Maroon Sailor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Final major of the year starts Thursday. My least favourite out the 4 as I always find it difficult to pick the winner. Not had a good return on this tournament over the years. Thought Nick Watney was going to do the business for me 3 years ago but blew a big overnight 3rd round lead and didn't even get in to the top 10 in the end. Tiger is in hot form and will to be the one to beat but his price will be ridiculously short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairdin Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Can't see anything other than an American winner. Will probably put my each way bets on Bubba Watson and Zach Johnson. Suspect Tiger Woods will be the winner, but the odds reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Kuchar is pretty consistent - took him @ 35/1 Bill Haas is having a good season - couldn't resist the 66/1 on offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross992 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Kaymer each way might be a shout, poor round on Thursday at Bridgestone but followed it up with three rounds in the 60's! Plus he's won it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Stenson will be one of my bets, he's been there or there abouts over the last month or two. Might even stick Westwood or Donald on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo-Jambo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yip, Stenson for me as well and Jason Day. Had Mickelson on for the Scottish and British opens but cant see him winning again. Got a sneaky feeling that Tiger Woods could take this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I really fancy Snedeker to win this. Definitely betting him and two from Stenson, Kuchar, Mahan and Zach Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboCampbell Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Snedeker i think backed him for a while in all majors and he is geting close! Very consistant player but does tend to hve an hour or so every major where he chucks all the stable work out the window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not sure with this one, notoriously difficult to predict the winner. Having not a bad year on the Majors with Adam Scott (Masters) winner, Jason Day (US Open) 2nd and Henrick Stenson (The Open) 2nd. Well in front. This weekend, any 2 from Stenson, Bradley, Snedeker and Kaymer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Tiger has all the momentum but at his odds he is far too short to bet at the moment I am thinking my money will be going on the following players each way, will decide for sure by tomorrow night. Sergio 55/1, Haas 60/1, Simpson 66/1, Moore 110/1, Sterne 125/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Stenson will be one of my bets, he's been there or there abouts over the last month or two. Might even stick Westwood or Donald on. Can't see Donald ever winning a major tbh. Not sure on my bets yet, will take a closer look tomorrow. Mickelson has to be in with a shout again I reckon.

Mickelson has to be in with a shout again I reckon. Donalds best chance was the other year/year and a half when he was consistently top 10 in tournaments and even then he never really challenged in the majors.

The Fat Number 8 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Tiger could lap the field again this week but not going to be backing him as short as 7/2 on a tough Par 70 tree lined course that requires accuray and a few drivers off the tee where he's also shot +13 at in 2003. Going to look for abit of EW value from Stenson, Bill Hass, Webb Simpson, Lee Westwood and Jordan Speith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Anyone placed their bets? Off on holiday tomorrow but placed some bets for a bit interest. ?2 E/W on the following: Adam Scott - 16/1 Brandt Snedeker - 25/1 Matt Kuchar - 33/1 Jim Furyk - 70/1 Also on Woods to win, at 4/1 the odds aren't great but this must be his best chance to add to his tally.

Terry Tate Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Bradley @ 35/1, Day @ 40/1 and Scott @ 18/1, all each way (I'd only make significant money on Bradley). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The course is wet and it's just a game of yardages today. Hopefully it will have a good finish on Sunday unlike last week which was over before a ball was struck.

Sergio Garcia Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Vijay at the start of the year admitted using deer antler spray which has a growth hormone ingredient in it thats banned by the World Anti doping agency in an interview, he was banned for 3 months from February IIRC but the PGA hadnt actually tested him for the substance and WADA said the spray wasnt potent enough to ban him for so his ban was lifted after a few days. It was huge news at the time and then again in May when Vijay stated he was going to sue the PGA for leaving him open to humiliation and him being emotionally distraught.

Davie749 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Deer antler spray!? WTF would you need that for?

Sergio Garcia Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Deer antler spray!? WTF would you need that for? As Bubba Watson said at the time, if people are taking something called deer antler spray they should be checked for mental health problems. Its kinda weird.

Sergio Garcia Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Looks like big Vijay has chucked it then? Does it cure hayfever? I think Vijay has always been a bit mental to be fair. 5 years since his last win has probably made him a bit more mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
