My picks for this week are;

Dustin Johnson @ 20/1
M. Leishman ew @ 100/1
D. Willett ew @ 100/1
Kaymer ew @50/1

Good luck chaps

3out 4 miss the cut so it's all about Dustin for the next 2 days
 
Rose, Dustin Johnson & An e/w for me, only small bets for interest

Have to do Westwood, as I've backed him in every Major over the last 10years or so, although the stakes I'm placing on him are getting smaller!!!!

If Woods to miss cut was even money I'd have lumped on, but too short at 4/6, so going to leave it

Note to self, stop obsessing about odds on not being value, £200 @4/6 would have paid £333.33, @Evens would have paid £400. Talked myself out of (what I thought was) a nailed on bet for the sake of an extra few quid, aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!
Oh well, just hoping Dustin Johnson can soften the blow for me

You've got to trust your own judgement mate, I'm also on Dustin ;)
 
DJ, Matsuyama still on for me. Stuck a wee number on Summerhays too, today at 66/1. Lowry could be a good e/w, also.
 
This week's Travelers Championship - as ever - is wide open this week. Those of you who can spot trends at this event must be congratulated. The current PGA Tour trend betting-wise is to back +400/1 shots or those shorter than 35/1 so let's see if that trend continues this week. The recent "sweet-spot" here has been OWGR 60 to 160 players at 125/1 - 150/1.

Brendon de Jonge at 90/1 with Skybet is pretty damn perfect for this tournament - where perennial bridesmaids can reach the promised land. If he doesn't hit the front too soon, he could steal his first PGA Tour win this week at a course where he shot 63 in 2009.

Jonas Blixt at 175/1 interests me and is worth a speculative punt. Whether he's accurate enough off the tee is the debatable factor, but boy can he putt and with a lowly FEC rank, he's starting to deliver when required.

Vijay Singh at 200/1 has a track-record here and putted well at Muirfield last time out. Another who interests with Paddy Power - 6EW.

If David Toms can find the dance-floor more often than he has recently, 250/1 could be a very layable price over the weekend.

But on a course where putting is key and late chargers tend to overtake those in the final group, I'm joining the punt of the week - namely Zach Johnson - who seems to be finding the core assets that have deserted him this season - namely accurate approach play and a firing putter. He needs to make a move to avoid the panic of a Jay Haas Captain's Pick for the President's Cup and his linkable course form, was enough to make me go cross-eyed. Backed into 35/1 only SkyBet and Coral are holding out at that price currently.
 
I always end up going OTT with the majors

So this week is no exception.

Outrights -
Matsuyama 35/1, Keegan Bradley 80/1, Oosthuizen 100/1, Schwartzel 150/1, Ogilvy 250/1, Tringale 250/1

72 Hole Match Bet Acca -
Keegan Bradley to better @ 10/11
Matsuyama to better J.Walker @ 10/11
Mickelson to better Rose @ Evs

Top 20 Finish

Geoff Ogilvy @ 9/2
Charl Schwartzel @ 9/2

2nd place for Ooosty
And £110 returned from Ogilvy and Charl so certainly a fruitful US Open for me
Profit runs into a 3rd week...

Onto this week

Travellers - Keegan Bradley (40/1), Graeme DeLaet (66/1), Brendon Todd (50/1) & Justin Thomas (40/1)

BMW - Nicolas Colsaerts (50/1), Matthew Fitzpatrick (66/1), Victor Dubuisson (80/1), Kiradech Aphibarnrat (80/1) & Thomas Pieters (150/1)

Goodluck all who play
 
Argh! Went to bed last night with Casey going into the playoff, hoping he would prevail but no joy - should have bet e/w I suppose! At least Delaet placed so I made my stake back, not been going to badly now for the past few weeks, I really ought to start picking my Fantasy team on the basis of my bets!

Once again , each way returns, means profit for a fourth week in succession.

Greenbriar

Cameron Tringale 60/1
Charles Howell 100/1
Louis Oosthuizen 33/1

Open De France

Gregory Bourdy 50/1
Victor Dubuisson 50/1
Kiradech Aphibarnrat 70/1
 
The Greenbrier is always a difficult tournament to call and the link between winners and low FedEx Cup Standings is really apparent. Makes sense as the number of tournaments left to assure full privileges for 2015/16 is becoming alarming for many who naturally are unlikely to get access to the Open Championship, Bridgestone and the PGA Championship.

I have included a form horse this week in Tony Finau. His price for a Maiden isn't great, but then again it's better than Kisner's or Delaet's. His ability to score heavily is irrefutable, and Old White TPC allows for inaccurate driving more than recent Par 70 set-ups. 40/1

Seung-yul Noh and Bo Van Pelt find themselves in lowly FEC/Money List positions where they need to keep churning results to earn full privileges. On a classical course, they look like decent bets to me at 70/1 and 90/1 respectively.
 
Cant argue with BIGD's form!! So i have gone with Howell and dubuison for the two events. Stuck them in an e/w double too at 5000/1+!
