogey - didn't think it would happen at a par 5 though.
Probably a few more in the locker before he's through.

Luckily I traded out of Rory at 19 , early on when he was still looking interested and competing hard for a score . All went pear shaped then , missing greens all the time . Cant understand how ANY pro ( and Rory is top 3 in the world which makes it even worse ) can miss a green from 79 yards with a wedge in his hand . It should be about 6 feet max from the pin .
Globe trotting is not helping his game , needs a spell at home working on basics which made him so good . Current product is nowhere near his standards .

As predicted tough conditions, Pod had 2 4 putts, a 3 putt and two duff chips and still finished on the premises at +4!Tiger's price is crazy at 2's on a course like this especially as he plays the tough holes 1-6 tonight on bruised greens tonight. Happy with Rose & Dufner though.. Anyone who makes the cut this evening can't be ruled out on this course.

Brutal going alright,1/2 dozen players under par,mcilroy +7,Donald+9 says it all.Started to dream yesterday as at one stage J. Bohn was 2 clear,anyway did his job and book is almost level.Still a lot in with a shout, as you say,other than Woods,Rose,Watney,Toms and Mc Dowell all have obvious chances.
Hoping today C.Wittenberg +1 @1000 can do the same as Bohn,out early at 3.26 will be an interest.

What is the cut line?
Leaderboard says "Top 60 + ties" which would mean the cut is +4 but the black line on the leaderboard is after +6 which implies that this is the cut line. +6 would only make sense if the "winthin 10 shots of leader" rule was in place but I thought they did away with this rule a couple of years ago

Found the answer
This is the first year that the 10-shot rule will NOT be in force.

So McIlroy is actually 3 shots from safety at the moment

Db, don't be surprised if the cut is +8/9 after this evening, possibly level par leading at end of day's play.
I appreciate that but the official leaderboard is giving out incorrect info (from what i can see). It says McIlroy is 1 shot outside the cut and Mickelson is 1 shot inside when actually they are both 2 shots worse off than that.
They are both available to lay at 3.5 to make the cut

Tiger backers must be delighted with how yesterday went
Don,t think i,d lay them at 3.5 DB,Mcilroy out early and Phil very near the line in anycase.

+5 seems the average score yesterday,assuming its the same conditions today,given that the -4 are in would it be feasible to say the cut could be +9?,think it will be 7-8 myself,fairly rare for both phil and rory to have two bad rounds in a row(tough course too though) anyway that would be my take on it.
Tiger was very clever with his play yesterday shunning the driver,as deplasterer say 1-6 very tough and if he gets through them tonight in par +1 ought to have a great chance.

I persume Tiger is out later today? If the wind gets up again like yesterday and dries the greens out it will make it a lot tougher but he looked in near total control of his golf ball yesterday which is a good omen for his supporters.
Take the leader out & using -1 as the "leaders", some juicy prices available for those +2 downwards, Pod (+4) at 270 & W Simpson (+2) at 100, tempting.
Not good from Rory.
Perhaps now he'll get his head down so to speak.

Great round from Furyk, about all ive left standin already
Rory +10
Rory +10
Watching the match,surely if Dufner gets even a par on the last,don,t think he will be that far behind when all finished.
At this moment unless I'm reading this wrong Jim Furyk is club-house leader at-1, yet is 30 on here, and 7/2 with Powers 
GMAC 50/1 MASSIVE PRICE FOR BLOKE WHO HAS DONE IT B4 AS IS CHARL SCHWARTZEL 70/1 AND HUNTER MAHAN 46/1 . BACKED GMAC TOP IRISHMAN 9/2
LMFAO BET ON USPGA NOT US OPEN THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU UP EARLY AND 2 WEEK BREAK , AH WELL GMAC @17 MAHAN @42 SCHWARTZEL @38 ILL LEAVE THE BETS ON FOR THE USPGA AS COULD WELL BE fate

Rory got precisely what he deserved from this week.
Hopefully GMac can deliver from here.

