    Dubai Desert Classic

    DYLAN FRITTELLI 50/1 (55/1 1st round leader)

    He’s a golfer I’ve always thought could be regular winner on the tour,
    he did me well in the Lyoness Open last year, and he showed his game was
    still up there when he won the Mauritius Open last month. He was going well
    last week in the Abu Dhabi, but a finishing round of 74 let him down a bit.
    Nonetheless, he still had a top 20 finish. I think he wont be far away here.

    CHRIS PAISLEY 80/1 (66/1 1st round leader)

    If it aint broken, don’t try to fix it. So I’m sticking with Paisley again this
    week after his T5 last week at 150/1 in the Abu Dhabi. As I mentioned last week,
    I thought that he had found something that was previously missing when he won the
    South African Open. He was solid last week and I think that the confidence his win
    in SA has given him is raising his game to a new level for him. He’s terrific value
    at 80/1 with Betfred, and he’s very capable of shooting a low 1st round. He’s my
    main hope in this.

    I’ll stick my Farmers bets up later :good:

    Farmers Insurance Open

    Justin Rose 16/1 (22/1 1st round leader)

    I’ve was out for most of the day earlier, and before I disappeared out I
    hurriedly stuck on Rose. I took 16s outright and Paddy Power were only firm
    I could find that were offering 1st round betting, no doubt because the 1st
    round is played over 2 courses. He’s finished his round at 3 under, which puts
    him 3 off the lead in joint 12th. My first round bet is down but at least I
    managed to save a few points as he is 12/1 now. He finished strongly at the tail
    end of last year, so I hope he can carry on in the same vein.

    He’s the only bet I had time to stick on, I’ll have another at the halfway stage
    if he isn’t in contention after round 2.

    I’m glad to see that Chris Paisley has carried on playing good golf. He finished T5
    after his 1st round, so I got some e/w. I’m a bit peeved that he bogied his last hole
    as I’d have got more if he was T4th. Because he was tied 5th with 5 others, and the e/w
    covered 6 places, I lost more than half my bet. However it was a win, and he’s still
    bang in there, so I’m hopeful :good:

    Raymo, you had a good day with Finau who’s joint leader in the Farmers, and Darren you’ve
    got off to a great start with Hatton and Bjork at 8 and 7 under. Hopefully one of us can bag
    the winner this week :good:

    Sorry I missed you post Darren, the Dubnai Desert Classic is all but finished,
    it looks like it will be fought out by McIlroy and Haotong who are both at 21
    under with 3 to go. Your man Hatton looks like he might just miss out Darren,
    he had a blinder of a round and he’s finished at 20 under. If the front 2 slip
    up he’s right back in the mix. I think it’s maybe asking a lot for McIlroy in
    particular to foul up, especially with the easy par 5 18th. He’s still nice
    enough e/w at 20/1 Darren, I’ll watch and see if how it plays out.

    Raymo, you and I should be quite happy with your Levy finishing in 3rd at 50/1
    and my man Chris Paisley has done me proud again, it looks like he will finish
    5th at 80/1, I wonder when the bookies will realise this guy is a really good
    golfer.

    Best of luck Darren and I hope there might be a slip up and you could squeeze in
    there with Hatton :good:

    Would you Adam and Eve it :wacko: McIlroy has dropped a shot and is level
    with your man Hatton Darron. Just Haotong in front of you now Darren, I’m
    hoping he slips up and just maybe you can get into a play off. I’m rooting
    for you mate :good:

    Oh well, it was only a short blip, and then McIlroy and Haotong pulled away again.
    I think McIlroy was trading about 1/6 at one point, but his bogey at the 16th
    sealed his fate as they both birdied the last 2.

    Not to worry, no winner in Dubai, but we all got a decent return :good:

    In tonight’s final round in the Farmers, we are all in there with some sort of
    chance. Darren you have Hossler and Day, Raymo you have Finau, and I have Rose
    (not bad for 1 pick) and we are all at 8 under, 3 off the lead. If Noren and
    Palmer falter, any one of us could get that elusive win this year :good:

    Afternoon all….some very good shouts on here for these early season golf events,great to see.

    Noren 7/2 jolly going into the final round,5 shots covering top 24 players.on a decent course,mentioned a little wind on yesterdays broadcast for today,would not need a lot to really toughen scoring up,that would make it interesting.

    C T Pan and JJ Spaun carrying my flag,win only on the machine,so a chance to lay possibly, before nosebleeds etc,should be entertaining whatever outcome.

    Keep an eye out on your selections,one of you deserves a little change in fortune in the win department.

    Hi Flyers Nap, good to see another voice in Darren’s thread and good luck
    with your guys :good:

    We’re off an running, and only a few holes played by our guys, at this time it
    looks like Day is the only one to get under par for his round. He’s only 1 off
    the lead, but with bogies all over the place I think we all still have a shout.
    Good luck guys :good:

    As I only had the one guy in this, and Rose isn’t really threatening (at this time)
    so I’ve stuck 30 quid on Finau at 17/2 with Betfred. He’s doing a bit better than
    Rose just 2 off the lead.

    I see by the time I’d posted above, that Finau picked up a birdie an is
    now between 7/2 and 9/2. I know Darren and Raymo know I don’t tell porky
    pies, but just in case anyone else tuning in here thinks my timing was a
    bit suspect ………..
