Sergio Garcia Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Its major time again in the golfing world, albeit my least favourite of the four of them, as the US Open starts on Thursday from Pinehurst. No Tiger once again due to injury and with mixed form for a lot of the top players its going to be hard to predict who will come out on top this week. As much as I like Rory, his odds of around 10s are a bit short considering his bad habit of having a horror round most weeks. Phil has been fancied for this for a while but no top 10s this season yet has made people think twice about backing Lefty here and world number 1 Scott doesn't do well at the US Open with no top 10s ever in his career so far at this Championship. My random bets this week shall be Sergio Garcia - Top 5 last time the tournament was at Pinehurst and has been playing well this year. Worry over injury that made him pull out of BMW Championship at Wentworth but he should go close if fully fit. Jason Dufner - Current PGA Champion and good recent record at US Open with two top 5 finishes in recent times. 2nd at Colonial recently as well so form is good at the moment. If he can get the short stick working he will be in with a shout. Charl Schwartzel - Surprised he hasn't added to his Masters win with another major but in my view has the game for this course and the right temperament to win this. Top 15 twice in last 3 years and is in good form. Stephen Gallacher - Mr Consistency right now being on the front page of leaderboards most weeks these days and could go well for a place at a big price. Has the right mindset for the US Open challenge. Francesco Molinari - Always think he and his brothers best chance of going close at the majors is in the US Open. Straight player tee to green and a bit like Garcia if he can get his putting going can be in contention, good chance of getting a place at a big price. Should hopefully see a lot of this in between World Cup matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Dufner Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Will also be backing Dufner (unsurprisingly). Think he'll do really well at Pinehurst and think he's going for 40/1 at the minute. If his putting is of a average standard he will win IMO. Phil Mickelson another I'll back, decent showing at the weekend and wants this more than anyone. Jim Furyk also seems to compete every time so may put a few quid each way. Zach Johnson also, not great form of late and putting has been surprisingly poor but he can win this. Backed Patrick Reid before but not making that mistake again, same goes for Dustin Johnson. Not expecting much off Jordan Spieth or Matt Kuchar either.

Sooperstar Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 With the World Cup on I think I'm going to pass up on this particular betting opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Skacel Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not sure who to bet on. Might just go for some randoms. US Open is my favourite major. I like par golf and seeing a birdie actually mean something rather than watching them play target golf. Seen this guy? Pretty unlucky but honest aswell http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/27753808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Number 8 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Charl Schwartzel - EW @50/1 Bill Hass - EW @100/1 Martin Kaymer - EW @40/1 Loius Oosthuizen - EW @66/1 Jason Day - EW @28/1 Rory Mclroy @11/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 uncle ask me to put money on J Spieth for him an e/w bet he is always lucky with golf might have to copy him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Mickelson 16/1 ?3 Win Simpson 45/1 ?4 E/W Schwartzel 50/1 ?3 E/W Fowler 66/1 ?3 E/W Poulter 66/1 ?3 E/W Els 125/1 ?2 E/W Never had a bet on Poulter before, just have sneaky feeling for him this week. Only Els is struggling for me. Mickelson, Poulter, Fowler and Schwartzel all Level, and Simpson just one over. Not a bad start for my lot, and just stuck a fiver on McDowell @ 20s, straight win. A couple on here looking good to get a run at it with Kaymer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Matt Kuchar and Jimmy Walker at ?5.00 e/w both. Looked at Kaymer too as he is bang in form but shied away for some reason. Early days I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Kaymer running away with this. 8 shots clear coming to the end of his 2nd round. Can't see anybody getting near him even with 2 rounds to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Last week Coral gave me a free ?2 bet which I put it on Kaymer to win at 33/1. Looking good at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Glad I didn't bet on this. Game's a bogey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Glad I didn't bet on this. Game's a bogey. Kaymer needs a few of them if the others are going to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-e-a-r-t-s Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 any decent streams for the golf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My ?1 ew on Brendon Todd at 100/1 is looking like my best bet. Kaymer was on my list as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Very impressive wire to wire for Martin Kaymer. The German looks back to his best, no one got near him at all this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Great stuff from Kaymer, although I didn't see much of it due to the WC - well done to those who were on him. I got ?25 back thanks to Jason Day putting in a good shift yesterday, so can't complain as it covered my bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
