Simpson
Horschell looks back to his best.
Hoffman

3 fairway and green merchants. Think that is what will get it done in the end.

WD on the FRL bets Catch Me. Nice click.

Amazing how long Matsuyama remained solo lead. Then nearly everyone that joined him went in the drink!!

Should be a cracking weekend.

Jason Day's game comes and goes too much for his talent level but backing a premium player who has some course form at Sawgrass. He was T6 in 2011 followed by MC then T19 in 2013. He followed up a disappointing Masters with T4 at Zurich but went 0-3 at Match Play last week. DAY hits it a mile and gets up-and-down from anywhere. He leads the TOUR in birdie average and the all-around and is eighth in GIR.


Russell Henley was eight-under (65-71) after two rounds last year and was in the hunt before 80 on Saturday killed any chances of contention. Instead of mailing it in he rebounded with 66 on Sunday to finish T17.


Jimmy Walker's last three years go T35 then T15 and T6 last year. While he loves this track and doesn’t hit too many fairways, he finds plenty of greens though and his short game is ace. His closing 65 last year included two bogeys. He’s posted 14 of 18 career rounds at par or better and six of those have been in the 60s.


Zach Johnson racked up 9of10 weekends including his last six and found form last week in San Fran. MC at Harbour Town but fixed something because he rebounded to win two of three matches last week at Harding Park. With so many premium players struggling to figure this track out, Johnson has a nice risk-reward element this week.


Branden Grace confirmed his reputation as one of the European Tour's best closers by carding a 6-under-par 35-31=66 to win the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Yes, a 31 back nine to claim his second title of the 2015 season and exemption into the limited field at the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump National for the fourth consecutive time by virtue of a top 10 in the Race to Dubai standings.
GRACE is now ranked 40th in the OWGR, the third highest South African behind Louis #24 and Charl #39, and currently lies 5th in the RTD standings.
A winner in three of his last eight worldwide starts - twice on the European Tour and recently on the Sunshine Tour - he is looking to transfer that success to the PGA TOUR. His title at the Dimension Data Pro-Am in his native South Africa contributes only to his earnings on the Sunshine Tour, but it's more proof that he's a flat-out winner. Grace followed a solo 54th at Doral with a T62 at Bay Hill and made his second career start at Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio playing on a foreign exemption to finish in 30th position. Shooting 75, 73 was a second MC at The Masters after a T18 in his first try in 2013.

Added Louis Oosthuizen (OWGR #24 from No.30 last week) to those Mauritius Open doubles. He said last weekend he was healthy and feeling great and the results have backed that sentiment. He’s racked up four top 10s in seven events since early March and has only found four rounds over par during that stretch. He backed up his T19 at Augusta with T7 at RBC Heritage and was a beaten quarter-finalist last week at Harding Park beating scrappers Keegan & The Mechanic then Bubba & Fowler before going down to Smiley Jim. He’s eighth in SGTTG and ninth in SGT. He hits PLENTY of GIR and that’s a key this week. Was on my radar before 17/18 yesterday, losing 3 shots to the field - a big ask now.

Well done catch,

HAVE WE HAD THE DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS YET ?


Diving Turtle wins the day...

Coetzee/Grace ew double @208/1

Say good boy too to...

Kokrak
Ryan Moore
Rose
Berger
Steele
Morgan Hoffman - after his maiden voyage here last year saw him post all four rounds under par to finish T17. Morgan (Yes the other Hoffman) in the top 10 this week for current form players. The 36-hole leader at Arnie's finishing solo fourth and then was T28 on his Augusta debut so current form would have been an angle here he adds T9 to a very steady three tournament run. His run of form stretches back to Riviera where he was T22 and T17 at Doral. He had two top 10s in 2014 in 32 events. He has two this year in 12.
Kuchar
Ben Crane has played here the last seven years and has made five cuts. The interesting part of this stat is that four of these are T8 or BETTER.

Just hope he stays the pace when things get tight over the weekend. Let's pay to find out !

South African weekend tks

Huddys,

http://adelecabanillas.com/2013/06/thomas-kate-aiken-married-marsh-harbour-bahamas/

Should be worth tuning into the final round in paradise tomorrow.

Coetzee to win.

Rory would want to get a move on.

That David Hearn still 25/1 4 places only 2 behind ...worth a little interest for the evening

RORY at 16's is too big not to take ew 1-4

PAT PEREZ leads the field in Driving Accuracy and GIR. 50's and only 3 back is a good bet.

Bill Haas - well when 49 of the top 50 players in the OWGR play the same event you surely don’t pick a guy that has missed half of his eight tries and has nothing better than T26. SURPRISE joint leader with four at -10

Harmon reckons -13 wins again

Had another go off JUSTIN THOMAS @18's - 3 pars fives will get him to -11 so only need a little bit of luck in running

Justin Thomas entered the week on the back of T11 at Harbour Town and T12 at Zurich which are both Dye courses and spun a 7-under-par 32-33=65 in the third round yesterday.
There are 19 players who have previously recorded nine birdies in a single round at THE PLAYERS, including Jhonattan Vegas yesterday.
Making his PLAYERS' debut, Justin blitzed TPC Sawgrass and set the new record by converting on 10 birdies of 13 opportunities, including four straight to begin his round. His 13'8" birdie putt on the par-4 first was his LONGEST par breaker on the round, dropping each of the other nine from inside of 10 feet. The 22-year-old rookie gained entry into this week's PLAYERS as an alternate and has already added his name to the record books.
