Good to see a bit of interest in the golf on here in recent weeks.
Similar enough event stateside this week, but quite a bit poorer in Europe. I spent quite a lot of time trying to find reasons to desert the market leaders in both events, but find myself quite top heavy on them this week. In Malaysia I did find it quite easy to swerve hot favourite Lee Westwood. I know he is a flat track bully, whose recent wins have quite often come in these far flung events, but in the main they haven't been in quite as good a field as this. I would make Bernd Wiesberger favourite, and have backed accordingly. A best of the day Sunday 67 gave him a share of second here last year, admittedly a distance behind the victorious Westwood. But whereas the big Austrian looks likely to hold clutch putts on a Sunday, the even bigger Englishman still instils little confidence. Not enough to be taking short odds anyway, IMO. Wiesberger comes here in tremendous form, with 3 consecutive top 6s. Its very hard to see him not contend, and easier to envisage him outbattling LJW than the other way around. Danny Willet finally got his win just before Xmas, and will be keen to get to the next level this year, and become a consistent winner. This event offers him a great opportunity to notch again. A couple of missed short putts last week cost him a higher weekend perch, but he showed himself to be still in that pre Christmas form. Given his fondness for this venue, he looks sure to go close once again. The 18s in Boyles was very good, with as Huddys says, the potential to have the win stake refunded. I find it hard to understand how Gary Stal is such a big price. 45-1 in Boyles, and even bigger on here, he is just far too big. 3 weeks ago he took down none other than Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy. Quite a feat, and in the circumstances it was totally flopped a few days later when missing the cut. He bounced right back last week to finish a fine fourth, once again showing how comfortable he is in contention. A cracking bet in his current form. 2.5pts e.w Wiesberger 12-1 1.6pts e.w Danny Willet 18-1 .8pt e.w Gary Stal 45-1 Tiger Woods will be the focus of most media attention Stateside. For Thursday and Friday at least!! Speaking of which, he is currently trading at a similar price to make the cut, that he used to be to win the event. I hope he wins. Very boring selections here, but its about finding winners, and I do believe all my selections are(or at least were) above the price they should be. I was willing Jordan Spieth to miss a few of his late birdie putts on Sunday evening, as he was destroying any chance of layers underestimating him this week. But SkyBet still saw fit to chalk him up at 16-1, and though not accepting the full stake, it was close enough. I filled the rest in at 14s. He looks by far and away the most likely long term challenger to Rorys dominance, and has done for some time. What he is now, is more confident at the business end. His bottle was never in question in my eyes, but he just needed that little bit of extra belief that he could close out these tournaments. He got that in spades before Xmas. This is a tough layout, which examines every aspect of a players games, and Spieth will always thrive in such circumstances. Jason Day could also be said to have not been missed by the layers, but at 16-1 he just about warranted backing. I would make him about 13-1, but do expect him to go very close this week. I firmly believe it will be a big year for the talented Australian, and he will be keen to get off the mark early. As he has done in previous years. Again, the tougher the layout, the more the cream should rise, and about 14 under should be the winning of this. I was hoping to delve further down for other selections, but such are the credentials of Brandt Snedeker, Graeme de Laet, Mark Leishman and Nick Watney, that I thought 30-1, 40-1, 50-1 and 80-1 to be more than acceptable. Tiger Woods apart, Snedekers record around here is very hard to match. He has struggled for the best part of 9 months now, but in company with Spieth last Sunday he showed enough, to suggest that he could be about to come to the boil again at his favourite venue. He was last man in, as I wouldn't have backed him at any less, but he looks sure to contend once again. De Laet finished in a tie for second here last year, and has improved with each event this year. The silly errors are being eliminated more and more, and the putter seems to be finding form. He will be contending again soon, and at 40-1 I thought he was one of the best bets this week. Mark Leishman finished alongside de Laet here last year. These tougher layouts are the time to back the Australian. He struggles at the birdie fests, as he just doesn't hole enough putts between 5 and 15 feet. But he finds greens more often than most, and that will be crucial here. His bottle is open to question, but he is due one soon. I just hope it can be this week! Nick Watney is also a past winner here, and has shown time and again how the layout suits. It had been a while since he had been in contention and as such his outing in the Humana Challenge two weeks ago will hopefully stand him in good stead if he appears near the top of the leaderboard this weekend. 80-1 underestimates his chances. 10-3 for top 20 is also worth a play. 2pts e.w Jordan Spieth 15.5-1(average) 2pts e.w Jason Day 16-1 1pt e.w Brandt Snedeker 30-1 .85pt e.w Grame de Laet 40-1 .6pt e.w Mark Leishman 50-1 .4pt e.w Nick Watney 80-1 5pts Watney Top 20 10-3 Total Staked Week 4: 40.3pts Total Returned Week 4: 68.3pts Total Staked: 170.8pts Total Returned: 173.7pts Running Total........+2.9pts ROI....+1.7% GL All. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5 picks for me in the Farmers Insurance open this week:
Jason Day 14/1 Course form all important here and T9 and T2 should see Day go well this week. Graham DeLaet 30/1 Same finishes as Day last two years so twice the price has to be value. Good show last week in Phoenix offers optimism. Charley Hoffman 50/1 Decent record here over the years including T7 last year. Been in top form this year already. Brendan Steele 66/1 2 good finishes last 2 outings inc T2 @ Humana challenge. California native who has played well enough here before. Seung Yul Noh 80/1 Has 3 decent showings here when not in the best of form including T10 last year. Wouldn't trust some of mine too much if they hit the front too soon but they offer good e/w value @ least. Good luck lads. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For anyone with an eye to value , Grillo is 9/5 with PP in his opening 3 ball vs Hoey and Baldwin . Dont think that constitutes proper odds . Must be shorter than that .

