Fedex Series Golf Finale

And the big man makes it! have a few quid on him for 1st round leader, another birdie should seal the deal.

12 ft for -7!

-7, go you feckin dancer Padraig!

Best round he has played in a very long time assumin he dont fck up at the last!

shot a 62 in the states first round about 3 months ago, -10 BJG, but played like me the rest of the tournament.

93% fairways & 88% greens hit,No.1 on shots gained GIR, super stuff Pod.

was only thinking earlier did you back pod for 1st round leader deplaster delight you did,what price did you get?

only 4 quid Huddys at 55 here . Hopefully should be ok.

Fingers crossed.

Wd with 1st rd leader Deplasterer,followed you with Bjorn(25,s) in Scotland for an interest in it,nearly every shot they showed yesterday of him was from a bunker,hopefully will have used up his quota of them.
Still wide open in the States.GL

GL Pa, hopefully Bjorn gives you a run,lot of danger men up there already, Colesarts, Lawrie & Molinari.

Can't decide whether to trade Pod for stake at 11's (have him at 95's), feel if he can shoot -2 or -3 today will probably be trading aronud 4.5 tommorrow. Decisions, decicisions, any thoughts?

Keep the faith DP, Pod to shove it in Ollys face. He has said on a few occasions after a good first round, that concentration has been a problem. He wont be losing focus this week!!

Yeah your right Callit, I rarely trade unless odds on so would be going against my instincts, Olly is being a right dic k alright, might just spur the great man on to victory too hopefully. GL, u on pre tourney too, I see u tipped him up in the golf forum early.

Thought before the tournament started the back 9 was a fair bit harder than the front,Pod starting on the back 9 this evening,he got 6 birdies and no bogies on it yesterday,being out later suppose you wouldn,t want Fowler,Walker,Rose in particular doing well,think he may harden before he tees off myself.
Yeah,scoring low in scotland,bjorn is looking as if he has a fair bit to do.

Yeah, went with Pod, Tiger, Phil, luke, Zach. Few small bets on rags, Blixt the best of those. Zach biggest winner, still think he great value atm,  but would be cheering for Pod all day long if he in the mix.

See your bets now callit, was here I seen them for fecks sake. Zach big player alright for you, GL, but I'll have the Pod hat on all weekend hopefully.

-3 or 4 will keep right in the mix Pa, early days, as you know.

GL Deplasterer.
Fingers crossed for POD.
Might see u in H-BK tonight.

wd Deplasterer

Jimmy Walker after havin a mare of a start today after bein right in it, 2 bogeys on 1st 2 holes

Will be there Kalnisi, with my Pod scarf on, hopefully it won't be in the fire by 8.30!

Cheers BJG, hopefully he can do the job here, long way to go, nearly all the forumites have at least one going for them going forward, he owes me & a few others on here over this past few years, go Pod.

Dire start for him Dep,bogeyed first 2

+3 through 3 today, only Padraig.

+4 thru 6

my god, what class of eejit has this man become

Be lucky to make the cut at this rate.

he would break your heart from a punting viewpoint

+5 thru 8


he is a total shambles [sorry to those who backed him for laughing]

-6 for the back 9 yesterday

+5 for the first 8 on the back 9 today

11 shots difference, quite incredible and the worst thing is nobody is surprised.

permed up molinari and colsaerts 11/2 and 6/1 in europe earlier today with woods and dustin johnson in the fed ex 8/1 and 14/1,so should have a good interest,all to win around the same amount,

Terrible day for my selections yesterday!! And Olesen didn't do me any favours in Europe either. Don't need to be worrying about laying anything off at the moment anyway! Hopefully Tiger gets the back sorted.

Pa, nice start for Thomas has birdied his first 2 best of luck. Lookin for Pod to do something similar tonight!

Another one for him Dep,wanting leaders not to start well now.
Bit unfair to pod yesterday as a lot of players really struggled,(including Luke)

Didn't see any of the coverage yesterday. Was course playing a lot harder in the evening? John Huh has sneaked into it....thank god...,he usually further off the pace at the halfway stage. Think he has great temperament,doesn't look like he is going to be afraid of finishing lines, might top up on him.

Crusty greens Callit, putts wetrnt dropping. Pods chipping let him down mainly, still fought hard to be -1 his last 10 holes were lesser players would have folded. still only halfway and 5 behind. I am the eternal optimist though!

-4 Thru 8 Pa, 1 behind!

Better start from Pod today. Hopefully can work his way to 8 under. Should be in with some sort of stab at it tomorrow then. Some glut of players at 4 under.

