End of the season time when just the top 30 golfers compete for the prize.
Makes a change from the usual format of 155 plus golfers.
This is a good time for them each way bets,though once again some firms are being greedy going one fifth of the odds the first 4 instead of one quarter ,so check the firms place tems before betting.
No cut so at least you will get 4 days on your selection.
Do you take Woods on this week after his recent 8 stoke win,11/10 is the blackprint high street price ,2.36 with betfair,its a tough one.
Fancies ,thoughts etc please?
So John Senden who crept into 30th place ahead of Poulter the show pony thanks to the capitulation of Snedeker will walk away with $295,000 regardless of how poor he does this week well assuming he doesn't get disqualified

Tiger Woods will do me in this.
Odds against? Thank you very much.

I've gone for Donald & Watney in the market without Woods - My stakes aren't big enough to bet on Woods at 11/10.

Nor are mine really, but doubling money in 4 days appeals to me

Small each way on Heath Slocum, 100-1 and a modicum of recent form plus a win on Stricker at 15s. Stricker has been performing very well over the last few years but does not seem to receive the press lesser performers get.

W/O Woods have done ew
Watney @ 33/1
Leischmann @ 35/1
Perry @ 40/1 - don't fancy Perry that much but price seems too big.
And a fun bet on
Jerry Kelly @ 16/1 to come LAST - can I pick a loser?

Harrington ,one behind Woods in joint second place ,currently 3.25 on the betfair without Woods market ,at the half way stage.

Woods has birded all 4 par 5 so far.
Harrington had 3 pars and a bogey.
Tiger always makes the 5's pay, could have eagled one yesterday as well.
Good there's only 1 in it though, Tiger 3 or 4 ahead at half way may have got very boring. Hopefully Padraig can hang in and keep the dreaded big number of the card unlike Cink and Mickleson who would be in great poistions without those quad bogeys

Pleased with Perry & Watney so far.
Kelly needs a couple of stinking rounds which he is capable of!!

If ever there was a result that matches the saying ,form is tempory ,class is permanent it is this one Mickelson by three shots.

This is going to look like shocking after timing but actually put a small stake on Mickelson at 40s half way through round 3 when it was clear that my main 2 picks were going to do naff all.
Mickelson was quality yesterday. He must be thinking roll on next season. Hopefully he'll still be a backable price next time out.
Shocking luck with Perry awaywardlad. It seems that he just can't play with Tiger on a Sunday!

I would be astonished if awaywardlad never laid off at some point for a very healty profit as he went down to as low as 1.25.
I made a nice profit on Els(after timing i know) for the same market just on Friday alone. He was 60.0 after the first round for which i had £30 to win w/o woods, by the end of the friday when he had been only one shot behind woods i had in total laid £450 @ between 3.5-4.0.
This is why i keep saying Betfair is the only way to bet on Golf because there are just so many oppotunities over 4 days to dip in and out.

Thanks - Perry somehow managed to finish T4 and as it was 1/4 ew 1,2,3,4, w/o Tiger I managed a small profit on the event.I think Leftie is a deserving winner after all the year he's had.
