Golf - Classic or Dud?

now these guys are leaving it open for phil

lunquist w/ "no breeze" (pause) "slight breeze" killed me

that bubba putt was like - go in > win masters, not hit the hole > lose masters - as it is, hi drama

haha otm

:O @ bubba's swag after that tee shot

playoff! come on bubba

hmpf could a bogey here win? i guess either guy could get fortunate and not be buried

louis has some patrons using the foot wedge 4 him imo

wowwwwwww bubba

jesus there was a lot of action on that ball

that'll do it

aw! bubba is such a bro

that was really moving actually

BUBBA

great finish, <3 Bubba

well done bubba, seems a good guy.

Westwood having 21 putts more than Phil thru 3 rounds and only being 4 shots behind him is amazing to me.

Of all the English top 10s who aren't going to win a major ever, his is the saddest case.

i didn't know too much about bubba before this. apparently he doesn't employ a coach and hasn't had a golf lesson since he was 10, which makes that shot on the second playoff hole even more awesome.

tempted to place a bet on the open

who do we reckon as a tasty outsider?

was impressed by fowler at last year’s open, but think he may just be too young yet

yeah i won a few quid on him last year. am off sick today so will take a look at some stage.

zach johnson won in the states last week, could be worth a shot at 66-1. so many long-priced possibles there though, the allure of betting on golf before a ball has been hit.

Matt Kuchar or Peter Hansen are my outsiders. It should be noted that I never actually place hard earned money down on these things.

How about Snedeker at 175-1. Dufner could be a good call, but he may be more of a target golf guy. Zach Johnson really hot lately, i could see those odds narrow as more money put on him closer to tomorrow.

One thing I know is i will never bet on lee westwood again. he handles his putter like its a black mamba or something.

I find it impossible to make predictions on the British because so much seems to depend on whether your game is suitable to the course and conditions.

maybe woods is the right pick at this point because he is almost exclusively playing that low stinging fade which seems perfect for Open style golf. OBviously he's not a longshot.

i went for:

£5 e/w on zach johnson at 66-1.

£2 win on adam scott at 40-1.

£3 e/w on rickie fowler at 33-1.

adam scott going along nicely. considering there is zero wind atm the course seems to be awfully tough. tiger going along serenely tho.

Couple of lads at my work have a couple of quid each way on Paul Lawrie, seems like a decent outside bet.

yeah he's going well so far.

i'm off sick today, and it's actually genuine, not sure anything could beat golf for sick tv.

love the way the narrative of the open every year is "not enough wind, those americans don't know their born" with a faint edge of boredom as everyone annihilates the course v "horrible, horrible stuff, only the strong survive" as some deathly rain and wind rips everyone to pieces.

don't know they're born... obv

£5 e/w on zach johnson at 66-1.

£2 win on adam scott at 40-1.

Not bad!

i know :)

just as likely to end up with nothing as ever though.

golf tips from ilx...

lol

i forgot to mention i have £10 on colsaerts at 1000-1.

just felt his time had come.

He did ok at US Open, at least for the first couple rounds. There would be worse places to put your dough

dud except when Jay Kordich does it

Based on scores, course looks to be playing much easier than anybody thought.

as a rule, 1st day is generally lowest scores - easy pin placement

colsaerts has done really well on euro tour this yr also, tho notably has faded on several sundays when he was in contention

the weather has been really kind too, up until the last couple of hours. there was no wind earlier.

zachary's odds narrowed substantially now

if zach wins i may not make it in to work on monday
