    Ante post bets for USPGA Championship

    WEBB SIMPSON 33/1

    A major winner already he is i feel love this course at Kiwaih Island where got a layout similar to saw grass and Harbour town 2 courses already won at

    VICTOR HOVLAND 55/1

    This young talent from Norway is fine talent and he someone I expect keep in form this year think Morikawa won this major no reason why yhis talent not make a impact here.

    BRANDEN GRACE 175/1

    Has ideal game being a former winner at Harbour town it not be forgotten has form in majors a wild drive cost him a win at Chambers Bay in US open so while quiet now he sparkle into form soon.

    Good to see you back with us this week Raymo, and I hope your
    mum in law is doing okay :good:

    Sony Open

    Joaquin Niemann 25/1 (40/1 1st round leader market)

    I was going to leave Joaquin out this week, I thought it might take
    him a week or 2 to get over just missing out last week at Kapalua
    where he should have won it in regulation. That 5 footer missed on
    the 18th will give him a few restless nights. Having said that, I’d
    kick myself if he manages to put it behind him and plays the same golf
    that saw him finish with a superb 64 (should have been 63). If he’s in
    the mood he would have every chance here.

    Lanto Griffin 40/1 (55/1 1st round leader market)

    He looked like he was hitting good form at the tail end of last year with
    T7 in the CJ Cup and T11 in the Zozo Championship but then tailed off a
    bit with T58 in the Houston Open and missing the cut at the Masters. He
    looked back in the groove with T2 at the QBE Shootout and last week’s T13
    at the Sentry. He likes it here, finishing T7 last year and if he could
    replicate his closing round 64 in the 1st round I reckon that would probably
    be enough for 1st round leader.

    Sebastian Munoz 50/1 (60/1 1st round leader market)

    I’m sticking with Seb this week, he did well to finish T17 at the Sentry
    considering he had a pish poor 1st round 75. Rounds of 66, 67 and 68
    followed, and the worst of those 3 in the 1st round would have had him
    T5. I think he’s in good shape and will fancy his chances this week.

    Harry Higgs 200/1 (150/1 1st round leader market)

    I’m taking a bit of a punt on Harry, I like the guy and his swash buckling
    style. A bit like John Daly although not quite as talanted. He does hit some
    decent rounds though as in his runner up in the Safeway Open last September.
    He’s not played since early December, after missing the cut at the Mayakoba.
    With his build I’d say he likes his beer, so I hope he’s been putting in a bit
    of practice at the golf and not just celebrating the New Year. His 1st round
    will tell what way he’s going.

    That’s it chaps, I hit the crossbar last week although the E/W covered my
    bets okay. Best of luck this week :good:

    Guys how you think it go at halfway stage Griffin going ok while BigG got Neimann and Morikawa for me

    With 2 rounds to go it’s as wide open as you could ask for. Niemann had
    an average round but I’m happy enough with where he is and Morikawa looks
    in terrific form with a nice 65. They both have great chances but Lanto
    Griffin isn’t too far back at 7 under and he would be a great winner for
    the thread as we are all on him. I don’t see Nick Taylor keeping his lead,
    I’m more concerned to see Webb Simpson up there at 10 under. Moving day
    today, hopefully we can all be in there with a shout tomorrow :good:

    Be cheering him on tonight for me and BigG who on him at 25/1 only 2shot behind leaders who shoot low scores but not might do it again Steele and Na. And with Morikawa to far away think young Chilean win tonight

    Bets for Golf this week

    RORY MCILROY 7/1

    Form here reads do good been 2nd and 3rd so many times here normally this 1st event for him now it the first event for everyone and he be fit for and doubt the rust be there to.

    VICTOR PEREZ 33/1

    Was 2nd here last year where form picked up play better on events in the desert he can go well again here to.

    THOMAS PIETERS 45/1

    Been 2nd and 4th here he loves playing in the middle East events his power ideal for this layout close to winning here before just lost to Fowler but a big runner here

    ADRI ARNAUS 70/1

    Lives in Dubai now and a desert rat loves these style of courses been 3rd in Dubai desert classic to

    RENATO PARATORE 125/1

    Was 22nd here last year a big hitting Italian who won again last year in UK and a matter of time before wins in the desert

    Bets for American express

    PATRICK CANTLAY 16/1

    Best showing here is 9th but he the type of player who can improve on that loves playing in American desert events like Shriners hospital a recent winner in Zozo he back in form

    SUNGAE IM 25/1

    Been 12th and 10th last 2 years and has that potential to improve on that this week and while not click into form yet feel can go well.

    ABRAHAM ANCER 40/1 enhanced price

    Was 2nd here last year getting closer to breaking maiden tag the best maiden on tour and coming back here could go one place better

    JT POSTON 100/1

    Over the last few weeks shown promise and and been 7th here to as well has ideal game for this course at a 3 figure price everything in play

    MICHAEL KIM 600/1

    Run of MC and WD but he snapped that record last week he been 12th here before to suggest could improve again here might be a crazy bet but this event had a 1000/1 winner before with Adam Long

    Rory and Patrick win double 7/1 16/1

    Good luck guys to

    Abub Dhabi Championship

    Tyrroll Hatton 12/1 (28/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s been making his presence felt on both sides of the pond. Winner
    of the BMW PGA Championship and 8th in the DP World Tour Championship
    in Dubai in December. Whilst over in the land of the free this last
    back end, he was not far off in T3 at the CJ Cup and T7 in the Houston
    Open. His game improved no end over the last year or so and I think
    he has a great chance here of adding to his 5 tour wins.

    Christiaan Bezuidenhout 33/1 (40/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s massively overpriced at 33/1, he finished on a roll last year with
    wins in the Alfred Dunhill Championship in November and the South African Open
    in December. He’s not just hot in his own back yard, he just missed out in the
    runners up spot over in Dubai this time last year. His last tournament was also
    over in Dubai where he finished T14 in the DP World Tour Championship. He must
    be brimming with confidence and I’d fancy him to make his mark early, hopefully
    doing the business at 40/1.

    Haotong Li 150/1 (100/1 1st round leader market)

    He seems to play well out here, he T18 in the Oman Open last year and
    was winner of the Dubai Desert Classic 3 years back. He’s a decent player
    on his day although he was pretty much up and down (more down than up) last
    year but showed glipses of decent form when T8 in the Wales Open and T14
    in the Scottish Open and that’s not to mention that he was the halfway leader
    last year in the US PGA before finishing a very respectable T17. He’s coming
    back after a break and if he’s fit and ready, he could make a charge here
    at huge odds.

    Guido Migliozzi 175/1 (125/1 1st round leader market)

    He hasn’t been able to add to his 2 wins back in 2019, the nearest he came
    was out in this neck of the woods when T4 in the Oman Open early last year
    and T6 in the Andalucia masters later in the year. He’s obviously not the
    likliest winner in the field, but I don’t think he should 175/1 (200/1 if
    you only want 5 places). I’m quite sure that he could cause a bit of an
    upset here.

    That’s my four for the start of the European Tour Darren, I hope they are
    all fit and ready. Decent return with Niemann J 1st in the 1st round last
    week, and another crossbar hit 2 weeks running with him runner up. I’ll get
    my American Express bets in later today.
