    Whenever I feel afraid
    I hold my head erect
    And whistle a happy tune,
    so no-one will suspect
    I’m afraid :whistle:

    Good luck BigG
    He needs to check the momentum
    And match Palmer for a hole or two otherwise it could be squeaky bum time

    I’d like to see Rahm winning Nathan but when I’m miles ahead, I do something that drives
    Darren up the wall, I take insurance. Actually it would suit me just as well if Palmer won
    as when Rahm was 1/40 I stuck 20 quid on Palmer who was 66/1. So the pressure is off bet wise.
    I still think Rahm will likely hang on but he’s bleeding like a sheep at the moment.

    Wow, that chip in at the 16th, surely that will be enough for Rahm now, won’t it :unsure:

    Just caught up with this thread from last week.

    I have to apologise Raymo for somehow missing your 150/1 winner last week. Incredible. And then you’ve gone and done it again this week too for good measure. Some achievement that. BigG you too have smashed it again this week I see with Rahm. Brilliant effort.

    I had no luck with Dechambeau but he owed me nothing and with him getting beat, I can move on now without feeling like he was a must bet each way punt every Wednesday night when looking at the golf bets for the week. Can happily leave him alone now at these short prices unless there’s a particular reason to punt him.

    Once again, well played lads. Some thread this.

    No problems for the man Graham!!
    Apart from hitting it in the water at eleven!!
    TOP STUFF MY FRIEND :good: :good: :good:
    Between us both winners so its back to the normal form for this thread :good: :good:
    It was tough out there and IMO so it should be. I much prefer this kind of course to target golf and bombs!!
    Roll on this week I will see if I can get the hat trick up in Europe but shan’t be holding my breath LOL

    Raymo I see that Darren has got his bets on in the British Masters, but I’ve just
    clocked that it starts on Wednesday so don’t get caught out mate if you’re having
    a bet, and in your present form why wouldn’t you :unsure:

    You too MOM if you’re throwing your hat into the ring this week :good:

    British Masters

    Eddie Peperrell 25/1 (40/1 1st round leader market)

    With so many coming into this tournament not having hit a ball in earnest
    this side of the break, a lot has to be taken on trust. At least with Eddie
    you know that when he sets the ball up on the first tee tomorrow, he really
    believes he can win this. This is like a home game to him having been runner
    up last year and gone one better winning it in 2018. He must have a great
    chance here.

    Connor Syme 50/1 (55/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s won on the Challenge Tour, but yet to get off the mark on the European
    Tour. He’s been close a number of times with 10 top 20s last year, including
    6 top 10s. At least he is one that has played a tournament this side of the
    break, and it was a very promising T4 in the Austrian Open. Now you’re probably
    sick of me bringing this up, but he had one of the best rounds I’ve witnessed
    in the 2018 Scottish Open with a phenomenal 62. A repeat of that, or near,
    would go down nicely in the 1st round. he’s playing well enough to take this.

    Richie Ramsay 50/1 (60/1 1stround leader market)

    zHe’s one that hasn’t played this side of the break, but 4 top 10s including
    5th here last year gives some hope that he can still be in the mix come Sunday.
    He probably feels that he could have done better as he only managed a par round,
    which was the poorest round of the top 7. Hopefully that will spur him on to put
    that behind him and see it out if he gets the chance.

    Guido Migliozzi 50/1 (50/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s a very decent player on his day, and has a couple of wins last year, in the kenya
    Open and the Belgian Knockout, to prove it. He was bang in form just before the break
    with a T4 in the Oman Open, so hopefully his game is still right up there. he should go
    well.

    That’s me done here, I’ll post up my 3M Open bets later on today. It’s all going
    well guys, let’s try and keep it that way :good:

    3M Open

    Mathew Wolff 25/1 (40/1 1st round leader market)

    I had Wolff last week and I thought he was dead and buried when he racked up
    a quadruple bogey, a triple bogey and 3 bogies in the 1st round. It doesn’t
    quite rival Lazarus, but he hauled himself back to finish a respectable T22.
    He needs to get his course management sorted out and that should stop these
    costly errors. He managed to do it last year when he won here and he should
    have a decent chance of repeating that on a course that suits his eye.

    Erik Van Rooyen 35/1 (55/1 1st round leader market)

    he’s another who got off to a pretty poor start last week, but pulled it back
    and also finish T22. He finished around the same place, T21, in the Heritage
    2 weeks further back. He’s going the right way since the break and I think
    he’ll go well here.

    Max Homa 66/1 (66/1 1st rounf leader market)

    I’m taking a bit of a chance with Max here, seeing as he’s missed the last 3 cuts.
    He’s taking a bit of time to get his game back after the break, but prior to the
    break he had 3 top 10s in his last 5 tournaments. He’s too good a player to remain
    out of the reckoning and his odds have drifted out sufficiently to take a chance
    that he can turn the tide here.

    Charles Schwartzel 150/1 (150/1 1st rounf leader market)

    I could almost use my piece on Homa for Schwartzel. He’s another that has not
    found his game and has missed the last 4 cuts, but not by much in some. He had
    problems with his wrist last year, but a T5 at Pebble Beach and a top 20 at the
    Honda earlier this year showed he can still compete. He’s a winner of the Green
    Jacket, and at 35 years of age he’s not ready for shuffling off to the Seniors
    Tour just yet. At 150/1 I’ll take the chance he gets his game back this week.

    Best of luck this week guys, we need to keep this winning locomotive on track :good:

    Nothing in the British Masters but I’ve played four small bets in the 3M open, three of which are at big prices.

    All four are each way – 8 places

    Tony Finau – 1.4 pts @ 14/1 E/W
    Si Woo Kim – 0.6 pts @ 70/1 E/W
    Rafa Cabrera Bello – 0.6 pts @ 80/1 E/W
    Cameron Davis – 0.4 pts E/W @ 175/1

    Total stake – 6 points

    As always, good luck to everyone with bets on the thread.
