    I know Graham. I have just walked in from walking the dogs (too hot in the daytime for them) and had a look to see how my men were doing!!

    Reavie Casey and Xander are well positioned at the moment but still twenty seven holes to go and trying not to get too excited!! LOL

    I had enough excitement this afternoon at York :good: :good:

    I worked it out and in 25 races over four days I backed seven winners including a 66/1 winner and 10 seconds and plenty of forecasts too!!
    Reavie winning would be the icing on the cake if it were to happen.

    For crying out loud, Ray ! Not you as well. I expect the three of you, you Gray and Dazzler, maybe Mom as well, will stop this thread to earn your keep from betting, full-time. And there was me, on the one hand, fuming that I had allowed myself to be sidetracked by another screen-subject on my pooter and missing the 16/1 winner of the Ebor (placed in a Group 3), tipped by a correspondent in the Guardian, which I had intended o bet on; and on the other hand, quietly pleased with myself for my near-miss – my moral victory which rewarded me with sweet Fanny Adams. (A nice girl mind you, and very proper).

    I’ve been following the York competition Raymo and I knew you had cleaned up there.
    Bloody brilliant sir :good: I’ve done okay myself but was having a pretty shitty
    last day until Que Amaro saved my bacon at 10/1 in the last.

    Not sure they will get the golf up and running again in the US, it looks like a long
    day of golf tomorrow. You’ve got some trio up there, good luck with them, but it would
    be nice if we could both have another good pay day with Reavie :good:

    That was hard luck Grimes that you let Mustajeer slip through your fingers, he would have
    have been a nice winner in one of the hardest races to fathom out.

    Good luck with your punt on Dean Burmester, he’s only 3 off the lead in Sweden and if he
    has a final round anything like his 3rd round he would have a very decent chance. I see he
    can still be had at 35/1, I hope you managed to get that or better and hopefully you’ve
    stuck him e/w. Obviously I’m hoping that my man Van Rooyen keeps his head in front, but if
    he falters I’ll be shouting on Darren’s Fitzpatrick and Wu, and your man Burmester. It’s
    a bit like the 3 musketeers in here, one for all and all for one, as long as someone is
    bringing home the bacon we’re happy. It would be nice if we all walked off into the sunset
    with cash in our back pockets after play on Sunday :good:

    It looks like the bogey at the 14th for Fitzpatrick should leave it clear for Van Rooyen
    who is now 3 ahead with 4 to go. Just in case of any hickups, I’ve had a bit of insurance
    on Fitzy at 10/1, enough that it doesn’t really matter which one wins so I think I’m safe
    enough. I won’t see the last 4 holes as I’m off to the hospital, but it’s definitely between
    the 2 so I won’t have to sweat when I check the result later :good:

    Very well done, BigG. What a wonderful position that is to be in.

    WELL DONE GRAHAM :good: :good:
    And Darren close too !!

    Now lets see if we can’t get the Tour Champ winner too!!

    By my reckoning
    Xander -10
    Rory -9
    Casey -9
    Cupcake -8
    Reavie -5
    Hideki -3
    Decham -3

    They seem to be the only ones with a chance albeit slim for some of winning the 72holes comp!

    Thanks guys, I’m well pleased with that result. I’m not long back in and I have to say thank
    f%$k I took out the insurance bet on Fitzpatrick, if I hadn’t taken the bet to cover Van Rooyen,
    I’d have been crapping myself coming to the last if I’d been watching it. It just shows how things
    can turn quickly, and that’s why I always try and cover myself even when it looks like my guy is
    running away with it. I read that Van Rooyen drilled in a 15 footer at the last to save a play off,
    that takes a bit of balls so well done that man.

    Bad luck Darren, your man Fitzy did little wrong with a final round 64, it was a very close call.
    I reckon you have a great shout with Rory, and he’s just gone to the top of the tree after 7 holes.
    Best of luck mate :good:

    Raymo your man Schauffele is just 1 back I make it, and Casey is not too far back either.
    Our man Reavie slipped back a bit when they restarted, but he could still make the e/w w/o
    the Fedex points. With a bit of luck we could all pick up a few quid here :good:

    Midway through the back 9 now, I make it the scores, without the additional points,
    are…….

    Rory -11
    Schauffele -9
    Reavie -9
    Koepka -8
    Casey -7
    Scott -4
    DeChambeau -3
    Kokrak -3
    Kisner -2

    It’s touch and go guys :whistle:

    I think maybe, for whatever reason, Rory had lost a little, but crucial, self-belief. I’m tickled pink with that and a little place bet on Burman at 35s – after an increasingly-painful series of losses. I really need some of my other bets on the tennis to win to be a bit more than a few pounds in pocket. But glad to have at least coverd my outlay.

    Pleased to see my mentors have been winning place bets with long-shots, too, but I’m not sure, after your win odds of 66/1 and upwards, you won’t be pretty blase about those bets!!!

    Great stuff Darren, he didn’t just win that he blew the field apart :good:

    You were knocking on the door the whole way Raymo, but no keeping with
    Rory at the end. Three great e/w’s though, and I’m glad, for both our sakes,
    that Reavie birdied the last. I thought after his bogey, double bogey that
    he was gone. I’m more than happy with the 80/1 place tonight after Van Rooyen’s
    heroics in Sweden this afternoon.

    Well in there Grimes with Rory and a nice e/w with Dean Burmester this
    afternoon……….welcome to the party :good:

    Omega European masters

    MATTHEW FITZPATRICK 10/1

    Suprise Hills offer this price but happy i took it as other firms 8/1.No doubt he form player around here yes Rory fave but question is will he be up for this event after banking 15million dollars.Look at Fitzy here he a back to back winner here going for 3 in a row also 2nd here in 2015.He playing world class golf this year a title on the way could be here this week at a venue he adores.Get over being 2nd with a 3rd win here

    DANNY WILLETT 33/1

    This guy in same boat at Fitz this year been playing well but no trophy most of those events been in PGA tour so back at a venue he won at before every chance of bold showing this week why been gutted not made East Lake he can be big danger to Fitz

    MARCUS KINHULT 90/1

    Was 10th here in 2015 but since then has come on in leaps and bounds as a player who is always one to look out for in tests like these links style events and after a slow start got scores of 66 64 at weekend to suggest should not be forgotten here.

    ROMAIN LANGASQUE 110/1

    French player who a super talent was 3rd in Scottish open very good by him recent few events not been good but showed can handle it here when 7th in 2016 if can find Scottish open form he a dangerous outsider

    ASHUN WU 125/1

    Won around this time of year in 2018 and last 2years here at this venue been 8th and 9th though was 20th in the end in Sweeden he done enough think a big run here in him

    guys when all firms got prices for Korn ferry tour championship i have bets for that event to.
