Round #1;

Patrick Reed +110 Over Rahm loser

Interesting.

Thoughts when you have time, thanks.

Very nice job this spring on golf.
See your post from the Discussion thread re last PGA at Kiawah. I see a similar type leaderboard with foreign/European Tour competitors. It would be ridiculous of me to argue that Finau is not a world class golfer. He has finished well in majors but also missed cuts. I am not "feeling it" with Tony.

Fair enough.
 
I see you have Stewart Cink as your first pick in the contest. I hope you're right -- I have him at 250/1.

I hope you're right about Smith too.
I made one small matchup play, and that's Smith +102 over Cantlay
 
Adding for Tourney

McIlroy -115 Over Bryson

Also added a little more $$ to my Leishman Over Sergio wager
 
0-2 Round #1

Round #2:

Cameron Smith -110 Over Berger

Lowry -135 Over Sergio

Well, I should have known better. I think the cut will be around -4. Berger going to make the cut by shooting 68-69. Cameron Smith has gone par-par but driving ball like a 10 handicap. If he does not find it soon, he will be gone.

Siwoo has played horribly and will miss the cut. Hopefully Smith makes cut and that will be a win on my largest wager
 
Round #2 went 1-1

Won one of my tourney bets Cameron Smith Over Siwoo

Pushed a tourney bet of Leishman Over Sergio, neither made the cut. Leishman was @+3 after 16 then finishes double bogey, bogey with a 3 putt.

2-3-1 so far
 
Round #3 Selections

Cam Davis -110 Over Steve Stricker

Woodland +112 Over C Conners

Tournament Wagers

Brooks to Win + 350

Brooks to finish 3rd or better -120
 
Agree with that Gary over Connors. Any thoughts on Willy Z over Bubba and Brooks over Grace? @bones
I stayed away from Bubba and Zalatoris. There is something to be said for a Major winner who can shape shots vs. youth & inexperience. But, I will not bet agst Zalatoris

I bet on Brooks to win the tourney and finish in top 3, so I think he beats Grace. I have enough $$ on Brooks now
 
Adding Round #3:

Rory -115 Over Jon Rahm
Well, wife is out of town and I can watch golf all day here where it is raining so added more action. I normally would not do this, so beware if you tail:

Adding Round #3

Westwood -120 Over Lewis

Bryson -160 Over Hoffman. I do think if the conditions stay this benign then Bryson has a big advantage with his length

Agree on Bryson - all of my eggs are in one basket with him today, as I took him in all three match ups that were available. Boom or bust for me today.
 
Round #3:
3-2
Won on Bryson, Westwood & Woodland. Lost on C Davis & Rory.

5-5-1 so far
 
Round #4:

Aaron Wise +152 Over V Hovland WIN

S Lowry -130 Over M Laird WIN

G Woodland +120 Over P Casey (Woodland had 9 pars and 6 birdies in Round #3. And then there were those three double bogey 6s) LOSE

With you on Woodland
 
Went 7-7 for the tourney on the bets made (a 2 unit win fwiw)

Was rooting against my wager on Koepka to win - so great for Phil to do it like he did!
