    Good luck Mike with Rory though I hope Reed holds on – obviously.

    I think Rory is the danger.

    Good luck all.

    Good luck guys, I think if Reed keeps his nerve, and plays as he has done, he’ll
    probably take this. Having said that, if there’s one player you don’t want to be
    looking over your shoulder for, it’s McIlroy. McIlroy also has a presence about
    him, and that makes him not the best playing partner. It’s going to be a great
    finish, I think you guys (MOM and Mike) will have it between you.

    I thought I might have a chance of a place with 2 of mine when they were getting to the end
    of their rounds. Cameron Smith played a good round, and got to 5 under with two to play.
    Unfortunately he bogied the last 2, he would need to play a blinder (he’s T12) to get into
    the money. I was getting a bit excited with Kuch also. He had a bit of a mare at 3 over in
    his outward 9, but 5 birdies in the space of 6 holes, for a short time had me tuning into an
    American…… WooHoo, go Kuch :yahoo: …and the like. It was cut short, and I returned to
    being a dour Scot when he double bogied the last :-(

    The only way I can see anyone below Rory getting into it, is if Reed falls apart, but I don’t
    think he’ll do a Grieg Norman, or (whisper it) a Rory á la 2011 :whistle:
    Most firms are offering variations on the betting without market, Reed/Reed and Mcilroy/and
    even w/o Reed/McIlroy and Fowler. I’ve not gone in yet, but I’ll have a look round and see if
    anything looks overpriced. Good luck guys :good:

    Having had a look through the betting w/o market, all have odds without Reed. Of those
    w/o Reed and McIlroy, Paddy Power go 6/4 Fowler,13/5 Rahm. Boylesports go 7/4 Fowler,
    11/4 Rahm. Betvictor go 11/4 Fowler, 11/2 Rahm. I think Betvictor are sticking their
    necks right out with Rahm (one shot behind Fowler) at 11/2. I could be tempted B-)

    Blimey that’s a huge price with Rahm from Betvictor.

    Out of interest, who was your bets with BigG? Coral and Skybet were going 10 places so I still think I have a chance on Kuchar each way? He’s a good Sunday player and at tied 15th, could place.

    Got the Reed and Kuchar both to finish top 10 at 16/1 with skybet introduces on the request a bet market so I am doubly hopeful of a big finish from Kuchar.

    Kucher definitely is one that that should finish well MOM. You have a better chance than
    me at 10 places. I can’t bet with Coral, I had Kucher with Bet365 8 places. Unfortuanatey
    I only have 7 places for Cameron Smith, as he was best priced at 125/1 with Boylesports.
    I also have Jason Day, who is on the same mark as Kucher, but as he was 18/1 with Ladbrokes
    I had him win only.

    I’ve had a few quid on Rahm at 11/2 w/o Reed and McIlroy, and late in the round last night I
    thought I’d chance a bit of e/w on Stenson at 25/1 3 places. He didn’t quite finish the way I
    wanted and he’s 33s now, although only 2 places. I’ll run with those, but I think my best chance
    has to be Rahm.

    Good luck MOM, your man is in the driving seat, and I think your Reed/Kuchar Top 10 bet is definitely
    still on :good:

    Cheers bud. Here’s hoping. Good luck with Rahm. I left that market alone in the end. I’ve left the matchup markets alone today as well. I’m allowing all my focus on reed and Kuch.

    If anything, it’s a shame I’ll be wishing Fleetwood and Rory miss their putts as they are two of my favourite players.

    Five minutes until they tee off, good luck everyone.

    Jees MOM, do you have any fingernails left :wacko: What looked like a 2 horse race
    turned into a real battle. Very well done MOM, that’s a terrific win :good:

    Bad luck Mike, McIlory just didn’t ever look on top of his game, but I’m glad he hung
    on for the Top 8 betting for you.

    Darren, I’m sure you must have thought before Spieth hit a ball today that his chance
    had gone, I know that I did, but what a round he had and I actually thought when he
    drew level that he might just pull it off. Pity about the last hole, although he would
    have needed a birdie. Well done with Bubba, he gave you a great run for your money and
    was a nice place.

    Raymo, Rahm at 22s and Leishman at 60s make nice e/w shots, I’m sure you will have ended
    up by the end of play.

    Botchy well done latching onto Lieshman too

    I covered all my 1st round bets with Kuchar, but I thought at the start of play today that
    I wasn’t likely to get much out of my bets struck before the tournament, but what a round
    by Cameron Smith. Six under par in the last round of the Masters shows how good this guy
    can be. It could easily have been 8 under, his 2nd at the par 3 16 made its way back down
    the slope and stopped barely an inch from the hole, and then he missed a 4 footer at the last
    for another birdie. I’m not complaining though, T5th e/w at 125/1 will do nicely for me :good:
    Flyers, I know you’re not an e/w punter, I’ll need to convert you mate, you do pick out some
    huge priced places

    I think I enjoyed this Masters even more than usual, I hope the other Majors can match up.

    Raymo, I just clocked from your post that you had Bubba too, even better with
    your other 2 winners. I think we should all open the bubbly B-)

    Tremendous shout MOM…..he did it the hard way,with a world class field snapping at his heels,kept his nerve and ultimately played the best golf over the 4 days,deserving winner…..well played.

    Well done to Raymo.Botchy,Darren,Mike and BigG,some great shouts pre-tournament, plenty of placed winners who did you all proud,lovely to see those selections rewarded……top stuff.

    Iconic course that never fails to provide drama in the extreme,another action packed final round,with the final few holes keeping everyone in suspense,Augusta truly is a special golf venue.

    Will heed those words BigG,never too late to change ones angle,young Smith continues to make giant strides and has done you proud once again,lots to take out of this tournament,for the rest of the season ahead.

    Hopefully not missed anyone out……once again,well done to those coming out on top B-)

    It was fitting that he’d send my nerves to the very last putt BigG that’s for sure.

    Looking at it again, TRF have absolutely smashed the bookies this week. Nearly everyone had a win in some form or a placer.

    Well done everyone.

    Same again for the next major ;)

    Great stuff on you guys who collected. Reed certainly deserved that, steady as a rock those last two days. :yes:

    Must remember to do each way from now on, especially with 10 places and all that. See ya’ll at the US Open :good:
