Scoring looks a bit tricky today - still no idea who wins but fingers crossed for you Sned backers - I'll be cheering him home...hopefully O'Hair, Karlsson or Weir can snaffle a top 10 for a little return.

Pretty good picks there Beanie, big prices all of them were, obviously none will actually win but not too far off, definitely good picks.

Ive had a massive think about my position on Snedeker and ive decided im gona partially lay him IF he drops to 3/1. Ill still have the payout situation biased 5:1 in profit of him winning though, just a smallish partial lay. Still want an epic payout if he does it see.

Ive got reasonable confidence in him being able to lead or tie the lead at some point in the front 9 and if he manages to gain that position for however brief a time, hell go 3/1 imo and the deal will be struck. If he hasnt achieved any move in the front 9 im just gona remove the lay bet and ride the lightning.

Just looking for a shaky/nervous start from Immelman OR a storming Snedeker start. It would help if Woods didnt get anymore than 1 birdie in the first 6 or 7 holes as well of course

EAGLE SNED - what a putt! -10!

Bogey eagle bogey start lol. Tiger aint gona win. Immelman has started very shaky as suspected, just need Sned to take advantage

Slightly off topic here - but I can;t help but envy Hazel Irvine during April.
She gets to spend the week at Augusta, then a few days at home before 17 days at the Crucible. Obviously as the years have gone by she has had to spend more time with John Parrott (trying to get into her knickers) and Steve Davis but even so!

Unlucky with Snedeker fellas, but fair play to Immelman looks like he has held it together, after an early wobble, whilst everyone else has fallen apart (just teeing off on 16 as i write).

Well my little interest bet did its job (although didn't see much). Boo Weekley birdied 18 to shaft my 4-timer, but the bet did its job!

Did I speak too soon????????

Well that was that. Bar Sned drawing level on the 2nd no one ever really put him under real pressure - Flesch dunked it in the water at a critical time, Tiger never got going and Sned was a bit up and down as his back 9 yesterday suggested he might be. Congrats to Immelman, drove like a dream and easily the best player this week.

My punts were a bit miserable - none of the long shots really ever getting going altho Rose beat Donald, Karlsson made top 10 to give me summat back and Tiger's birdie at the 18th means my punt on him gets stake returned, so atleast something positive to end the weekend.

Well done to all winners, ODM for the Tiger lay and esp muse for the Snedeker shout - inspired!

I'd be happy with a top 5 from any of the above .

Harrington & Mickelson

Well done to all who were on Imelman, hope he keeps it up and does not become another Lawrie /Weir etc.

Great to see all his family there at the end

, yes we know there is a lot of money involved but think of the kid " my daddy"

etc etc lovely

.

Just for the record: Harrington to win a major in 2008 & McIlroy to win a european tour event in 2008 & a major by 2010. No after timing here

. bets placed last autumn. PP.

Aye , well done Muze , and all the rest of the winners

Yeah great run for my money thats for sure. Never got the partial lay on btw, the lowest he ever went was 3.6/1 and I needed 3/1

Shame but you gota let em ride unless you get the right price, otherwise youll just shaft yourself in the long run. Snedeker just put in a stinker today didnt he, 9 bogies, yuck.

There was a round out there for Woods today, he only lost by 3 and he 100% left 2 or 3 easy enough putts out there. Coulda got a playoff quite easily. I swear Immelman would have cracked under real pressure if anyone got in his face, wtf was that water shot about on 16th and thats with everyone 6 back at that point. Still he was the best player, immaculate from the tee, so fair play.

Betwise all I won was the Snedeker top 10 bet @ 11/1 in the end so that returned about half my money on total stakes. So a loss but super entertainment. I think the Golf Majors are my favourite sport to watch.

See y'all for the US Open on 12th June? Hopefully a more dramatic finish in that one I love those.

Same here but I'd settle for easy money like that with no heart stopping moments every day
