I try to watch enough Euro so that I know who these guys are when they play over here, but I don't watch enough to ever actually win money.

Good luck this week.

I generally do better with Euro Tour than with PGA events. LOVE it when they play in Asia like the China Open because Golf Channel usually starts their coverage Wednesday evening around 9:00pm pacific time. in England this week BMW PGA coverage starts Thursday early morning @ 2:00am pacific and goes until 10:00am

my big "WTF ???" bet this week is Dunne over Lowry. OK so "Fat Bastard" Lowry got tied 6th last year @ Wentworth and was good late last season on the Euro Tour BUT didn't do anything when he came over to play PGA earlier this season as I listed with his best a tied 14th Houston Open while ex for a "brain fart" CUT @ Trophee Hassan the week after Spain, "Young Gun" Dunne has been a top ten player and was 3rd round leader of the Open de Espana before ending solo 2nd to Jon Rahm

 

[B.A.R.]

Good luck Rat...

 

[LeRinkRat]

was just reading sacker's BMW writeup on "that other site" and he has Branden Grace over "The Mole". it opened Grace -120 @ Westgate and is now even. he is -125 @ William-Hill. "The Mole" got solo 2nd here last year BUT has been flat lately with a CUT his last @ The Players an event where he got 6th last year. "Dis"-Grace tied 3rd last week @ Byron Nelson [-19] with a final round [-9] 62 coming in "hot". adding him to my tourney match plays (50/100) :shake:

 

[LeRinkRat]

well I'll be swizzled. Lucas Bjerregaard 100-1 was actually a last minute "after thought" bet when I saw his odds. 1st round leader [-7]. later players really had the advantage 1st round with an annoying cold drizzle rain the early tee times clearing in the afternoon. my only other closest "to win" Chris Paisley 100-1 [-4] T-8th BUT early in the tourney with Rory McIlroy and "The Matthew Mouse" Fitzpatrick both @ [-5]

THANK YOU sacker for pointing out "Dis"-Grace [-3] over "The Mole" [+6] with ANY luck "The Mole" will be a CUT after 2nd round. the ONE solid probable winner I have working after 1st round. I can NOT believe that "Yo Adrain" Otaegui is tied with Thomas "Salt" Pieters [+3]. HAD to be Otaegui's WORST round in his recent tourneys

think I made a BIG mistake with Casey [even] over Fleetwood [-2]. even though Casey has been playing decent it looked like his chronic back was acting up and watching the broadcast I could see him wince after shots. he could end up a WD

well out house mouse!!! I was SO excited when I thought "The Mole" was headed for a CUT Friday BUT it was his damn younger brother Edoardo that "blew up"!!! "The Mole" is 2nd round [-5] for tourney [-7] and a one shot lead over Branden "Dis"-Grace going into the weekend. 1-1-1 with 3 working on my 6 tourney match plays

Andy Sullivan -120 [-4/-5] over Tyrrell Hatton [+1/+2] CUT WIN
Paul Dunne -110 [+3/+2] CUT over Shane Lowry [-1/-4] (55/105) LOSE
Adrain Otaegui -120 [even+3] CUT vs Thomas Pieters [even/+3] CUT (60/110) "putch"

still working
Paul Casey even [-2/-2] vs Tommy Fleetwood [-6/-8] (50/100)
Branden Grace even [-3/-6] over Francesco Molinari [-5/-7] (50/100)
Alex Levy -120 [-4/-6] over Kiradech Aphibarnrat [-3/-7] (60/110)

Rory McIlroy KILLED it Friday with a [-7] for tourney [-12] and a three shot lead over Sam Horsfield. I just do NOT see Rory blowing the lead the last two days although someone COULD shoot a "bomber" like Alex Noren did final round last year. other notables "in range" Tommy Fleetwood [-8] Alex Noren [-7] Francesco Molinari [-7] and "A Fat Barn Rat" [-7]

REALLY disappointed in BOTH "Young Gun" Dunne AND "Yo Adrain" Otaegui BOTH were playing ezxcellent coming into the tourney. I guess you just NEVER KNOW with these "Pampered Poodles". surprised that Paul Casey is playing the weekend the way he looked first round with his back

Does Gros have it in him, Rat? Currently 3 shots off the lead, sitting in the T2 seat. I can't lie, I've been wanting to jump into this across-the-pond action and Gros +4000 is peaking my interest here.
***Note*** I have no clue when it comes to Euro Tour :flag:

Sebastien Gros BEST finish this season T-4th Tshwane Open in South Africa back in March and T-12th Open de Espana in April other than that he has been either a "bottom feeder" or CUT :nonofinger:

 

[LeRinkRat]

well after the 3rd round the ONLY remaining match play with a chance is of all people Paul Casey [-3] for tourney [-5] over Fleetwood who "blew up" Saturday [+5] for [-3]. NOT gonna count on THAT one. "Dis"-Grace four behind "The Mole" and Levy five behind "A Fat Barn Rat" looks like losers. NOT a good weekend of Euro Tour golf for "Papa Ratte" :golffrustrated:

 

[geauxgolfer]

Thanks for talking me down from Gros. :shake:
I had to take the Euro plunge though, so I grabbed a little Molinari action last night. Let’s see if he can hold on here.

 

[LeRinkRat]

GOOD call on "The Mole", geauxgolfer. WINNER with a [-4] for tourney [-17] :shake:

I got "beat like a baby seal" this weekend. ONLY winner of six match plays Andy Sullivan over Tyrrell Hatton with Paul Casey over Tommy Fleetwood and "Yo Adrain" Otaegui over Thomas "Salt" Pieters BOTH a "putch" so at least NOT a LOSS like the other three. freeking "Mole" shoots the lights out to beat Rory McIlroy by two and last years winner Alex Noren AND 100-1 shot Lucas Bjerregaard by three. on to the Italian Open next week which is another Rolex Series $7 million event. wonder WHAT "The Mole" odds will be in his home Open ??? probably WAY "no value" low opcorn:
