Honda + Jo'burg Golf

Pod eagle to win it!!

Same 'SHOT' as RORY last year to make play-off ?

This is very similar to last years tournament. A vicious course, with everyone struggling under the pressure.

POD 1 bird two pars all week on 18th

^^due an eagle so!!

Wait for final nine holes to have a bet next year !

1/10 BERGER

THEN THERE WAS 2.....laying off more as I want to see our 2005 winner get that putt !

GREAT PUTT

Go Pod,

some bottle there, win it now!

and GREAT viewing

EXCUSE ME i have to go and change me jocks.

Harrington has a great record in play offs,lost his first few but was nearly unbeatable in them later on.

Won this tournament in a play off some years ago.

Yes sir!

Get the foooooooooooooooooooooooooookkkkk in there!

Back to 18th tee.

EXCUSE ME i have to go and change me jocks.

I wouldn't be asking Poulter for his.....there might be a slight stench off them!!

18th, 17th, 18th please.

Why is POD not fav??

5pts P Harrington 2.06

Padarig should be fav , but content to watch here .  Change for a Monday afternoon !

Yeah cant figure that myself Callit, half a loaf is better than none for me now.

I would have expected him be about 1.8/1.82.

Harrington has that old back nine last round look about him all day,should be favourite in the play off.

He has 'the eyes' today alright.

Why can’t every Monday be this good ?

Frank , really hopes he does the business for you ...

Feck the rugby, this is proper sport.

C'mon POD.

Once again I ask , who needs Tiger ...

Daniel Berger a former teammate of Koepka's at Florida State, the Tour rookie has made seven of 10 cuts this season.
Two of his last three starts have been T-10. Watch out for a big moment here from the 21-year-old.
It’s an eight-minute drive from his couch to PGA National.
Berger isn’t far behind Koepka, ranking 10th at 304.6 yards and was runner-up at Copperhead.

MY NOTES FOR NEXT WEEK

Bit left in that.

BACK to 17th please

Once again I ask , who needs Tiger ...

Everyone who plays, watches, or benefits from golf.

Callit , He is the past , the future is unfolding before your very eyes , enjoy...Pod will take his revenge on THIS hole...

WIN OR LOSE i dont remember having a bet that has giving me such a range of emotions,

Saying who needs Tiger anymore is like saying football dosen't need Messi anymore.

Some, most, would have said Pod was the past too. Golf still needs Tiger. Every set of weekly viewing figures will tell you that.

NEW ERA, NEW STAR

WINS

T80 OWGR for POD.

T50 OWGR for BERGER.

"Caddy, HAVE A GOT THE RIGHT CLUB ?" - POD

That should do it.

He has medals for it,put the pressure on,ask Sergio.

WD PADDY

Well done Pod,twas hard shouting against ya,nice to see ya back.

GSM. Well done POD. Berger may have hit the drink, but POD exerted the pressure. Top class.

WD Frank.

Well done frank,

What a SHOT....Puts the kid under pressure , then a watery grave...

Excellent behaviour from POD.

Wow well done pod backers

Great win .  Thats 2 wins in last 6 months or so .

A joy to watch.

Ireland beating England in the rugby.
Harrington winning in America.

Now for them South Africans for the hat trick.

THANKS lads thats the cheltenham money seen to,

Delighted for you Frank , you kept the faith...

NO COMPARISON to his Indo win

A lad would need a pint after that!!

Great interview ,like his bonkers side

Callit , a review of Reeds bottle required....?

Those Harrington back nines on the last day are something else.

Carnoustie
Birkdale
US PGA course has slipped my mind.

Now twice in the Honda Classic.

2005 & 2015 Champion.....How it's not another 10years wait.

W/R i was thinking of putting the lot on OZy to be the next Taoiseach, but on 2nd thoughts.  i back him because of the f/cast before the tour started, but to be fair Callit said a few weeks ago not to forget him, and i didn,t

I had £10 on Berger at 170 before the start. Had £200 on Padraig in playoff. He cost me money but fair play to him. Plenty of bottle!

BANG goes the Airbags for another year !

Frank as I have often said on here , Callit is the golf KING , Huddys another worth listening too ...Some great advice to be had here week after week...

Well done POD and well done frank.

Mighty stuff!!!

Callit , a review of Reeds bottle required....?

I wouldn't think so. A sample size of one is of no relevance to anything. He has proved he can convert winning opportunities at a high rate. That rate remains high after today. He just didn't play too well today, yet hung in there until the last few holes. Backers would be disappointed, but I would not even consider questioning  his bottle.

People like Poulter, they are a different scenario. Sample size fairly large there. Conversion rate very low.

Last couple of holes last night , he seemed to become ragged and got lucky with a couple of chips imo , today he again comes to the fore ,and guess what...Maybe hes not the player you think , not saying he wont do the business in future , just seemed to lose focus where it mattered last couple of days...

There is no player out there though that hasn't fuc ked a tournament away. Looking at the bigger picture, Reed has closed out very successfully.

