Each-way bets 1/4 odds first 5


Who do you fancy then?

[Dougie9]

R Fisher 34.00

after his performance in the us open i think an each way bet on fisher could be a good bet here.

I've decided to have an early bet on Kenny Perry @ 80 with betfair , seeing as he let me down in the play-off in the masters , he did not play in last year's open and got slated for it , so he could be up for it this year , with the weather forecasted to be inconsistant i'll be saving my main bets until the cut , like the bookies i cannot see past Tiger
I'll probable have a few interest bet on players to finish in the top 10 before thursday, i'm leaning towards the british and irish players this year until some of the golfing experts put me to rights

[Beanie]

Will try and get some thoughts up later this week, but the early warning is to save your cash if you are thinking of taking a punt on Ross Fisher - his wife is due to give birth sometime this week and he has already said that as soon as she goes into labour he will withdraw no matter what the circumstances are, so there's a high chance he will withdraw mid way through the tournament whatever position he is in, and even if not, his mind might not be 100% on the job in hand.

[Dougie9]

thanks for the tip beanie i will be staying away from that bet now!

Ye traeth i seen that offer on paddy might have to get involved with that one.

[trickrick]

Also note that Boylesports are offering e/w 1-2-3-4-5-6-7..

Bookies that are offering 1-2-3-4 are an absolute disgrace..

[Beanie]

Will do most of my punting between rounds, but a few quick thoughts on what should be a great week.

Firstly - its been written a million and one times but worth stating again - the rough is very very penal at Turnberry, and the greens are flat, which means if you keep it in the fairway then there's a birdie there for the bagging. Miss the fairway, and you can sub that birdie for a bogey. The scoring should still be good - but there are doubles and trebles out there and its the player that keeps them off the card that will probably take the jug.

Also, the weather looks slightly more in favour of the early Thursday starters, as the wind picks up throughout the day, while Friday is a little more even so they wont be penalised as much in the afternoon as those the day before.

I'm generally looking at those that get started before 10:30:

My main man is Henrik Stenson - if you want the low down just read Dave Tindall's analysis on Bettingzone.com - but the gist is that Stenson loves being able to use his 3 wood rather than driver which this course lends itself to. If ever protecting a lead he goes to the 3 wood time and time again because he hits fairways for fun with it, and its likely he'll do that from day 1 at the open. Winner of the Masters this year, and always brings his best game to the big tournaments.

Top 10 looks a more than generous price this week...

5pts Stenson Top 10 @ 5.1 with Betfair

Aside from that no major would be complete without a few sneaky quid on the big prices:

Senden @ 500 - the greens in regulation king
Schwartzel @ 430- very streaky player - absolute nutter with the putter and routinely misses 3 and 4 footers - Im hoping the flatter greens forgive him those moments this week.
Oosthuizen @ 680- cooled off a little after an electric start to the season, but he's at home on the Euro Tour and ill take him on price alone
A Hansen @ 340- another at home on the Euro Tour that when at his best is outstanding. Clever golfer who should enjoy this course(i hope!)

Oh and a free bet on Garcia @ 28/1 - he's been practising for this all year and his game suits perfectly. The flat greens will forgive his putting shortcomings and his driving is as straight as they come.

[traeth]

here are my interest bets in addition to Perry

Sean O'Hair @ 66/1 E/W
Luke Donald @ 80/1 E/W
Brian Gay @ 90/1 E/W

[Wexford Bhoy]

Boyles now 8 places e/w
Small interest on Glover, Gay and Molinari

go on Beanie ! ! ! ! -4 already ! ! ! !
Lay him off at 68/1 now !

Nice call there !

[Beanie]

On an otherwise good in play trading day I missed the best time to get out of that one gaillimh...altho Senden missing a tiddler on 18 didnt help at all - the expected tough conditions for the afternoon starters failed to materialise and it now looks like the advantage will be with the early players tomorrow.

I think the play for tomorrow is to keep the players that will have most of their rounds in by 12 o clock onside like Curtis, Romero, Goosen, Furyk, Marino, Kjeldsen etc - if things turn ugly then the afternoon starters will need to grind out a round to stay in contention.

Stenson looked pretty poor today but scraped a couple of late birdies to keep himself in with a shout. Certainly not holding my breath there tho and turning attentions to the winners market.

[MrJol]

I got £5 ew on GOOSEN at 45-1, not a bad start just hope he can keep going

[ONEDUNME]

Tiger is struggling and looks like he may be on his way home.

Not many saw that coming. I wonder what price you would have got on that before play?