Would be nice if Snedeker and Fowler could pick another shot or 2 up each over the last few holes! Would b right in it

Right in the mix already bjg, GL.

Rickie 5 over for his last 7 holes

Backed Tiger, Phil and westwood there at combined 14s. Think it worth a stab. Obviously reliant on Serg having a bad day, but acouple of missed early putts, and angry serg could appear! I tink Watney is an 80 waiting to happen, and those between him and the 4 unders dont inspire much confidence on a Sunday.

snedeker has a decent record coming from behind to win, fancy him to challenge serge more than watney but garcia looks so confident right now i'd say he'll hold on

Hoping for a collapse but think he probably will hold on as well,scoring doesn,t look as hard as yesterday.

Very hard to pick who will win, but a Sergio meltdown is well overdue.
Im still shocked he won last week

layed him moneypenny ...he's due a bad day at the office ...a good lay @ 1.98..imo...

considering a big lay myself wr- only problem i have is i think he should be shorter. if he goes 1.9 or less i will lay him

Laid serg, watney, estes, vj, senden before play yesterday. Laid serg and watney again tonight. Belly up if either of them win!! Waiting on ogilvy, dusty and bubba for 7man yankee in the two balls. Would ease the pain!!

Come on dustin can you finish with another 1 or 2 birdies and post a score

Clinging on to a bit of hope myself with Luke top 10 and w/p with Tim Clark,Sergio bogey helps there.

English after nailing his second on the 15th. That does Bubba anyway.

English treble bogey the last! Thank you Harris!

Some really bad performances over the weekend.

Phil is lurking around there with this new putting grip. One to watch next week and the remaining weeks.

ruby ,     i'd leave phil alone for a few weeks with that claw grip....bet he dont have it for the ryder.....sergio bak to his old ways ...

well done on the lay wr- talked myself out of it

had to pop out for 9 holes myself moneypenny , so missed a lot of the start ...what was his lowest price.....i should have stayed home for all the use i was on the course...

He bogeyed the first and never improved his position from there as far as i can see. Was out myself so dont know for sure but dont think he went any shorter than price you laid him at

thanks ..off to bed night all , god bless....

2nd   wd winners

Deutche Bank this week as the 2nd leg. First bet on order Dustin Johnson. will look later for my 2nd choice.

Hope you did Sneds place also BJG would have ben at least 25‘s here?

Nope win only

2 seconds and 2 thirds the last 4 weeks, had the other 3 to place tho thankfully! On we go again...

lowest price for sergio around 1.65

wow lendme , that was worth taking on as a lay...

haha wr i was on garcia all week! i also had decent greens on watney and snedeker but ended up making a mess of things as watney was the one i least fancied, oh well a win is a win even if it's not as much as you'd hope. nick is a hard player to figure out, pulls out spectacular shots and putts and follows up with a couple of three putts! he was definitely helped with garcia's capitulation, watney is one i'd be laying down the stretch in a major. well done wr hope you cleaned up

thanks lendme...i'd agree re watney , his wedge from the middle of the bunker on the 16th or 17 th was unreal ..even i wouldn't do that.......i'd take him on if hes ever in that position again....

middle of the fairway even....

oh yeah remember it well, a shot like that should carry automatic disqualification. i think sergio was spent so couldn't take advantage, a keegan bradley or zach johnson up there would have gobbled him up!!

Off to Boston this week,since ,03 Woods with a win and two 2nds,A Scott a win and a second and Luke Donald a second and third in the last two years seem to have the best course form.Don,t think on the basis of last weeks play that you could fancy any of them with great confidence.
Someone i think might go well here could be described as the epitome of a journeyman golfer after losing his card a few times in the last 5 years,he has also missed his last two cuts,and to top it all had severe scolliosis(curvature of his spine)as a teenager.I suppose if anyone said there was a bit of a "want"in me after reading that it would be hard to argue.However he has a few things in his favour,top players none seem to be playing outstanding imo,it is the bare 100 man field,players with a similar profile such as O.Browne,S. Verplank,M.Weir,Mediate and Bohn have all done well here and his stats  with 6 top 10,s from 26 events(23% approx)says he is having a good year overall.
At 18/1 Ken Duke seems a fair price to reach the top 10(500+ for the win,i,d expect both price to drift a little by tomorrow evening),i,d be very surprised not to see Donald reach the top 10 with his record here and 6/4 isn,t bad at all.Still just going to start this week with Mr Duke,good luck with yours.

