Had to be the bet of the tournament. Not sure he has it in him to complete a major win though as his game seems to disappear at the weekends.

Agreed. I'd ruled him out of the betting as thought there was better value elsewhere. Saw KJT's post and checked - couldn't believe 25/1 were the odds! He has led the previous 2 majors after Round 1! I would have had him as favourite! Just wish I'd deposited again rather than chucked on the free bet!

I only got 22's on him but had a decent wager so well chuffed. Was a bit worried when Lingmerth was level with 3 to play but he then made a hash of a short par putt. Also had Scott Piercy at 125's and he wasn't far away.
 
I've done my dough on Mcilroy so I backed Kaymer at 16's and Billy Horschel last night whilst under the influence of Hendricks Gin :whistle:
 
Wyndham Championship

Sedgefield CC seems to favour those who can drive the ball over 300 yards (that's a 290 average driver so Top 90 in the DD rankings), but who can strategically keep the ball in-play. Naturally accurate approach shots to quite large (for a short Par 70) Champion Bermuda greens are required to illicit enough birdie opportunities to then convert.

The front-9 at Sedgefield is where the serious scoring is required, whereas 10-12, the 14th and 18th are tough golf holes. Worth noting for those betting In-play. With +40mm of rain yesterday the course is going to be sloppy, favouring slightly longer guys and with little roll on the fairways inaccurate drivers will benefit. As previously stated, non PGA winners often get a 'leg-up' here and over the past 3 seasons players lower down the FedEx Cup standings have taken the win. Garcia, Reed and Villegas are hard to compare, but all love putting on Bermuda. So my picks:

Non-Winners - Justin Thomas 28/1 - Will Wilcox 60/1
Proven Winners - Carl Pettersson 66/1, Boo Weekley & Johnson Wagner both 100/1

With The Barclays moving to Plainfield Country Club expect a slightly different test to the one we saw here in 2011. The course has changed from a 6,900 yard Par 71, to a +7,000 yard Par 70 for a start, with the easiest Par 5 from 2011, reverting to a 495 yard Par 4. The closing hole has been extended from a sub 300 yard Par 4 (can you believe that!) to just under 400 yards. All of this is pretty academic really as the course will still play as an incredibly short par 70, with wide fairways and very large greens; but the real-key is that the course will play firm and fast. With tough rough promised, shots from off the fairway should carry more of a penalty than we often see on the PGA Tour and certainly more than we saw in 2011.

Classy sorts win this tournament, and it's well worth investing in players who can win up-state. Henrik Stenson sticks-out like a sore thumb at 28/1, especially as he sits in the 40s in the FEC standings. From tee-to-green he has no peer for consistency right now and the bent/poa greens will hold no fears.

Bill Haas is another I like the look of at 66/1 and the 6-time PGA Tour winner has a decent record on poa annua. He undoubtedly will need to earn a place in his father's team for the President's Cup (can you imagine if he was a Captain's Pick) so it's up to him across New York and Boston in the next 2 weeks.

I also like Russell Henley(80/1), Marc Leishman (125/1) and Kevin Na (140/1) with Na being an excellent Top 10 shout as well (12/1) this week.

12/1 on Na in the Top 10 seems an excellent bet!

Surprised you didn't go with Pieters this week. You normally seem to have a bet on him most weeks. Fitz went close as well.
