Thanks for the heads up Darren with the early start in Dubai, I would
have missed it

Golf In Dubai

Martin Kymer 21/1 (Betfair Exchange) (28/1 1st round leader market)

He’s playing as well as he has for a long time now, and 4 top 10s in his
last 6 starts can’t be ignored. T5 last time out in the Italian open,
I think he has a great chance here. I’ve finally taken the plunge and
registered with Betfair. A fair difference at 21/1 as opposed to a best
priced 16s elsewhere.

Sean Crocker 39/1 10 places Betfair Ex (55/1 1st round leader Market)

It all depends on whether Sean has got over his shock ending in the Alfred
Dunhill Championship last week. He had every chance going to the final hole,
and a birdie on the par 5 18th would have seen him in a play off. Unfortunately
for Sean he had a disaster 3 over par 8. If he takes the positives out of his
game there he should realise that he’s up to winning this. I think his 1st round
will let us know what way this is going.

Guido Migliozzi 70/1 (60/1 1st round leadrer market)

He looked like he was going to have a hand in the finish of the Italian Open
when he was well up there after the cut. A 73 in the 3rd round scuppered that
idea, but he did show what he was all about with a final round 65. He did well
out in Oman before the break where he finished T4, so hopefully he likes it out
in that part of the world.

I’ll stick with the 3 just now, and get my bets in for the South African
open and the Mayakoba a bit later. I hope that Raymo has clocked that
this starts tomorrow. Wednesday Start Raymo

[raymo61]

I know Graham have missed it Grrrrrrr!! Have backed three after the first round in hope rather than expectation

R PARATORE 80/1
L SCALISE 100/1
J MORRISON 100/1

[raymo61]

And my other bets are

SOUTH AFRICAN OPEN

B STONE 16/1
S VINCENT 70/1
N SCHIETEKAT 100/1

Hope I have spelt the last one right LOL LOL

[raymo61]

MAYOKABA CLASSIC

A ANCER 18/1
C ORTIZ 45/1
E GRILLO 55/1
B GARNETT 125/1

Oh and someone gave me a free bet so I put it each way on Ricky Fowler at 25/1 cos he needs to do well here to get/stay top fifty to get in the Masters next year

[raymo61]

As this is the last golf tournaments I am betting on this year I have done my accounts for my golf bets for the year and including this weeks bets I have managed to win £1600 this year if I get nothing back this week!

Considering I have only backed four winners that is some doing even though I say so myself. Admittedly the four winners included a 150/1 and a 125/1 winner which probably distorts the figures somewhat I am happy with my year of golf punting

Be lucky this week fellow musketeers

[BigG]

It’s the late late show again here, and rather that post up in the morning
when it’s well under way I’ll just post names up just now as I’m cream
crackered

South African Open

Wilco Nienaber 14/1 (33/1 1st round leader market)

Louis De Jager 50/1 (55/1 1st round leader market)

Jacques Blaauw 70/1 E/W 130/1 on Exchange win to £20
(75/1 1st round leader market)

Well done Raymo, that’s a very healthy profit mate
I meant to keep a running tally, but didn’t, so I’ll have
a run back through them over the next couple of days and see
how I’ve done. Good luck if this is our last week guys

[darren83]

BigG you forget bets for Makyoba classic just started PGA tour

Golf next week is

DP Tour championship in dubai
Shark shootout which I remember you had winner of event BigG few years ago think was Dufner and Snedecker

Well done Raymo on golf this year my season murder mate 2winners so far be 3 if count Schaufflele be best scorer over 4days in Tour championship some ew places to

[BigG]

Nearly missed this one, so had a stab at a couple that i think might end
my golfing season of with a win.

Mayakoba Golf Classic

Joaquin Niemann 35/1 (45/1 1st round leader market)

He’s already got 1 win under his belt and he’s been consistantly in the mix
recently. Three top 20s, including 6th at the CJ Cup in August, and although
he didn’t start to well with a 73 in his only outing after those 3, in the RSM
last month, he fired in a couple of terrific rounds, 66 and a 65 for T44. He’s
had a few weeks off and I’d expect him to to do well in both the 1st round betting
(I’ll predict 65) and outright.

Sebastian Munoz 55/1 (60/1 1st round leader market)

Yes it’s me banging on again about Sebastian, and I make no appology. He’s
a very decent player although his odds haven’t always indicated that. They’re
getting shorter though, no treble figures now since his 9th in the CJ Cup, T14
in the Zozo and T19 in the Masters. The experience he got from the Masters,
despite blowing up with a final round 75 is invaluable. He’s only played
in the RSM since the Masters, and he missed the cut. That’s very likely
a response from the poor finish in the Masters, but with time to get over
that I think he will be competing on Sunday and making a better job of it.
he’s my winner for this.

Well that’s it for this year guys, I’ll have a look through and see how I’ve
done. Let’s hope for a seasonal flourish

[BigG]

Well my prediction for Niemann nearly came true in the 1st round, I said
he’d have a 65, I was 1 out with a 66. So he’s leader on his own at the
moment at 5 under but half the field are still out there so I’ll need to
bite my nails and hope he holds on

[raymo61]

Looks like Russell Knox is going to do you on the first round leader betting Graham sorry mate!
If I Had bet mine in the first round market I would be swearing too cos Ortiz and Grillo are both tied for second with your man Niemann but I didn’t so all I have is a good start from them
Schietekat going okay in South Africa and the two Italians are doing all right in Dubai but are quite a way behind Sully

[BigG]

Cheers Raymo, I didn’t follow up on the golf until a short time ago and I see
my man Niemann got stuffed by Knox I kind of half expected someone might
get the better of him, I thought that 65 would lead the way and it did. At least
I have the E/W at 45/1 so it eases the pain a bit and he, along with your 2 guys,
is in a good position. Hopefully we can get something more out of this 1

[darren83]

Raymo Grillo got a 4shot lead for you but word of warning did this to me few years ago in Indian open went crazy in 3rd round dropping shot after shot hope better for you

[raymo61]

Lead is down to one now Darren eeeekh!!
I have Vincent with a chance of a place in South Africa and also Ortiz and Ancer and Garnett not far off the places too!! I am sure the wheels will fall off tomorrow but here is hoping

[BigG]

Don’t give up hope Raymo, I thought Grillo was in trouble with bogies
at 10 and 12 but he came back with a couple of birdies so maybe that’s
his wobble over. I’m kicking myself I left out Hovland because he was a
bit shorter than Niemann, and I kept to 2. Niemann has done well but at
10 under and 6 behind the best I can hope for, barring a miracle, is that
he gets into the places. Darren you’re in the same position as me with
Ancer who needs a goud round to get into the money.

Good luck guys