MAYBANK MALAYSIAN OPEN...
Some big names make the 7-hour flight from Dubai to KUALA LUMPUR G&CC, hosting the event for the seventh time (so think horses for courses in 2006 & 2010 to 2014, though the event has moved about in the schedule). Kuala Lumpur G&CC has also staged the last two CIMB Classic’s on the PGA Tour (Ryan Moore won both events). A co-sanctioned event on the European and Asian Tours with bigger prize money than the Arab purses of the last three weeks !!! 2014 Lee Westwood - April 17, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-18) 2013 Kiradech Aphibarnrat – March 21, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-13) 2012 Louis Oosthuizen – April 12, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-17) 2011 Matteo Manassero – April 14, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-16) 2010 Seung-yul Noh – March 4, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-14) 2009 Anthony Kang – February 12, Saujana G&CC (-17) 2008 Arjun Atwal – March 6, Kota Permai G&CC (-18) 2007 Peter Hedblom – February 8, Saujana G&CC (-8) 2006 Charlie Wi – February 16, Kuala Lumpur G&CC (-19) 2005 Thongchai Jaidee – February 17, Saujana G&CC (-21) FARMERS INSURANCE at Torrey Pines (It's 48th Tour event - great advert for a 'municipal' course - think Bethpage Black). South Course (Play it 3 times) - Think 'Grinders' as it was the fourth most difficult played on Tour last year and was only bested by “new” Doral, Augusta and Pinehurst No. 2. hosting the 2008 U.S. Open. Tweets say you could lose a small dog in the rough ! North Course (Play it only once - You guys should take note of how easy the North Course plays (only the courses at Humana and Kapalua were easier last year) so check your players tee times)- imperative that the players post a low number on this much easier course - Day One leader anyone ? 2014: Scott Stallings -9 (came from three strokes behind on Sunday to win for his third time on Tour) 2013: Tiger Woods -14 2012: Brandt Snedeker -16* 2011: Bubba Watson -16 2010: Ben Crane -13 2009: Nick Watney -11 2008: Tiger Woods -19 2007: Tiger Woods -15 2006: Tiger Woods -10* 2005: Tiger Woods -16 Trends... Tiger Woods (eight) and Phil Mickelson (three) have won this event three or more times - they both grew up playing golf in Southern California. Stallings, Snedeker, Crane and Watney make it four of the last six winners who are NOT major champions. So e/w Dbls... Kiradech Aphibarnrat @ 50/1 - 2013 winner as a 23yo - big guy with a big reputation on this course - third in 2010 and third in CIMB Classic in 2013. That win was against the likes of Edoardo Molinari, Victor Dubuisson (nb), Charl Schwartzel & Pablo Larrazabal. Aphibarnrat was T45 in Abu Dhabi and T38 in Qatar on his last two starts. Prom Meesawat @ 125/1 - The ‘Big Dolphin’ finished T8 in the recent CIMB Classic against a field of PGA Tour stars. He’s also shown a liking for Kuala Lumpur G&CC with three top 25s in this tournament (although he did miss the cut in Dubai last week). along with..... Brandt Snedeker @ 28/1 - T10 last week at the Waste Management was his third top 10 in his last five worldwide starts. His recent record at the Farmers shows T2's in '10 and '13, plus T9 in '11 and 2012 Champion as he has an affinity for Poa annua greens. Dustin Johnson @ 33/1 - He can get it around 7,600 yards no sweat this week so must have a sniff ! ...after a wee break destroying Sherwood Country Club... http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/dustin-johnson-has-new-outlook-his-game-and-his-life © CM iyc ![]() | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

yeah, like KJ Choi 2011 Players Champ - a grinder - fits the horses for courses - last four at Torrey was T15, T29, T9 and T2 in the last five years. His 66 on the South Course on Sunday last year was the low round of the week. His back-to-back finishes in his last two suggest he’s cracked the code after 13 tries. He was T44 at Sony and T22 last week so he’s trending curve is up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Have added KJ choi @ 80/1 instead of the withdrawn DeLaet. Agree with padlock and catchme, has strong course form. I backed him a good few times last year when he often played well without winning. It's been a good while since he has got his head in front, I'd say he is due a win this year.

Andy Sullivan seems to face a soft 3 ball, beginning shortly.
Matteo Mannessero has some cracking form around here, but he is playing worse than Tiger at the moment, not getting near to a round of 70. Anirban Lahiri has never shown any aptitude for the venue, and didn't show much 3 weeks ago back off his Xmas break. Sullivan is in top notch form, and though its his 5th week on the trot, that will be more of an issue if in contention come Sunday. With an axe to grind here after throwing away a winning opportunity here on Sunday last year, he can be expected to get off to a good start. 4pts Andy Sullivan 3 ball 5-4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
