Golf picks this week

I’ll post full write ups later.

definitely in favor of Thor Olesen NOT doing well this week. I have Nicky Colsaerts over him -105

any opinion Pat Perez +130 over Rickie Fowler ??? "Rickie Tickie" first tourney of the new season as the "to win" fav @ 8-1. Perez been HOT with with WIN CIMB, tied 5th in Korea and tied 24th WGC-HSBC. he is 2nd favorite @ 12-1 this week. WON here last season

Charles Howell ov Byeung Hun An

Charles Howell looks like he is back from his injury, as he’s gotten immensely better the last 3 tournaments.  59th 4 weeks ago, then 19th, then 15th.  Solid tournament history here with a 7th last year, 17th before that, 6 total top 20 finishes at this tournament.  Byeung Hun aAn has been ok recently, but he’s never played here, and one reason I think we’re getting this matchup is that Hun An finished better in the last couple tourneys he and Howell have played in together, but that doesn’t take into account Howell coming back and improving.  Hun An has never played at this tournament, so I like Howell’s experience here.

Jason Kokrak ov Anirban Lahiri

Lahiri had a couple of nice tournaments in a row where he finished 9th, 10th, and 5th.  Last week he came back to earth finishing in 51st.  And that pretty much sums up Anirban Lahiri.  Couple of good finishes, and then he goes back to bad finishes.  In 2017 he had 8 top 20 finishes, but 12 finishes outside the top 50.  His really good finishes were all over the board, no consistency, and he tends to have way more runs of bad finishes than good finishes.  I’m betting he’s getting ready to go on a bad run.  Kokrak on the other hand has been fairly consistent, 3 straight top 20 finishes in 2018, and he finished the 2017 season with 4 made cuts at the big boy tournaments, and what I love about Kokrak this week is that he’s played here 3 times, and has finished 17th, 16th, and 15th, so I have a pretty good idea of what I’m getting this week in Kokrak.

Eddie Pepperell ov Thorbjorn Olesen

Pepperell has 6 top 10 finishes in his last 7 tournaments!!!  Dude is on fire, how did we lose money on him last week?!?  Olsen has 1 top 10 finish in the last 3 months, of course it was last week when we bet against him…Olesen has played here once, that was last year where he finished 63rd.  I’m betting more on Pepperell this week than I did last week…Last week was the exception, not the rule…we make our money back and then some this week.

Boy OH. I am already FUKKED in BOTH tourneys. ALL my tourney match plays are IN the SH!T 1st round. these guys are SO inconsistent tourney to tourney 

Nedbank >>>
Nicky Colsaerts -105 [+4] over Thorbjorn Olesen [-1]
Paul Dunne even [+2] over Chris Wood [even]
Kiradech Aphibarnrat +105 [+2] over Charl Schwartzel [-3]

OHL >>>
Whee Kim -120 [-2] over Patton Kizzire [-9]
Pat Perez +130 [-3 thru #9] over Rickie Fowler [-6]
Patrick Reed +195 [+1] over Rickie Fowler [-6]

the GOOD news is I have a "to win" on Patton Kizzire @ 65-1 although I DOUBT he can maintain that [-9] pace AND "Rickie Tickie" "lurking" just 3 shots back in 2nd @ [-6]

the "who'ed a thunk it'" so far in OHL are Retief Goosen @ 200-1, Fabian Gomez @ 250-1 and the ChiCom rookie Xinjun Zhang (field) among 6 tied for 3rd @ [-5] 

the GOOD news is I have a "to win" on Patton Kizzire @ 65-1 although I DOUBT he can maintain that [-9] pace AND "Rickie Tickie" "lurking" just 3 shots back in 2nd @ [-6]

EXCELSIOR!!! "Kizz" hangs on for the [-19] one shot "wire to wire" WIN over "Rickie Tickey"!!! $8 for $528 SAVES my WEEKEND. LOST $300 on BOTH Nedbank AND OHL match plays going one for six SO it BAILS me OUT!!!

HUGE WIN for Patton Kizzire. not only the almost $1.3 million prize BUT a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour (which prints money) AND invites to BOTH The Masters and PGA tourneys. you could almost see this coming for "Kizz" with tied for 10th @ Sanderson Farms [-8] followed by tied 4th @ Shriner's Las Vegas last week [-8] with a final round [-7] in the wind his last two tourneys

my Korean boy Si Woo Kim gets 3rd @ [-15] for his best finish since his Players Championship WIN last spring. maybe his his injury problems are done and getting back into form ???

former UNLV first team All-American golfer, 21 year John Oda, in his first PGA Tour event as a pro, with a nice 8th place for $220K. gets him into the RSM Classic next week at Sea Island. will definitely look at his "to win" next week
