Speith and Im are definite contenders, Reed is at his biggest price for a long time,he has had a few issues of late mainly in the head.

Midnight Caller Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 A steady start by my players after the first rounds. Frustratingly my shortlisted players started better.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Plenty of tournaments this week. USA: Match play doesn't really interest me ,but both Scheffler and Horschel are strong match play players and good value, small £ to win tournament. Qatar Masters: Smith - Harding - Pepperell Big value Valimaki and Canizares Corales Puntacana: Lashley - Lipsky - Rai Those looking for multi runners US LPGA: Ko JY - Kang - Hataoka Korn Ferry: An Joburg Open : Value= Hewson My £1 ew multi/yankee for the week: Scheffler - Harding - Lashley - Ko JY Acca= 150k Yankee= max 91k 😁 Good luck Edited March 23, 2022 by Midnight Caller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Poor start from the boys in Qatar. Others holding their own through the first round. Dark horse for the day is J C Ritchie, who tees off for his 2nd round in half hour playing the Challenge Tour in SA. Currently 6 shots off the pace.

Midnight Caller Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Outside the betting plan, we need Larrazabel to win in Qatar to bring a couple of combos into play.Other players all in with a chance going into their final rounds.🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hoping to finish this good month on a high! I rate Mcllroy and Ko JY (LPGA) top chances this week, but those skinny odds aren't for me on the outright, they will definitely be in the multi assault. USA: Ancer 22/1- playing his home course and showing some solid form by taking some good scalps in the matchplay last week. Riley 66/1- have taken this guy a few times on the Korn Ferry Tour, and has now played his way into the PGA. Highly talent and won here 2020 on the KFT. He is also 11/2 T10. Shortlist Hadwin, Kirk and obviously Mcllroy. Big value Shortlist Hojgaard, Hoffman, Glover. Roughie is the Texan based Kiwi Danny Lee @175/1 LPGA: Going for a little value with Thitikul 20/1 and Tavatanakit 22/1. Shortlist obviously Ko JY, Lee M , L Ko Only other single is in SA Championship, where I'm sticking with Alice Hewson 16/1 who I've been tracking and has won here 2 years ago on her first start as a Pro. Outside the betting plan I will be having a few muiltis. This week's RP ew muilti/yankee: Muilti: Mcllroy Ko JY Harrington Ritchie Yankee: Riley Thitikul Jimenez Hewson Hoping these help,Good luck Masters next week, come in VC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC! Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Great stuff MC good luck with those bets My golf investments this week Iv'e taken Corey Conners to beat A Ancer in a H2H little concerned now you've picked him and Lydia to beat Sexy Lexi Iv'e also entered a team in Draftstars for the Valero Open Yeah the Masters next week, can't wait Iv'e put a few $$$ aside to squander on a shitload of different outcomes #1 Cam Smith has had a nice freshen up with his family going over to visit him he's just going from strength to strength, T10th last year and T2nd the year before destroyed Kapalua earlier in the year, and a last start winner #2 Xander Schuaffele is always knocking on the door at Augusta, one day he's gonna knock that door down #3 Colin Morikawa has the game somehow I envisage him up there this year, this could well be his year I will see how Corey Conners plays this week he played well at Augusta last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Great VC! Ancer a late scratching, and with the way the draw has panned out Conners is a strong contender for the title this weekend. Those wanting to playing the 2nd Rnd leader/ top score of the 2nd Rnd, early tee offs definitely have the advantage, with winds getting up in the afternoon. Suggest one or two from.. Rai Spaun Norlander Glover Conners Riley🤞Bland Streelman Hoffman On the Champions Tour, Scott Parel looks over the odds for a T10 finish @ 3.40 Review from the first rounds, sees my runners all start OK, with the exception of Hewsons 2nd round +5, but hoping she can recover over the last two rounds for some place money. Some small muiltis travelling well at this early stage,but a long way to go yet! Call security!! VC, you have been reading my notes😁.I am already on stable cash cow Smithy 2pts ew@25/1 and would agree he playing the season brilliantly picking tournaments he wants to play, and I'm expecting a big effort come The Masters. With you re Morikawa, Schauffele is talented but just have my reservations about his killer instinct in the big tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 US Masters @ Augusta One of the great tournaments each year. I've put my bets on (Bet 365) 4 Units Sungjae Im @ 67 Patrick Reed @ 81 Jordan Speith @ 23 (awful odds) Francesco Molinari @ 201 Well that's my bets , I see Tiger is @ 46 and I wish him well , but surely his odds should be 500/1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having trouble getting rid of my last player off the gravy train. Being the first major, I will try and put together a more comprehensive breakdown/ pro and cons for some of the players in contention. Anyone with questions about any players, I'm more than happy to give my 10 cents worth on their chances. