Bhatia almost lost it there, just hanging on next to the red zone

 

[peternorth]

The Berger just needs to play smart here

 

[peternorth]

As bhatia chips nicely should be a par here. but the Berg has a putt for par to stay in the match and it aint easy

Good on him. Been close for a while. One for the left handers

The Players Week.

I must say, one of the most overrated tournaments of the year.

The Players Week.

I must say, one of the most overrated tournaments of the year.

I reckon it gets treated about right for its position as the biggest tournament outside of the majors. Let's just hope we don't get another Monday morning playoff. That was a stinker.

Rory's back doesn't sound great.

So i tried to get to watch liv proam in singapore but not open to public despite showing tee times
Got to see them on driving range

No talk about the imminent Australian Womens Open at Kooyonga? Not floating anyone's boat?

The Hawk is coming. The coral necklace is a nice touch but i fear that his swing might ruin the show. Shall watch

Are you now at the stage where you can’t leave Ludvig out because the one time you do, you know he will win?

Hey sidey, yes & no, he's my favourite player and trending to win something big this year, but there will be tournaments where I'll have to leave him out, even Scottie doesn't win every tournament and he's a machine, so sometime this year I will be putting that into place, maybe after he's had a great run, they all have their run of tournaments where they play great, usually around 7 or 8 tournaments, it differs with each player, some more, some less.

He may well have turned the corner last week - hope he has. But before that he has been pretty mediocre this year.

The bookies must be a bit scared of you though - they somehow have Aberg equal 4th favourite at $20.

TTS how are you seeing Denny's start to the year? Reckon he can break through at some stage?

Also Theegala? Bounce back year incoming?

Slight injury & illness certainly haven't helped his course early on, he's over that now so expecting something "special", whether that's a "W" I'm hoping so, like pres, "The Masters" or one of the other three majors have his name engraved, I have a very strong feeling, as for the bookies, yeah I'm a bit surprised, I had him around $34 in my odds, $21 is quite short when you look at it, there basing it on his potential and his 3rd place finish at 'Arnies" place, one of the hardest courses on the tour, if he say finished tied 27th last week, he gets to $34 this week, that finish is what they are thinking about, with Rory's back playing up, Scottie throwing the odd tantrum, they like me are thinking someone different is going to take the title, this guy has the shots to do it!

Hey pres, Denny reminds me of Briny Baird, I backed him so much it wasn't funny but he couldn't get that "W", not long hitters, but very good with the putter, his form has been below average this year but he has the game to win on the tour, belief and confidence play an important role + a few other things.

I rarely back players out of form unless I think they are going to win regardless, I actually dropped him until he finds some form but I gave him one more chance this week, the problem is there are players out there that being in terrible form means nothing to them and after they win you'll hear them say they have been working on this and that and it all came together today, unfortunately it doesn't help the punters who have been backing him.

As for Theegala, yeah starting to find his groove, three top tens this year and one of them being at "Arnies" place bodes well, one thing he has to get better at is "Off the tee", ranked 126th in that area is a concern but with that in mind you don't finish top ten at "Arnies" place if your not doing something right, one of many chances this week, if he can finish top twenty this week, a "W" would not be far away.

Who are your bets this week pres?

Just saw scoreboard , hard day at office

 

[IKnowtheDog]

How many golfers are there like Craig Perks. Just one win on the PGA toor either a Players or a major.

He did have four wins on the Hooters Tour

 

[The Talent Scout]

Big news, one of the hot favourites Colin Morikawa is out after a just starting, with back issues, in too much pain, very sad to see him pull out, but no other choice.

 

[Pres]

I see Scheffler starting to drift in Augusta betting. Out to $5.20 (less commission) on Betfair.

We think that's value?
