Know nothing about that Kim chap, anyone think he can do it again?, apart from Tiger back to back wins are extremly rare.

Good value on good value players out to Els @30.

Have to back Harry,(tradition) he's the only reason I'm in here and he is definitely even more determined than last year.
20/1ew is worth a shot.
Well Kim might just have a bit of the Tiger in him - during his win this week he could have been excused a final round wobble given his age and given that he had no wins, but he played very solidly again, draining putts from everywhere and not giving the rest a sniff, just the way Tiger tends to close out.

He's got a big drive, attacks pins, and can putt like a dream - so I'd certainly suggest he can do it again - whether his price is value to do so is another matter entirely. Probably not, but worth another look later.

I'd give Els the body swerve - he's been a shadow of his former self recently and is priced up like that purely because he's Ernie. Any other player would be 100+ with his form.

He just doesnt seem interested anymore - there's younger, fitter, even stronger guys out there now.

It started back when he lost the Alfred Dunhill after being 2 shots ahead on the last hole, hit the water twice and missed a tiddler to force a playoff - since then the desire has gone and I dont see him being consistent enough here.
