    Matsuyama @ 55/1 and Ilonen @ 80/1. Decent 1st rounds for them both.

    Ya, I expect Ilonen to have a decent showing, he's had a very good year, showing recent form and won The Amateur Chamionship on this course in 2000.

    Freddie J is my other outsider at 150/1 and at -2 also, I'll take that. Fowler my short price pick.

    In other news, my 4 picks from last year are a combined -19 :(

    Early days yet.

    For this week at the USPGA, I've backed Leishman @ 50/1 and Koepka @ 200/1. It'll probably be another Rory show though.

    Have mcdowell 40/1 and lowry 125/1 for first round leader..both ew 5 places..

    thought lowry was a big price as he is capable of going very low if he gets going.

    I backed gmac at the same price to win the comp. PP only 6 places which I think is a bit mean.
    Stuck a tenner on Rory at 5's, just because its so obvious.

    Lads what odds are ye getting on Rory.

    5/1 is about the best available. Don't think he should be that low, he's not played here either so I can't see him winning, big ask to win on his first visit. Saying that I have money on him as a saver invade he does win.

    Garcia, Smedeker and Kuchar for me. Snedeker @ 66/1 is great value. Small bets on Lowry @ 100/1 and Zanotti @ 400/1, which is a mental price in my opinion.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,395 ✭✭✭stooge


    jordan speith, gmac and schwartzel all ew


  • Registered Users Posts: 803 ✭✭✭SEORG


    1st round leader
    Harrington

    Outright
    Snedeker
    Walker
    Holmes

    all ew

    Koepka had a very good day today but too little too late. Added Ilonen @ 50/1 and Stenson @ 20/1 at start of day. It's getting interesting now too.

    Will discuss that with the other mod and cmods as it might prevent the main thread with being flooded with betting posts!

    Thanks Keano .

    Also means when they come on they will see thread active at top and will reduce interruption.

    Reduce or redirect.

    Took Oosthuizen at 66/1 EW last week after showing a bit of form. Down to 50/1 now.

    Fine by me keano, if it stops gambling posts in the masters thread I'll be happy. we might even sticky it from now until the end of the tournament.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,644 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Oh don't worry Charlie, it will sticky itself....

    Poults 70/1 each way, get in!

    Interesting stats here for long drivers if you consider Bubba has won twice here recently.

    Might help a bet decision

    I did the same getoffthepot. His record in Augusta is a very mixed bag but like you I was tempted by that price after his recent showings.

    I'm definitely gonna have €2 ew on Olazabal at 1000-1

    He's got Augusta game and he's got form. Crazy odds.

    Good call - he will be near top 20 at some stage.

    They normally don't last the 4 days but - maybe Langer is only one who does at this stage.

    Yeah that's the worry, but he shot 66 on Sunday, so who knows.

    Couldn't be bothered waiting any longer for The Masters, went for Poults at 70 and Scott at 18, that Gorey lad in The West at 33...all now doomed, doomed I tell you......


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,090 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    Im on JB at 200/1, Kaymer at 50/1 and Rickie at 35/1.

    Also on JB this week, he's going to win soon....
