    Just had a bit of 20/1 e/w 1/5 4 places with Boylesports on Justin Thomas. he’s one of
    my guys for the tournament, but he looks like he’s on a role He was 2 under when I laid
    the bet (I’ll show the bet if it comes in) but he’s since picked up another birdie and is
    best priced 14s with Coral as I type this. Like I said in my initial spiel, he’s a birdie
    machine. This looks like an interesting round :good:

    Hang on in there Raymo, You’ve got 1st and joint 2nd at the moment, I’d love to
    see Steele go on and win it for you at 150/1, but I just don’t want him to catch up
    with Thomas tonight. If Thomas manages to stay there, it’s going to be a damn site
    better for me than last night, I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed :wacko:

    I think the seven unders are too far back barring a miracle!!
    By my reckoning that leaves nine in it,
    I tend to agree with you Darren about the three you mentioned but don’t be surprised if Fleetwood goes for it!
    I did look at the betting but I think the bookies have it about right with the three mentioned as first three in the betting.
    If a bigger price one was to win I think it might be Hoffman who is a streak player.

    Just another point if you look back at the picks we have made in the last few weeks pretty much everyone that is in with a chance has been picked by one of us in the last few weeks, So we do spot quality!!

    Good Luck Today guys :good: :good:

    I think you’re probably right about Harman Darren, you would expect him to struggle going
    into the last round with the weight of leader in the US Open on his shoulders, winning the
    Wells Fargo last year doesn’t come close to this. Having said that, he keeps surprising me.
    I expected him to fall away last night, I didn’t see him as the main threat to my bet on
    Thomas for 3rd round leader, but he hung on there, even after finding trouble at the 17th.
    He cost me a few quid, even though it would have been a 4 way tie. I said I’d post my bet
    if it came up, (in case anyone thought I was at it) as I typed it when he had picked up 3
    or 4 birdies, and I backed him after 2 birdies. I copied my pending bet at that time.

    It could have been a lot better, but 60 quid up is okay.

    If Thomas were in the same form today (he was unbelievable), I think he wins this. The only problem
    I see, is that it doesn’t often happen where someone hits a record breaking round, that they follow up
    in the next round. I’m hopeful though that he is mentally strong enough. I think it’s between him, Fowler
    and Keopka. As much as Fleetwood has been inspired (other than his mental melt down at the 18th), this is
    a million miles from his win in the Abu Dhabi in January and his game looked decidedly iffy in the Memorial
    last time out. It could be famous last words, but I think he’ll fade. Raymo, you must have been pulling
    your hair out with Steele, after his double bogey at the 17th, he’s not out of it yet but it’s going to be
    tough for him.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the winner was not much lower that where they stand at the moment, if that’s
    the case, if there is to be a shock with someone hitting a low one from behind, then I’m inclined to
    consider Snedeker again. He didn’t manage to get into the top 4 last night, as I’d hoped, but 2 under
    for his round was no disgrace. It should have been 3 under, maybe even 4 under if he had birdied the last
    instead of the silly bogey he got. He’s 5 off the lead (4 off if you exclude Harman), and at 66/1 3 places
    Bet365 I think he’s worth a small interest again.

    Sit back and enjoy tonight guys, I think it’s going to be a cracker :good:

    Aint got no hair left G!!! LOL

    I have had a small wager on Hoffman e/w 3 places at 40/1 cos I think he is about the only one that is overpriced.

    Once again guys good luck and no hair pulling cos it only makes me jealous cos I aint got none LOL :good:

    Good luck with Hoffman Raymo, he’s well capable of hitting a low round I just hope he’s
    learned from his disaster last round in The Masters. He finished T22, but he was well in
    there till he dropped 5 shots in the last 6 holes. If that’s made him stronger, he’s not
    out of this.

    If your hair’s gone west Raymo, just grab onto anything you can, I think it’s going to be a
    bumpy ride :good:

    Well this isn’t quite going to plan :wacko: Thomas looks to be playing a different course today,
    2 over after 4. Puts him 4 behind Koepka and Harman. I’ve taken a bit e/w on Matsuyama at 66/1 with
    Betvictor. He’s 8 under after 9, he’s very unlikely to win, but I can see a few faltering when the
    chips are down and maybe Matsuyama might sneak into 3rd. A long way to go.

    I’m getting a bit excited now :wacko: Matsuyama the clubhouse leader at 12
    under. I doubt if it’s going to be enough, but just 1 off the lead you never
    know. 6 under par is some round, just a pity about that bogey on 15. I’ll be
    happy enough if he can stay within the top 3 for my 66/1 e/w. Squeaky bum time
    as Fergie would say :whistle:

    Well that didn’t work out to plan!!
    We were looking good until the last round!!
    I must say again that I think by doing what they did ruined it as a spectacle for me !!
    You study and pick players for a certain type of course and then they change it because players start moaning that it is too tough! As a golfer albeit a not very good one I know that if you stand on a tee and the fairway is eighy yards wide you are gonna give it a bash and if it is only forty yards wide with big trouble either side you are more likely to be careful and that would bring to the fore a different type of player.
    Anyway rant over and close but no cigar for us all!!

    Yes not the best with our pre tournament bets guys, all of mine sunk without
    trace, even though Thomas looked promising before the last round, but he
    crashed and burned big time. I was much more successful in the in-play
    betting, with Casey for 2nd round leader, Thomas for 3rd round leader and
    Matsuyama capped it off with a blistering round and 2nd outright was a proper
    result e/w at 66s. They saved my bacon and I was up overall, but I expected a
    lot more from my initial picks. Anyway, the Open is the next big one, lets hope
    we can do a bit better there :good:
