    My Picks for the open, all each way are.

    Justin Rose 20/1
    Adam Scot 22/1
    Camilo Villegas 250/1
    Jordan Spieth 125/1

    And one big fat bet on Tiger Woods to win


  • Registered Users Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Legwinski


    Clark at 200/1 for me. 5 each way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,589 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    Louis Oosthuizen e/w @ 66/1 is my only selection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand

    1 e/w on garcia, oosthuizen, cabrera, stenson
    0.50 e/w on Duval

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭RikkFlair

    Jason Day @ 35/1. 7 places. Thats it for me. Looking forward to the weekends action big time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 589 ✭✭✭breffni bogballer


    dustin johnson 10ew:grace,donald and haas 5ew. that will do for me


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭Luap


    Harrington 66/1
    Watney 125/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    forgot to go to the bookies this morning - think I'll leave it now


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,934 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    My usual 2 for the majors, Jason Day and Lee Westwood, one of them will eventually repay my faith although Day's double bogey start doesn't help!

    Also done Gareth Maybin at 300/1, way too big a price for someone who has shown decent form the last couple of weeks. Sergio as first round leader at 33/1.

    For the outright win I have:

    Zach Johnson 80/1
    Dustin Johnson 40/1
    Henrik Stenson 40/1
    Luke Donald 30/1
    Sergio Garcia 25/1

    I've got €1 on each as I decided I'd go a bit wild for this one! :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,975 ✭✭✭nkay1985


    Have Scott @ 22/1, McDowell @ 25/1 and McIlroy @ 28/1 as my main bets. Then Harrington @ 66/1 and Oosthuizen @ 70/1 a bit smaller. All bets each way. From McIlroy, McDowell and Harrington if one of them is right they'll be challenging. Scott my main fancy but who knows.

    Also backed Jimenez and Cabrera for first round leader at 100/1 each. Least Jimenez has given me a run for my money this morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭anamara86


    Have Poulter @ 66/1, Mickelson @ 18/1 and then Harrington (of course) @ 66/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 935 ✭✭✭pinkdoubleeagle


    Have Snedker e/w at 45-1


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,014 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Saw PP are paying out Top 6, so did each way on Z Johnson and Donald. Hope it goes well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,520 ✭✭✭dcmm

    Hideki matsuyama is 21.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,066 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie


    Did Snedeker at 45/1 and Molanari at 125/1 last night both €10 e/w.

    Here's hoping..

    If I miss the start (often do on the PGA) I wait till sat morning to see how it's set up. You lose a fair bit of value in placing once the first ball is hit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,196 ✭✭✭MonkstownHoop


    hoping more than anything but would PP have any refunds on players withdrawn today?

    I backed Mahan, Spieth, Stenson and De Laet pre-round. Backed Wiesberger and Bjorn in running. Best of luck to all.

    P.S: More than likely they won't return said bet.

    PP are refunding on Peter Hanson but not refunding on Oosthuizen.

    Why on one and not the other?


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    they didnt refund on oosthuizen for the US open either - i was sickened when he withdrew after round 1 in Merion

    Think it's down to PP discretion*, they don't need to refund on either.
    Once they tee off on the 1st hole it's fair game.

    *I'm guessing the refund on Hansen will be classed as some form of PR, I'd say the bets wagered on him were minimal in the grand scheme of things.
    Refunding on Oosthuizen might have been too costly for a bit of PR.


  • Registered Users Posts: 576 ✭✭✭Fishyfreak


    PP posted on twitter that refunding on Hanson was a "goodwill gesture".

    As mentioned above, there would have been a fair chunk of money on Oosthuizen so would have been too costly i reckon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,843 ✭✭✭Jimdagym


    Powers return millions in bets regularly so I doubt they are too exposed to oostie. I would get on to their website and live chat with them. If you ask nicely they can give you a matching free bet if you are lucky and they are in a good mood :)

    They return millions, but they don't return millions without a lot of thought going into it.
    I doubt there were too exposed to oostie, I'd be worried if they were.
    They plan refunds as PR stunts, they are calculated and measured, they don't operate an open pot for people with hard luck stories to dip into.

    You won't lose anymore by asking I suppose.
