Golf - Byron Nelson Rd 3

Market after rd 3.

$3.40 S Garcia
$6.00 R Palmer
$8.00 G Woodland
$10 M Kuchar
$16 N Watney
$21 D Johnston, V Singh
$26 A Atwal
$31 J Rollins, R Imada
$34 J Overton, B Wetterich

Garcia, Singh and Wetterich are all good results whilst Woodland will be a huge result having backed him pre.

Course is apparantly going to play even tougher tomorrow with strong winds expected once again and the pins in final day positions. Woodland really appeals from this position. Big hitters will be advantaged given the conditions and being mentally tough will also be an asset.

On another note, its great to see a course on the US tour actually playing tough. Makes for great viewing and an interesting leader board.

Golf - Byron Nelson Rd 2

My markets after Rd 2

$2.05 S Garcia
$7.00 R Palmer
$9.00 N Watney
$17.00 T Petrovic
$21.00 J Teater, K Bradley
$34.00 R Imada, C Riley
$41.00 S Piercey

Really keen on Garcia from here. He was my top pick pre tournament and is tracking nicely for this. Competition behind him isn't much, he needs to win and course is turning out not to be a putting event.

Get long at the $2.80.

Golf - Byron Nelson

Want to be on the big hitters and the two I'll be on initially are Gary Woodland and Robert Garrigus..

Also think Sergio is not completely out of it here too as he needs a good performance to qualify for the British Open. His game has been very good this year withh only his putting letting him down. However he may be able to get away with not putting so well here this week.

Will have more in depth market updates after the completion of each round.

Golf - Players Championship

My market pre tournament.

$22 - F Molinari
$24 - T Clark
$29 - M Kaymer
$32 - H Mahan, J Furyk, L Donald
$33 - T Woods, B Crane
$34 - N Watney, R Allenby
$39 - P Mickelson, M Kuchar, D Toms
$40 - S Garcia
$42 - R Fowler
$45 - B Watson, P Harrington
$47 - C Shwartzel, A Scott, I Poulter
$50 - S Stricker, S Verplank

Have had minor bets on Molinari & Clark @ $85 and $160 respectively to win. However the major bets have been in the T25 market with Clark an astounding (to me anyway) $5.50 at Sportsbet. I made sure I got a piece of that. The best I could get for Molinari was $3.25.

Good luck all.

Wells Fargo - 4th Round

My market after 3rd round

$2.70 J Byrd
$4.80 P Perez
$8.00 S Cink, L Glover
$21 B Haas
$24 K Na, A Romero, B Davis

No real overs there so am going to leave it alone for the moment. Have got Perez and Glover going for okay results and even if they fail the B Davis top 25 bet pre covers me nicely.

Wrap Up:
Have been blessed with playoffs this year with Byrd, Woodland & now Glover all winning and giving me an optimal result.

Turned out to be a good event for me with Brian Davis easily filling a top 25 finish at the nice odds of $6.00.

The T25 bets are really worth their weight in gold.

Wells Fargo 3rd Round

My market after 2nd round. Value runners in green.

$4.40 P Perez
$7.00 B Haas, P Mickelson
$8.50 J Byrd
$10 L Glover
$16 S Cink
$21 C Petterson, W Simpson, V Singh
$24 B Davis
$34 S Marino
Rest $41 or better

Of the players in contention, have long positions on the above highlighted players plus Senden & Toms.

By the way, am very sad to hear of the passing of Seve. He was one of my heroes as a kid and I'll always remember that confident stride down the fairway. I can only imagine how huge he was in Spain.

RIP Champion.