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Woods has bulked up top to negate some of the leg weakness, but I seriously doubt he will find the grit to walk the course on that leg over 4 rounds . And I don't think he will have the distance because of those infirmity's in these power game days. He used to score on the par 5,s because of his distance, and zeroed in on that ability. Give him his due though, best I have seen in my lifetime and was an inspiration for me to get down to single figures . Hope he does well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) The green jacket and $11.5 m to play for in the first major of the year. Let's start with the T10 ranked players in the world. Scheffler- Has really found his groove in 2022,with three wins and two T20 finishes. Only two Masters starts for two T20 finishes. Has the temperament to win . Rahm- Five T20 finishes this season,T10 finishes in his last four outings at Augusta,Shot a 66 in the first round last year.Could lose this in his head. Morikawa- three T20 this season, 44 and 18 in his only two starts here Contender. Hovland- 32-21 from two Masters starts,a more complete player this year.In solid form and a huge talent. Cantlay- Four T10 finishes this year, two T20 finishes here from four starts. One I am happy to leave out. Smith- Two wins and a fourth from only five starts this year.Three T10 finishes from five starts at Augusta. Rested and primed for the weekend. Thomas- Five T20 finishes this year, Masters record is solid, is dangerous but a little short in the market for me. Johnson- Three T10 finishes this year tells me he is getting back to the form of old. Four T10 finishes here and is right in this. Mcllroy- Four T20 finishes this year and Four T10 finishes here. The green jacket seems to allude him, he is always a chance but last weeks miss cut is a negative leading into a major. Schauffele- Five T20 finishes this year, has been placed on a couple of occasions here.A contender but needs to find that killer instinct this year. Back with my thoughts, ew runners and specials a little later. Edited April 7, 2022 by Midnight Caller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's taking a leaf out of DeChambeau's book... let's see if it works 🙂 Woods ace in the pocket has always been his eye and timing, you don't need to be big to hit long, look at Will Gordon, but it may take a while to come back as I think that is also about confidence. Good fortunes to him 🙂 Edited April 7, 2022 by Dancing Show 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 This is how I see the first major of the year. I am going in slightly heavy handed, but hey its The Masters! Most bookies paying 10 places ew. The headliner for me is Smith, I keep coming back to the trough with him, but he has been good winner for me and his form has been solid this year. He comes into this year's Masters fresher than some and I think come Sunday he will be contending. Smith @25/1 ew 2pts Scheffler is my second selection. You can't argue the form he is in and with Masters winning caddie Ted Scott on the bag, and his cool temperament, fulls me with confidence. Scheffler @25/ ew 1pt Johnson is next off the rank,the former #1 is working his way back into form and what has caught my eye is the form starting back at the Ryder Cup where he won all five matches.His form since has been progressive and Augusta form is a plus with the course playing a little longer now. Johnson @20/1 ew 1pt Final selection was really tough, but in the end I went with Zalatoris because of the price. Zalatoris @40/1 ew 1/2pt. Ew runners who have good place money include... Leishman 70/1 Rose 80/1 Pieters 125/1 McIntyre 125/1 Straka 225/1 Other interesting markets: Matsuyama to miss cut. Neck and back injuries. Top debutant, Burns is all the rage but at 14/1 Straka is the one for me and has had a solid 2022. T30 market Straka Good luck, any questions on other players, I'm more than happy to give my thoughts. I'm hoping the Scheff can cook up a feast of Aussie mullet with a Dustin of gold.😉 Come in VC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC! Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Some very nice picks there MC The greens are going to be soft this morning so, first round leader I'm thinking early starters, the wind is going to be at its strongest Friday afternoon, which makes me think the leader after round 2 will be a late starter on Thursday early tee off Friday. Not overly rapt with DeChambeau in the same group as Smith and Casey, he doesn't play Augusta that well I think best finish was T21st, and can be a slow player, he is capable of frustrating his playing partners no end and at 80% fit I will be looking to take him on in the H2H departments I always look for strong 3 ball line ups as I tend to think they drag one another along and looking at the 3 ball groupings I thought the late grouping of Spieth Hovland and Schauffele was a good one as is the Cantlay Rahm and Zalatoris at a longer price the 3 ball of Westwood Conners and Henley looks a good one Iv'e taken Cameron Smith to beat Justin Thomas in H2H incidentally Justin Thomas is Betfairs pick to win the tournament, I'm not a big fan of his 3 ball as you said Matsuyama may struggle, unfortunate as he plays Augusta really well is defending champ won as leading amateur back in the day I entered a few teams in draftstars and funnily enough I have included a few of your longer shots in my team ie Straka Rose Leishman is Paul Gows tip he is another who plays well at Augusta, all the best with your bets MC we have a couple of channels on fox one that shows Amen corner and the other that shows holes 15 and 16 and another channel that shows selected groups for the 18 holes, so I'm gonna be busy Bring it on!!!

How about Herbert to win his 3 ball ? Yeah he’s probably the value in that 3 ball, Shamus looked like he was in for a big year early on after two rounds at Pebble Beach I was thinking by how far, Patrick Reed struggling since his sickness, Lucas should probably be close to favourite in that 3 ball yet we find him clear 3rd pick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