very happy with the way things are going for me,with tiger outright only outright bet that ive done,and my trixie of rose top englishman 4/1 pod top irishman 7/2 and day top australian and new zealand 5/2 is going along nicely,day and harrington done great yesterday they could of missed the cut if they had a bad round,roll on tonight,last tee time 11:05 tonight
I thought Tiger was shockingly bad value @ around 6/1-13/2 (i know billies went 10s one day), however i'd love to be on even at 6s now He looks in good control of his game to me
He looks in good control of his game to me
Huddys having put the mockers on you last week surely lightning can`t strike again but that is some impressive book of bets you have,hope they all come up for you especially Harrington.
I think Betpack went big at one stage too in the end, not sure how big though.
You'd imagine 2 more 70s wins the competition for him and they way he has played the last 2 days it would be a shock where he to fail to get them.

thanks wildman great interest alright,stil gutted after rory blew it in style last week,the pressure on me bigtime a few of my mates asked me what bets to do in the golf earlier in the week,so told them to to my bets
Harrington makes a super steady start to Rd.3 -pars the first 6 tough holes ....then bogeys the drivable par 4 7th.
How typical is that ?
How typical is that ?
GMac playin brilliantly so far, could be tied for the lead in a min
Hopefully Westwood gets off to a fast start tonight, great finish on 18 last night after making a balls of trying to get up and down on 17
Not a single player of the first 2 dozen out under par,either the wind is up or they didn,t water much.Tough going tonight which should make good viewing.Did Adams 50,s and Senden at 66,s to try and change the colour of the screen,gl anyone with an interest.
just seen that alright,god must be very hard going today,any idea what will be the winning score pa lapsy?
Huddys,haven,t a clue tbh,think +1 could win and might be Furyk as he has a safe game,i,m only guessing.If it,s like that for the earlier starters ought to in theory be worse for the later ones with drying greens.
The conditions should suit GMac. I hope he wins for Ireland.
I am intrigued as to how you got your user name.
stunning birdie on 2 by Westwood, 2nd shot was sublime
I'd love to see Pod shoot a good score (-1 today after 9 holes). Sit in clubhouse at +2 or +3. Lots of pressure on the others coming in with 5-6 holes still to play
Looking for it With a pair of bins.
Furyk looking very solid,could do with dropping

Not for me. I'm on Furyk.
Backed McDowell last week and he was brutal so left him out this weekend!

harrington not out of this if he can post a score in the clubhouse you never know,back nine should be very interesting
Needs a bird at de last,them 3 putts lookas if they,re cost him by 1 or 2 in the end,starting to look between furyk,els pieterson and simpson.
Coverage so far behind play yet again,betting suggest simpson missed bird a couple of minutes ago.
Not as bad as some tournaments. Simpson missed the putt when Sky were on break there.
No db,4 figures came in at 3 and 3.05 about a minute before that tony bennett song.
furyk seems to have got a break there.

great tipping again deplaterer tipping simspon at 100/1 and harrington at 340 betting in running
Just saw comments above about Harrington's bogey at the last .
The point is(as he stated) -he figured +2 was not good enough so he had to go for birdie and shoot at the tricky flag.
Yes -he didn't get it right but if he just needed a par he would almost certainly have got it from the middle of the fairway by playing to the safe side of the green.
The ball plugged in the sand because it came in from a height.
He was tactically correct in what he did.

Yes he was tactically right but he also played a terrible iron shot having hit a near perfect drive

I was going to behave like some would like the Irish fans to behave and attack Deplasterer forget all his other brilliant tips and engage in some name calling and a bit of booing but Deplasterer weighed in with the winner in running at 100/1 and the brave Harringtin at 340/1 very disappointing no one to attack now.
The Jolly not the post of the year as he tipped Dustin Johnson last week and got the winner of both tournaments the week before,Deplasterer is mustard on this golf.
awaiting his selections for this week already,hes on some form at the minutes,hats off again
Was really hoping Pod would get it done, right option to go for the flag on 18, just left himself with too much to do aftyer 1st round, great effort & he's been threatening a win all year, his time is nigh very soon. Huddys keep your powder dry for Pod in Portrush in less than 2 weeks time, Rory & Gmac will ensure his price is decent & has a good record there in his amateur days, although draw/weather bias will have to be taken into account before betting.
I caught Jeremy Chapman on ATR on saturday morning advising Tiger at 11/8 for 5 points. Even to a non-golfing man like myself that looked a pretty risky max.
Two top tens in this year's majors augur well for Padraig. Really great to see him right in the thick of things late on yesterday. His comments about loving the test that a US Open event brings were refreshing too.
Well done folks and especially Deplasterer
I was really cheering Paddy on there at the end. He gets great support in the States. Has to be in contention next month in his fav major?
