Ernie Els

[Deleted member 1418]

Two wins in his last two tournaments (he wrapped up the Bay Hill Invitational just now). Whoever got on at 33/1 for the Masters must be quietly confident!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think personally he's peaked a little too early. Am I right in thinking there is a gap next week before the Masters. I think he'll be there or thereabouts but may run out of steam.

 

[pokerjoke]

That may be true Homer but id rather be playing well and my confidence sky high than to be trying to find my game in a big comp,as they say winning becomes a habit,as you say should be thereabouts.

 

[Imurg]

He'll go in knowing his game is right on the money and that has to be good for his confidence - and we all know that makes a big difference!

Come on Ernie - lets have a Big Easy Slam!!

 

[golfcitydweller]

apparantly he`s put $10,000 bucks on himself to win masters ...not sure what odds he got -but i bet there slashed now ..put your cash on stricker !!

 

[richy]

I got 28's. Still a nice lump if it comes in.

 

[DCB]

If he can get rid of the silly mistakes he made on the greens then he'll do well 'cause tee to grren he was very impresive indeed.

Love this bit of reporting on the bbc

"Els, who led by two with four holes left when play was halted because of storms on Sunday, limped home with four pars on Monday as Kevin Na threatened."

I wouldn't mind limping home with four pars, particularly if the pars came on holes that were as tough as those at Bay Hill!!!

 

[didsbury_duffer]

My money (if I get to the bookies) is still on one of the better putters - Woods, Kaymer, Poulter.

 

[pablo123]

Ernies New putting stroke has been working really well. he's deffo a good shout for the green jacket. But just for golfs sake I want tiger to win. I don't care about his personal life I love watching him play golf! He'd have great delight in sticking 2 fingers up to the media

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Poulter to be top European. Ogilvy and Clark are my tips to win

[Imurg]

500-1 on Floyd?

Blimey I'll have a bit of that

 

[JT77]

Mcdowell at 100-1, maybe each way?

Dustin Johnson and Lee Westwood for me!

But els looks like a differant man atm!!

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

Kaymer is a good shout at 40-1 but i would say Oliver Wilson at 150-1 is worth a shout too

 

[CrapHacker]

This little section looks like there's some good value to be found somewhere

Kenny Perry 80/1
Stewart Cink 80/1
Chad Campbell 80/1
Adam Scott 100/1
Trevor Immelman 100/1
Andres Romero 100/1
Graeme McDowell 100/1

Maybe it needs slimming down a tad, but there's a lot of uninspirational, steady golf going to be played by some of this lot.

And for an each way bet..........

Perry, Scott, Immelman and Romero can all come and sit on my sofa and watch it with me cos they have diddly squat chance.

I think that McDowall is a good e/w bet. Think Mike Weir may also be worth a couple of sheckles e/w as well.

I agree with you. Perry has gifted several majors now, and will not win one (except as a Senior, possibly). The others are nowhere near.

GMac has had a few good performances at Augusta and if he gets his eye in, could do well.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Angel Cabrerra at 50/1, that's gotta be worth a punt?

 

[slugger]

how has stricker been playing? thought he was excellent last season, but i've not seen much of him.
