    JON RAHM 14/1 enhanced price

    Form figures here of 4,7,9 tell you he liked it here and it true the 1st major the hardest to win.he has every chance here and become a new father what better way to celebrate with a green jacket

    DANIEL BERGER 35/1

    A winner already this year at Pebble beach and been 10th here before to. a injury doubt he was but at matchplay seem to be over it now and he the type of young star make his impact on majors now

    SUNGAE im 45/1 ante post

    Had 2 ante post bets the next one be up next his best ever performance was 2nd here what made it more incredible it was his debut here.he play ok at Honda classic and the players championship to suggest a bold showing coming.

    HARRIS ENGLISH 100/1 Ante post

    Got off to best start with win at Sentry tournament of champions but lost a bit of form since 42 best showing here may lack course experience but could easily bounce back to form

    ADAM SCOTT 66/1

    Former winner who loves playing here has built up a stack of experience around here to at Farmers insurance and Honda classic signs of ball striking form coming back.and should not be passed over very lightly

    MARC LEISHMAN 110/1

    Was in bad form last year but 13th here suggest a course he loves and been 4th to was 4th in Sony open as well and this aussie like Scott is going under the radar here

    Add other bets like top players and top debutant as well

    Good luck all

    Love it Darren my favourite week of the year to throw away half my paycheck on 100/1 no hopers! In fact, this year I’ve actually decided to be stricter with who I back. All my bets have been done e/w Top 11.

    Sungjae 30/1 – Our man, I don’t think this needs explaining! We backed him last year and I don’t expect any of us to be losing the faith yet!

    Paul Casey 30/1 – back him most years for this and he’s proved profitable e/w at Augusta so would be crazy to stop now while he’s in tremendous form.

    Si Woo Kim 100/1 – good golfer who I think is overprice.

    Brooke Koepka 22/1 – injury worry means he’s a generous price, I’ll take it considering how good he can play round here.

    I see I’m going under the psuedonym BogG :whistle:

    Love this competition and I stuck 3 on ante post at the start of the
    year……

    Viktor Hovland 50/1

    I’ve stolen a few points as he’s best priced 33/1. He was in sparkling form
    earlier on in the year with 3 top 5 finishes, but he’s gone a little off the
    boil in his last 3 tournaments. I’m not sure why that is, all I can do is hope
    he finds his earler form. If he’s in contention after the break I’d really
    fancy his chances

    Mathew Wolff 50/1

    Wolff is the opposite of Hovland, he’s gone out in the market and is readily
    available at 90/1. He injured his hand around the time of the American Express
    back in January, and I wished he had declared it as I backed him next time out
    in the Farmers and he only managed 1 round before he withdrew. He’s been struggling
    with it and had to W/D again at the Workday Championship at The Concession in February.
    He took a month off and came back for the WGC Match Play and although he didn’t make
    the knock out stage, he did at least have a win, and a draw against Speith. If he
    is genuinely over his injury he would have a shout, but Augusta isn’t the place to
    carry an injury. The jury is out I’m affraid :unsure:

    Dylan Frittelli 125/1

    He had his A game going back at the time of The Masters last year with an impressive T5.
    He followed that with a 3rd at the South African Open, he was going great guns. He has
    however slipped a bit since and is still generally 125/1 with a couple of 150s. He missed
    5 cuts since then, but maybe he’s coming back into form with this Masters not so long after
    his last, and he did manage to get through to the knockout last 16 in the Match Play last
    time out. He’s probably about priced right, but he might just fancy his chances round here
    again.

    I’ll add a couple more now……(or 3 :whistle: )

    Lee Westwood 40/1 (40/1 1st round leader market)

    I’ve had a go with Lee recently as he’s playing better than he has for many a year.
    He was always someone who I would avoid like the plague as he always seemed to get
    himself into a good position but never seemed to see it through. I think he’s upped
    his physical training and that’s brought about a positive change in his game. He was
    runner up in the Arnold Palmer and The Players last month so should be feeling up
    for this.

    Joaquin Niemann 40/1 (50/1 1st round leader market)

    I’ve backed Niemann a few times, and he’s done me well. He started off this year in
    the Sentry Tournament of Champions, and only lost out in a play off to Harris English.
    He followed it up with a T2 next time in Hawaii. Not quite been at that level since
    although he was unlucky last time out to not get through to the knock out stage at
    the Match Play. He’s 22 so still got a long way to go, he’s already got a PGA Tour
    win under his belt, I would love to see him add a Major.

    Max Homa 90/1 (80/1 1st round leader market)

    I think he’s a big price here and even though he can be a bit hot and cold
    he has a good game. Put in a good performance at the AT&T Pebble Beach in
    February with a T7, and showed that was no fluke when winning next time out
    in the Genesis Invitational. T10 in the Arnold Palmer last month and like
    Niemann he was a tad unlucky not to get through to the knock out stage of
    the Match Play last time out. Worth a pop I reckon.

    Best of luck guys :good:

    Cannot really add anything to the outright selections already suggested, although I may have a small each way bet on Mickelson at 125/1!

    Having said that, I quite like Bernhard Langer to be Top Senior at 9/2. He has a great record of making the cut and if he does it looks like he only has Mickelson to beat. 9/2 has got to be too big in a two runner race.

    Each Way on Adam Scott @ 66-1 [8 places]

    Backed Reed at 33/1 and Scott at 66/1.

    I can see the appeal of Casey each way but he does not convince for the outright win. Talks a good game but still not delivered in the majors.

    I will back someone towards the head of the market nearer the time. Probably be boring and choose D Johnson.

    Can’t help feeling Spieth is being overbet on the back of one win in four years. And I would rather see Rahm win a major before I back him in one. His temperament puts me off – you could see him getting worked up in the Players and in the WGC. So watch either of those two win by about five shots now!!

    Well here we go guys. It will be interesting to see how different the course a compared to November !!

    To start with am on Sungjae Im at various prices because like I did with ALLAHO at Cheltenham I keep putting all my free bets on him and it worked with Allaho so hopefully it will work with him. I am on at various prices ranging from 45/1 down to 35/1 and have backed him on the machine at 65 too!!

    So my picks are

    SUNGJAE IM 35/1 and I get a free bet for every first round birdie
    D BERGER 30/1
    A ANCER 66/1
    R PALMER 125/1
    C CHAMP 150/1
    They ae all 11 places each way

    M LEISHMAN 100/1
    D FRITTELLI 125/1
    Those two are ten places each way and then I have backed a few at crazy prices on the machine to lay em back if they start well
    CT PAN 700
    C SCHWARTZEL 1000
    D FRITTELLI 330
    C CHAMP 390
    R PALMER 280
    A ANCER 140

    I decided against backing Top Euro or Rest Of The World or anything like that this year because I always get it wrong LOL

    Good Luck Guys and Come on IM :good: :good: :wacko: :wacko: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Good short game, good Masters record and in good current form. 40/1 I believe.
