Casey or McIntyre in Dubai?

[User62651]

Looks nicely poised for a good 3 way battle tomorrow in Dubai.
Thinking of a flutter on this.
Where would you go - old campaigner Casey or young gun McIntyre?
Is Saffer Stone any good under pressure? Not up with who's who on Tour these days other than McIntyre who is our home town boy and the better known older players.

Isn't McIntyre from your club or area?
He has done amazingly well.
I am normally a good spotter of young golfing talent but I was discussing Bob with my brother last year and said that I think he may be a one or two season wonder.
I think I may be proved seriously wrong.

Would love MacIntyre to do it, he’s barely put a foot wrong since joining the tour. Love listening to him. Can’t really work out if Casey is a good ‘closer’, obviously used to be but would now expect him not to have a great Sunday than the other way round. Think Stone is quite a good bet at 7-1.

 

[USER1999]

Would prefer Casey, or may be Rose.

My suspicion is Stone will pip the two Brits whilst they deal with the pressure of being the final pair. I hope I'm wrong and McIntyre takes the title. I'm not anti Casey, just pro McIntyre.

Don't get the Mcintyre love in. I don't see anything in him at all. Just don't.

Yes, Oban is his home town, folks have a place right on the golf course.
Decent shinty player which must have helped with hand eye co-ordination - hitting a moving ball.
MacIntyre looks to me to have a decent future because he has such a good natural short game and is strong mentally, confident attack strategy prevails.
See how he goes, seems the best Scottish prospect in a long time though. Potentially best since Monty.

Not a love in, just we've been short of top level players up here for a while. At 24 he's doing something right! Consistently hitting top 10s.
I am a big Casey fan btw, always liked the way he plays.

 

[USER1999]

Oh, I totally get why the Scottish boys are on this.

 

[USER1999]

I was thinking more commentators and such saying he will be on the RC team. That's a big leap.
Some on here don't rate Fitzpatrick for instance, and yet he is way up there in comparison, albeit has clearly been around longer.

Daft, the lad comes from where I live now and is affiliated to my local club I was a member of, turning that nationalistic is silly, natural to follow someone local.

Anyway who to back tomnorrow of those 3 clear of field?

He seems like a very nice young man.

Hoping he can do the business tomorrow. ?

The way the Sky guys and others, including Harrington, speak about him isn’t for nothing. They’ve seen plenty golfers come and go and they must see something in him. There’s no reason for them to be picking him out, it’s not like he’s an ex pro’s kid or from a high profile club, so I’m inclined to believe it’s a genuine belief that he’s something special so I’m happy to take them at their word and time will no doubt tell.
Backing up rookie of the year with a first tour win and contending at some big events suggests there’s plenty about him as well.

I thought Monty was a Yorkshire man.

Well Wikipedia says he was born in Glasgow but it also says he's 90kg! ?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I picked Casey this week, @Imurg didnt
He also dropped McIntyre

Chortle ?

But you need a several thousand point head start...just obliging

Only got 2/1 on Macintyre.
Casey 4/5 on so bookies firmly with him for the W.
