Zurich Classic

[gps_3]

Team event in NOLA this week. Think they are actually supposed to have 4 days of good weather for the first time ever, but that can and likely will change day to day. Not sure if I'll get involved in the matchups, want to see what it looks like. One and done strategy is find a stud you want to back, then take his less acclaimed teammate. I took Bud Cauley last year when he was paired with JT, and may do the same this year. Other possibilities are Ryan Palmer (Spieth) Rafa Cabrera-Bello (Sergio), Ryan Ruffels (Jason Day), Wesley Bryan (Rahm), Scott Piercy (Horschel), and multiple others. Can afford to take a shot on a dark horse since the prize money is split evenly between the teammates.

Great idea as far as strategy.

I might avoid anything Sergio though.

Another interesting team is Sean O'Hair and Jimmy Walker. They finished 2nd and 4th last week at Valero. Can't ask for better form coming in

YES that makes SENSE. they are tourney "to win" 25-1 @ Westgate Las Vegas. also agree with staying OFF Sergio Garcia. two CUTS in a row and looked aggravated playing last week in San Antonio. GUESS WHO are +115 in a match play vs Cabrera-Bello/Garcia @ William-Hill ??? O'Hair/Walker

 

[LeRinkRat]

and ANOTHER reason to chance O'Hair/Walker +115 over Cabrera-Bello/Garcia. Cabrera-Bello was in embarrassing CUT at his home Open de Espana as 2nd favorite to Jon Rahm his last tourney. PRESS!!! :shake:

Well, in true degenerate fashion, I couldn't stay away. Took these 3:

Horschel/Piercy +110 vs Dufner/Perez
Walker/OHair +120 vs Sergio/Rafa
JT/Cauley +130 vs Rose/Stenson

 

[B.A.R.]

All plus money, I think you can get 2-1 no problem.

that was exactly my thinking

Going to go with Ryan Ruffels in one and done. He's paired w/ Jason Day. Last year, Ruffels was paired with Kyle Stanley and they had 3 great rounds offset by a 77 in alternate shot. Day has a couple of top 5s on this course, though he MC last year paired with Rickie. Hoping being paired with a young Aussie will elevate his game.

So much for the good weather forecast...

Well, that sucks.

 

[gps_3]

Course must be soft and set up easy. We might see some sub-60 rounds today. Hopefully Day is feeling it. Shooting 70+ today is going to be hard to overcome

 

[B.A.R.]

Sean and Jimmy off to a good start...

 

[gps_3]

I assume most pairs will shoot low scores in best ball. Alt shot can have some huge variances in scoring.

 

[LeRinkRat]

1st round scores O'Hair/Walker +115 [-8] over Cabrera-Bello/Garcia [-5] :shake:

 

[geauxgolfer]

Too easy...nice hit!

 

[LeRinkRat]

2nd round (bet/return)

Horschel/Piercy +140 over Cabrera-Bello/Garcia (36/86.40)

Horschel/Piercy +155 defeated Cabrera-Bello/Garcia [-7/-5] 1st round so will chance them Friday for the plus money price

 

[B.A.R.]

Good luck!

lmao

 

[LeRinkRat]

YES!!! welcome geauxgolfer!!! I think you will find this site superior to that "other place" :shake:

 

[LeRinkRat]

well got a "putch" on the 2nd round Horschel/Piercy +140 over Cabrera-Bello/Garcia bet [+1/+1] BUT Cabrera-Bello/Garcia [+1] for tourney [-4] a CUT so get the WIN with the tourney O'Hair/Walker +115 bet with their 2nd round [+1] for [-7]

other somewhat "surprise" CUTS Spieth/Palmer [-4] last years winners Blixt/Smith [-3] and Bryn/Rahm [-3]

 

[B.A.R.]

Great guys on the +130 Sean Walker play.... hit that pretty big...

 

[gps_3]

All plus money, I think you can get 2-1 no problem.

2-1 it is. A little closer than I would have liked, but it counts

 

[B.A.R.]

Good work

Such a strange event, didn't play anything but certainly probably would have lost. Well done gps
