did feel for thiem in 1st set should at least broken novak at least twice

[Cockney Rebel]

Houston Open Golf,Think the bookies have missed a trick here in the top GB&IRE market 6 runners
Lowry 5/2 hasnt played here since 2013 missed cut
Donaldson 3/1 another missed cut appearance
Westwood 3/1 another whos missed the cut in hes last appearance
Laird 9/2 another missed cut in hes last appearance back in 2013
Harrington 7/1 Hasnt got a great record here t67 last year and a t8 in 2011 is the best anyone else can offer in this field,so 7/1 looks great value against the rest of the field.
Laird 12/1 rag.

DJ round in seven under with TWO bogeys!! WOW!!

[BigG]

Raymo, DJ one off the lead with one round to go…..but Lovemark, joint
leader at 90/1 WOW !!!!!!

I’m all but stuffed, Garcia is well gone, and Schwartzel at 5 under is
too far off the lead. The best I can hope for is to squeeze into a place.
I’ll be routing for DJ for both you and Darren, but if Lovemark is still
up there towards the end, I’ll be shouting him on.

Best of luck mate

[raymo61]

Thanks G but I can already imagine him falling away as have most of my big prices in the last round!!

But I do have everything crossed!!

Unfortunately your crystal ball was right Raymo, Lovemark was really disappointing.
I think the double bogey at the 11th was the killer for DJ, even though he tried
to get back he was always just running behind.

Better luck next week guys, it’s the first BIG ONE of the season. I’m hoping
my 33/1 first leg of my Majors accum on Adam Scott, which I only bet because Darren
asked me at the start of the season if I was betting ante post for the Majors, gives
me a good start.

I might bet a couple of others, I’ll update during the week.

[raymo61]

Ah well both Berger and DJ placed I suppose I shouldn’t moan!!
At least it gives me one and a half to bet in the Masters!!

I forgot about Berger Raymo. Well between the two it makes up for what could have been.
Good luck this week

Big tennis event this week is Monte carlo masters the first big masters 1000 event on the clay.Rome and Madrid are the other two

ANDY MURRAY 10/1 To win Monte carlo masters

While Djokovic is a local what i mean is he lives in Monte Carlo and plays on courts in spare time be hard to beat.Murray has decent draw in his quarter while Raonic has been in super form i expect Murray to beat him and Berdych the latter has decent form here runner up last year.But Murray can get his year back on track this week

Nath i had Wawrinka in this event at 25/1 few years happy days they were any bets on Monte carlo

[Nathan Hughes]

I quite like Dominic Thiem at 40’s Daz, has shown an improvement of late

Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

[BigG]

I don’t normally have a bet on the tennis Darren, but I’m going to
have a go with Andy Murray in the Monte Carlo Masters. He’s been in
poor form, but surely that has to change at some point.

I didn’t get the 10s you got, the best I could get was 9/1 with
Betvictor. Lets hope we have more luck than we had at the Masters

[darren83]

Good luck nath in tennis.And hope Murray win for us BigG

[darren83]

With masters out of way next event is RBC Heriate open bets below

BRANDEN GRACE 40/1

Jason Day plays here i think it a mistake for him but means a better price for main fancy.Apart from US open and USPGA in 2015 Grace not shine in America but he did here was t7.Which was good performance by him.This a course more suited to players like Kuchar and Donald.But Grace in better form won in Qatar this year can take this title

MATTHEW FITZPATRICK 33/1

Biggest danger to main bet is this young man from UK his game is like Luke Donald and look at Donald over the years here.Fitzy was 24th here two years ago.So add to fact he better player now and was awesome on final day at masters he be a big runner here

KEVIN KISNER 28/1

No doubt Kisner not shown form in 2016 but was runner up here last year lost to Furyk in playoff not do a lot wrong.With that strong form here he can get back into form and kick start his year.

RUSSEL HENLEY 66/1

Was 5th here in 2013 put up best showing this year last time at Shelf houston players who do well there carry form here.Carl Petterson was 2nd in Houston two weeks later won this event in 2012.A trend that may happen again.Henley a short game wizard can do well.

DAVID LINGMERTH 125/1

Way overpriced he enjoys tough courses and should be set up like that this year and this improving swede has done ok lost to Dufner in playoff but can go ok here.

[darren83]

no bets in spain for me just event in America

[raymo61]

Here are my four picks for the Heritage

MATT KUCHAR 22/1
ROBERT STREB 200/1
KEVIN KISNER 28/1
STUART APPLEBY 250/1

And my four for Spain

ANDY SULLIVAN 20/1
CHRIS WOOD 40/1
GREGORY BOURDY 66/1
PABLO LARRAZABAL 80/1

Good Luck guys

[darren83]