Duke was playin very well a month or two back, has cooled a bit since then but I've seen worse 18/1 shots Pa, GL. Luke at 6-4 lokks a shoe in alright, but I tend to shy away from the shortish prices as the stakes tend to be much bigger, thus losses as a result.

Choosing between Snedeker & Donald for my 2nd pick, see how the market shapes up before deciding. Friday start/Monday finish this week remember, Labor day in the states apparently.

E.w Westwood at 28s so far. If Stevie Wonder had of taking his putts from inside 6ft last week, he probably would of won. Now that he has his confidence back in his long game, he wont be far away. And Tony Johnstone might just start to sort out his short game.

Some very big prices down the lists this week - now just to sort em out!

^ Agree there,could be Eddie is playing this week,strongest i,ve seen the market other than a major for a good while.

Looks lik it, plenty up on the daq too, some a few points bigger than here, worth a look b4 bettin on here!

2 against the field for this week,1st e/w dustin at mentioned in earlier post been in very good form and also westwood with changing his short game coach and caddie,have had a nice bet on both at 20/1 and 28/1 e/w will be very disappointed if i dont make a nice profit this week,best of luck to all,on duke hasnt played well since he was right in the running for a tournament a while back but seems good value for a top 10 place at the price

Tiger could have this won today if he keeps goin , 3 clear already

layed tiger @3.45...

hes not leading anymore...

Just in case anyone isn,t aware,2nd round well underway,out earlier than advertised.

Only the second round what a dope.

Done a double today willett 13/2 in europe and tiger 10/3,in with a good xhance with willett 1 shot behind going into tomorrow.Cant help but have an interest in my sporting hero tiger

Louis meltdown and a 63/64 from Dustybin would be nice. Stranger things have happenned I suppose.

took some of the 6/4 0n offer in powers shops today on Louis not to win

Rory playing some amazing shots atm..well worth tuning in.

Dustin just couldnt buy a putt today,hang in for place money and il break even for the tournament

Prices skinny as you'd expect with only 70 in the penultimate event. Stuck with Dustin again and with Pod needing a top 5/6 to qualify for the tour championship next week had a place bet on him. Rory the man to beat again though. GL.

Shaping up to be a cracker,Mcilroy and Woods went blow for blow yesterday.Think if Rory beats him in this there will be no stopping him.Tigers crown on the line here.

BTW,field out at 1.00 and Woods at 2.39 a bit earlier than yesterday.

-7 Pod, 2nd best round of the day. Hoprfully can back it up with a nice solid round tommorrow, right in the mix. all 3 Irishmen.

Not deserting him, 3rd week running on4 fedex Dustin 18.5. Rory again???

I think tiger will take it all myself

Know the points are added up throughout the year but with this resetting business despite Mcilroy after winning two out of the three main playoff events it seems as if he could be caught by four others which i.m not sure is the correct way of doing it.

Correct pa, re jigged this year to stop final event being a formality, between top 5 unless some strange result occurs.

was the same format last year
and haas came from twenty something to win it all

Sorry for the late post lads but only one bet for me this week,went in and had a bet on Tiger at 5/1,great start but alone way to go.best of luck to everyone

Good start MP for Tigger.

and Huddys.

Points have changed this year MP, very unlikely someone outside the top 5 can win.

Snedeker takes the big pot in the end with figures of 2/6/37/1 in the play off events.Could begrudge him in the slightest,no messing about with him with shot taking and no histrionics unlike some bigger names,a credit to the game and good for him.

Plays refreshingly , brilliant putter .  Emotional week for him outside the golf ( coach etc) .

But the pot is too big  , not sure its a good thing for golf , Westwood finishes 14 over and gets 300 grand , its pretty complicated and becomes a bit like watching a roulette wheel spin  , which is not for me . You cant win at roulette despite the continuous efforts by those pushing it via websites , films , TV ads etc.

I,d agree pot is a little big,it is obscene money,as a viewer i,d have no complaints as following the USPGA it gives a chance to see the worlds best 5 weeks out of 7.Points thing was complicated indeed suppose it stems from Singhs not having to turn up for the last event to win it a few years ago. Big money game there now alright anyone that gets their card is almost guaranteed a million for the season.

Congrats to BJG for his shrewd punt on Sneds @ 120 !

^^Unfortunately i,d imagine that was for the first event and not overall.

Oh sorry ...I was skimming to see if anyone had identified the Fedex winner .
Congratulations hereby retracted !

Unfortunately pa is correct