How many tournaments has Rory lost from a similar position? DJ, Stenson, Rose, Phil, Bubba, Fowler, Day, even the odd blip from Tiger......Reeds conversion rate suggests he will close the deal more frequently than most. Being human suggests he will also lose a couple.

I don't say he is better than any of them listed above, but he seems to have the priceless ability of being pretty damn good at closing the deal.

If Westwood had his bottle, he would be a multiple major winner. As POD said before, consistency is the most over rated thing in golf. Dead right. Give me a winner anyday.

Honestly, couldn't wait for the final 4 holes on MONDAY afternoon before having a bet
so backed DANIEL BERGER in 5 places and Win markets on 'ere at 5's and 110's
Roll on ‘The Bear Trap’ tomorrow afternoon...stranger things CAN happen in golf !

Have no doubts about it, but THE BEAR TRAP is very significant in this tournament !

Reminder to self...
WAIT for last nine holes to have a bet in this 'CLASSIC' in 2016

119 starts after he won the 2008 PGA Championship, Padraig Harrington is a winner again !

Congrats to all who kept the faith and reaped the reward. Hope Deplasterer was on.
Delighted to be wrong. Am a huge admirer of Harrington but didn't think he had another PGA win in him.
Thought he would do well to get a top 10 here. Immense drama and the right result!

He was on the long list, alas he didn't make the shortlist.

490 was available pre-tourney.

Great TV viewing and over the moon from Pod. WD to him.

Daniel Berger started the final round 9 shots back, just goes to show how the final few holes at PGA National Champions Course can change matters.

AND THE WINNER IS...

Catchme you won't know by any chance an alternative to Smartbets,dead easy and handy but Mike has gone subscription,an awful lot of work otherwise in the States.

This website should be in your bookmarks.

Looks good Apple, will have a closer look later,ty

Good man yourself Applehunter,thats spot on,thanks very much.

Yeah, Mike was very handy. He says he will have an option of getting just the SGB sheets available shortly. The other stuff is all geared towards the Fantasy players, and not published til Tue/Wed. No good when trying to snaffle some early value.

Harrington interview was amusing after he won.I quote "when i get in contention i can hit the shots".What were you doing on 17 first time round Paudie?

Wondered at that myself , by purpose . Lots of those who bet the threes on Padraig must have been distraught at that shot , the last thing you do is hit water , there is no way back ( unless your name is Bill Haas).

There was a way back and he found it.

'twas the same in Carnoustie,twice he found water on the final hole but managed a brilliant up and down followed by four perfectly played extra holes.

He was and probably still is the best back nine on the last day player you will ever see.

Harringtons three majors were won with those brilliant back nines,he had that look but he was definitely clean.

It appears now the worlds greatest golfer needed some help in those major victories.

Not up to speed on that comment wildman . Am I missing something ?

Was wondering if I'd read that right myself Kelly...

It appears now the worlds greatest golfer needed some help in those major victories.

Rumour, relating to recent withdrawal, unrelated to major winning era, since denied and retracted, duly presented here, in trademark fashion, as likely truth.

^^^^
back lurking, can't resist making the odd comment..

Not true Ozy its his relationship with a certain doctor who dealt in steroids.

Ozy obviously has a problem with the word appears.

He is so set in his ways he just sees what he wants to see.

It didn't really 'appear' that that was the case though. Just because some jealous, limited waster comes out with it, doesn't mean it should be presented as even close to a possibility.

I'm not saying categorically that he has never taken anything, I cant know that. But just because some gob sh1te says it, shouldn't in my mind lead one to think that...'It appears now the worlds greatest golfer needed some help in those major victories'.

Dr Anthony Galea was Woods doctor,he is a steroid doctor.

He was caught smuggling human growth hormones into America.

It is guilt by association but that seems the way for all the moralists who want to tear down Irish sporting heroes.

As we speak there is crowd gathering in Jacksies Bar to hear Dan relate this whopper!

on a diff topic ,does anyone back golf with laddies?looking at the top 20 market for next weekends africa open  lads prices for top 6 in market,best price oddschecker in brackets  4/11 (8/11),4/6(10/11),4/6(10/11),8/11(1/1),10/11(6/5),10/11(11/8)   nice crowd..no wonder they are nearly gone..

They lost a lot of money in the R.o.ireland on last years figures Kavie, unlike PP who posted records profits e167 millon

the question to ask frank is why?  if they laid bets they would win money.ill guarantee its mostly lost on wages and leasing premises and non betting expenses.  why would you suggest they lost frank

I was in a laddies shop today and their was 2 people in the shop,[and that was just  before uk racing started] all the top shops are going n/r money back for cheltenham; except Laddies    ..there are jobs loses to be  announces shortly .No doubt some of the reasons you put forward Kav and more are the  cause, this might help ...http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/ladbrokes-may-call-in-examiner-t...

it seems to me management are trying to bankrupt it and stage a buy out..cant come up with any other reason to be honest.a 12 yr old would run it better

MBO (Management Buy Out, Tony) with Pecker 'I'm a believer' Dunne at the helm, imo.

well it sure looks like it..
