Weather is going to play a big part of the tournament this week. So wagering on an event that could be rain shortened or possibly even worse, may not be the brightest of ideas. But I cannot help but play against a certain golfer this week...

”I’m not a history buff, but I’ve never played good in the rain. It always frustrates me … just the water dripping and stuff and keeping my mind at ease. So it’s very difficult for me in the rain, but hopefully it rains enough, or it thunders enough, where we can postpone it to the next day, makes it easier for me"

"Water on the clubface, bro… water on the clubface. I got no chance!"

Both quotes from an SBNation article from last April which highlights Bubba's lack of enjoyment in playing in the rain.

Rahm -165 vs Bubba

Bryson D -150 vs Bubba

Both tournament match up plays. I will take #5 and #6 in the World golf rankings against a guy who sounds like he is defeated mentally before he even takes a swing in the rain.

1-2 -1.35 units YTD

Decided to take the last few weeks off after getting the wrong end of a multiple golf course tournament set up. I may add more but definitely on these two. Fade or follow best of luck
 
just bet three tourney match plays this week. could NOT get the match ups I wanted with "Ooster" he is -110 over "Dis" Grace who got solo 2nd in Phoenix in the final round in the rain [-15] and -110 over Sergio who has 5 Top 10 his last 6 on the Euro Tour. in fact with BJTrojan weather comment I went ahead and added Brander Grace 50-1 to my "to win" bets (10/510) ;)

Marc Leishman +105 over Tommy Fleetwood (50/102.50)
Matt Kuchar +110 over Tony Finau (50/105)
Si Woo Kim +115 over Martin Laird (44/94.60)

@ -165 and -150 seems like the book makers agree with you here. Good info RB.
 
god what a clusterfuck

this is why people make fun of the west coast when weather exists. I'm pissed it'd overcast and want a redo
 
For what it's worth, looks like light rain from late morning until 3-4 pm. Saturday and Sunday forecasts are clearing up... Can we please see Bubba play in a steady light rain for a few hours tomorrow???
 
Haha Kuchar doing all kinds of backpedaling now, glad that fraud got called out publicly. What a d-bag. Only trying to make it right because he got caught, and trust me I know that feeling...do right and quit being some wannabe nice guy tool. It will be respected.
 
That was the most unreal finish in golf betting for me of all time. Rahm doubles 17 and looks like a huge loss with Bubba birdie on the same hole. Bubba then four jacks 18 for a Rahm win and Bryson tie... Absolutely incredible... Never had a cigarette in all my life and I feel like I need one now

Reactions: KJ
I was in the same boat...first cursing Rahm for playing in the sand and 3 jacking 17. Then Bubba screws around on 18 green for 15 minutes and makes Riveria a winning week for me

I still can't believe it.... Note to self....Remember this the next time you want to bitch about a NCAA underdog blowing a cover in OT
