Long time guys. Hope everyone is well. I have taken some time away from gaming, but I do have a few selections this week and I see value in the following.
B1, Sherlock, et all...good to see you.
Back in time to give some perspective and add 1 play. First off, MSU, I think Rose is getting love at his odds of 35-1 (depending on your store) because the man doesn't hole enough putts. He is a major champion though and maybe worth a value look at that number. Here is a quick recap w explanation of my "less chalky, value" plays:
65-1 Fowler - good number for a guy who has recently found his form after a retooling in the offseason w Butch Harmon.
70-1 Cabrera - recently rehabbed since late last year when he was unsure he could play much this season and feeling good about his swing with no pain. Good touch for the big fella who never gets respect from the odds men which is good for value player. Two time major winner including at this event. Not to mention he finished second last year losing in a playoff to eventual champ.
95-1 Ryan Moore - careful putter, high GIR and high ball flight iron player is a good recipe for success here. Not a shock...but a little shock if he wins
45-1 Harris English -add - first time participant in very good form with two wins in less than a calendar year. Even though he is here for first time as a pro, this poised young stud got many reps here in his day as a Georgia Bulldog.
I got the opportunity to get in a masters pool this year for the first time this year.. I Like this .. not sure exactly how its set up. or the complete rules ...... but you pic 1 golfer out of 8 different groups . seems they are set up with odds... so i did pic phil M but that meant i couldnt pick a lot of other names I wanted. or liked & they are not in the other groups. groups of 10.. I did pick fowler ... like him... in his group stricker only guy better favorite.
add up your 8 guys total & you can drop the last guys worst scores...for i gotta check the rules.lol.. 2 rounds?
lowest total wins..
Has anybody ever played in a masters pool? seems there is a decent number in.. at least 200... at 50. maybe can grow at other majors...
Guys, I'm going to go with a couple of the golfers that you mentioned.
Bear, I like your Harris English write up and I'm going to give him some action.
BIV2, Justin Rose may have the advantage today over a somewhat hurting Phil Mickelson.
Here are a couple of plays for the first day's afternoon rounds.
1st ROUND
--------------
MARC LEISHMAN .................. +120 OVER HUNTER MAHAN
JUSTIN ROSE ........................ +105 OVER PHIL MICKELSON
HARRIS ENGLISH .................. +100 OVER LEE WESTWOOD
BIV2, Zach better right the ship real soon or he's going to be going down.
Half way home and Bubba Watson has a nice 3 stroke lead.
But it's only half way and they still have a lot of golf to play.
Right now there are 13 golfers in red figures and anyone can pop out of the pack to put on a charge.
Here are a couple of parlays for the this afternoon rounds.
PARLAY
----------
JIMMY WALKER ..................... -115 OVER JIM FURYK
THOMAS BJORN .................... -130 OVER JASON BLIXT
1 UNIT ----------> 2.31
PARLAY
----------
ADAM SCOTT .......................... -140 OVER JORDAN SPIETH
BUBBA WATSON ..................... -160 OVER JOHN SENDEN
There are 15 golfers within 5 strokes of the lead.
Today's final round is going to be a SHOOTOUT!
I'm just going to sit and watch my guy, Bubba, and see if he can pull this one out.
Whoever wins today will have earned it!
