For Colonial, guys on my radar, for one and done at least: Dufner, Xander, Adam Scott, Schwartzel, Cantlay and ZJ. Zach used to be auto pick here, going 9, 1, 4, 1, 3 from 09-13, but has fallen off since
 
four more "tack ons" for BMW PGA

Andy "Beef" Johnston 50-1. T-12th Open de Espana [-13] 2nd Indian Open [-11] (playoff Matt Wallace) T12th Oman [-8]

George Coetzee 80-1. CUT Trophee Hassan T-4th Open de Espana [-16] WIN Tshwane Open [-18] T-8th Qatar [-14]

Jeunghun Wang 80-1 T-7th China Open [-4] T- 13th Trophee Hassan [-2]

normally I would chance my pet ChiCom Hao Tong Li 60-1, and "Young Guns" Dylan Frittelli 60-1 and Julian Suri 80-1, BUT they really have NOT done much lately and not much "value" with their odds ALSO 13 bets probably already "overdoing" it this week :confused:
 
Course history and custom stats models are pointing to a nice value in Sean O'Hair. Currently 175/1

T12 @ Valspar
T7 @ API
T2 @ Valero

T2 @ Colonial(2017)
T34 @ Colonial(2016)

Ryan Armour 250-1 (2/502) WIN Sanderson [-19]
 
How will Adam Scott do with a little extra US Open motivation? I know I know...the putting. BUT he seems so dialed in lately.

Part of me wants to play him across the board. Outright, Top everything and matchups.

I have my eye on Noren and Lowry this week @ BMW PGA. Best of luck to you.
 
Matchups for Colonial:

Walker +125 vs Cantlay
Dufner -105 vs Wise
Scott +115 vs Cantlay
ZJ EV vs Kuchar
Palmer +115 vs Henley

May have some for Euro event

He adjusted his putting stroke, and has finished 11th and 9th the last 2 tournaments. Looks like the new approach is working for him.

seems to be a LOT of people picking Adam Scott this week including people I respect like Andy and geauxgolfer, so I "tacked on" a "to win" on him 28-1 @ Cantor Gaming (18/522) :shake:
 
god dammit!!! the one time I do NOT bet Jhonatthan Vegas 150-1, "Big Jhon" KILLS it 1st round [-6] meanwhile Nick Watney an opening [+9]. did he get attacked by angry squirrels ??? :golffrustrated:
 
Fucking Kevin Na.
I had Charley Hoffman for FRL.

Haven't seen any coverage yet, does anyone know why he got a free drop on his last shot.
And what would you put the odds at for him to actually make that shot.

Second shot flew the green and came to rest against a grandstand. He got the ol' TIO(Temporary Immovable Obstruction) free drop.
 
I believe I might be the king of second place when it comes to FRL.
I did "win" at The Players, but it was a 6-way tie!

Second round: Hadwin over Haas
Not in love with it, and it's a bit juicy, -130
 
3Ball
Golf PGA 2nd Rnd 3 Balls Rahm/DeChambeau/Fowler - Bryson DeChambeau +253*
Golf PGA 2nd Rnd 3 Balls Simpson/Koepka/Scott - Brooks Koepka +206*

To Win
Also adding Beau Hossler +1400

:cheers3:
 
So, Rory is having himself a day at the BMW...7 under through 16 at -12 overall.

Rory McIlroy KILLED it 2nd round with a [-7] for tourney [-12] and a three shot lead over Sam Horsfield. Tommy Fleetwood [-6] for [-8], last year winner Alex Noren [-4] for [-7]. "The Mole" Francesco Molinari [-5] for [-7] and "A Fat Barn Rat" [-3] for [-7] all "in range" BUT it looks like Rory is BACK!!!
 
Come on Duff Man!

:toilet2:
 
So anyway, Duff 3-putts from 15 feet on 8, and then on 9 he drains one for birdie from 33 feet.

Go Duff Go!

I'll refrain from using any more smilies.

I could not find one tournament match up I liked this week thus no plays for me for the full tourney. But I like three Saturday match ups at Forth Worth:

Dahmen -110 vs Ancer
Poston -135 vs Fathauer
Armour +115 vs Kokrak

Leaned to V Taylor -125 s Martin and Silverman +165 vs English but decided to throw those two out.

Without going into great detail, I am fading Kokrak and Fathauer and I like Dahmen and Poston quite a bit. I think they have potential to be very useful players. Armour has had a break out year for him and hopefully he can play strong into the weekend...

Fade or follow best of luck guys
 
My book had no 3ball lines today :mad:

Edit: oh duh! They aren’t going off in 3s today. :p

Hossler +1400 (-5)
English +12500 (-5)
Bryson +3300 (-5)
Kirk +10000 (-3)
Walker +2500 (-2)

Alive, but gonna need some help from Rosey today.
 
Low scores out there today... It'll be interesting to see if Rose or Grillo can separate from the field... Or it could just be another crazy Sunday on the PGA tour...
 
Rory can't finish today. You feel like a huge breakthrough for months is coming...

Ya the freeking "Mole" Francesco Molinari WINS the BMW PGA with a final round [-4] for [-17] two up on Rory McIlroy and three on both last year winner Alex Noren and 100-1 shot Lucas Bjerregaard. "Mole" had been a CUT his previous tourney at The Players. GO FIGURE!!! :(
 
Good GOD, Justin Rose!!! back in his late Euro Tour season form with a final [-6] for tourney [-20] three shot WIN over Brooks Koepka!!! :golffrustrated:
