Honda Classic

[gps_3]

The Honda is the tournament where my one and done pool begins, and will run until the Tour Championship. So in addition to the normal tournament wagering, I'm interested in discussing the one and done aspect moving forward as well.

Pretty good field, tough track, and Tiger in the field. Should be a good watch

 

[KJ]

Oh the switch from WC to EC always tough for me to gauge....putting so different

:shake:

Would be shocked if Tiger makes the cut here.

All those wayward shots into the trees at Riviera will be in the water at this tournament. Potential for some big numbers

[KJ]

That's early as all fuck

 

[B.A.R.]

Actually perfect for your wake up from nap.

 

[KJ]

EST is basically European

 

[gps_3]

Right now, I'm looking at taking Tyrell Hatton in my one and done. He's playing well, came in 4th here last year, and isn't one of the marquee names, so I don't think he'll have a ton of people picking him in the pool. Rickie, Rory, and JT figure to be the most popular picks, but I feel fine saving them for a better tournament down the road.

As for the matchups, will probably look to fade Tiger. Would love to get someone at + odds against him, but the books aren't stupid

 

[KJ]

I highly doubt Tiger plays like shit, he's been in FLA forever and knows how this works. Guessing it's less driver and more control. Fading him here doesn't seem smart. Not like I think he plays well but odds won't be favorable to him

 

[ProV1Colt]

I have a little interest McDowell, Johnny Vegas, Woodland and Holmes.
Sergio always seems to play good here.

 

[gps_3]

On matchups, I took:

Knox +115 over Berger
McDowell +120 over Hadley

 

[gps_3]

Added Pieters +105 vs Kizzire. Banking on Kizzire having issues with the huge galleries that will be following his group the first 2 days

 

[ProV1Colt]

On matchups, I took:

Knox +115 over Berger
McDowell +120 over Hadley

Like that Knox pick. I have been eyeing him as well. He seems to have an eye for this course

If I could get money into 5 dimes i would take Palmer -127 over woods. I dont care what tiger hits off the tee, if the wind is blowing he is going to struggle.

I went ahead and took it. it's -140 for me @ BOL. Even though I will be rooting for Tiger to play the weekend.

Tourney Plays
(Ryan Theme)
Palmer -140 over Tiger
Moore -120 over Stallings

Also grabbed Rd1 plays:

McDowell -110 over V.Taylor
Hatton -150 over Grillon
Dufner -120 over Lowery

 

[gps_3]

Shaky first drive for Tiger, but saved par, then birdies the next hole. Used driving iron, hit it about 300. I know it's easy for me to say, but maybe Woods should keep that driver in the garage

 

[gps_3]

-2 through 4 holes. I'm taking the rest of the morning off

 

[KJ]

I can honestly say I've never driven the ball behind a lemonade stand

 

[B.A.R.]

-1 through ten. Looks like he's hit 5/8 fairways and half the greens. Eh...

 

[B.A.R.]

What about the vodka/lemonade stand?

 

[KJ]

What about the vodka/lemonade stand?

Well that was intentional

 

[gps_3]

-1 through ten. Looks like he's hit 5/8 fairways and half the greens. Eh...

One of those missed fairways was by about a foot. Think he was 1/3 with the driver, 3/4 with less than that and really 4/4

 

[KJ]

Bunker to bunker?

F'n LPGA on now wtf....let the big Cat Eat on live tv

 

[KJ]

Hmm 14 feet for par

 

[KJ]

Had to chunk his chip

 

[KJ]

Uh oh

 

[B.A.R.]

Double?

 

[B.A.R.]

Gotcha

 

[KJ]

The drama with this Cat is great...double a par 5 and watch him stuff it on the next hole from a buck out

 

[B.A.R.]

Well, birdie bounce back. Not bad.

 

[B.A.R.]

Hardest part of course coming up(yes I know he already played bear trap) .

 

[KJ]

Why is Tiger having to answer questions about school shootings?

Leave that to the professionals

 

[B.A.R.]

Totally stealing this... And I will have plenty of opportunities to do it this year .. https://twitter.com/CapnBcox89/status/966716952977788929

 

[KJ]

I'd lay up

 

[B.A.R.]

Palmer 4 over. Ya'll need a Tiger blow-up tomorrow or Ryan to get inside that cut line.

 

[ProV1Colt]

-2 through 4 holes. I'm taking the rest of the morning off

Haha I took today off to watch
Now he will prob blow up
I took him -105 over Sneds for Rd2

 

[ProV1Colt]

Palmer 4 over. Ya'll need a Tiger blow-up tomorrow or Ryan to get inside that cut line.

I'll gladly lose that bet if Tiger can play on the weekend. In fact I probably should play Sneds today to make sure Tiger plays the weekend

 

[KJ]

I realize it isn't even 7am there but has he teed off yet?

 

[gps_3]

He tees off at 12:35 EST

 

[gps_3]

Glad I didn’t take Palmer. Think it’s safe to say Knox over Berger is DOA. Other 2 are in decent shape. Maybe Berger will DQ or WD

 

[KJ]

Forgot it's Florida now, complete change of time from WC swing. Still adjusting.

It's 2 hours for you Mountain Man

 

[KJ]

It's 2 hours for you Mountain Man

Is that in dog years?

 

[B.A.R.]

Perhaps.

 

[KJ]

I've got LPGA on, that's not gonna work

 

[B.A.R.]

You're lost again.

 

[KJ]

Well I've stalled out at "Golf Channel" so help me out here

 

[ProV1Colt]

LPGA for me too until noon
