Good luck! Take a look into Reed over Bubba for the tourny. My biggest play this week!

LeRinkRat · Answer

Patrick Reed shot well @ Inverness tied for 10th with Graeme McDowell [-9] for the tourney with back to back [-5] Saturday &amp; Sunday I found an interesting "to win" FIELD bet @ 50-1 @ South Point sportsbook Las Vegas yesterday. they have a number of players in their FIELD that could surprise @ Troon. thought it was worth a $20 to win $1000 "sprinkle"Alex Noren &lt;&lt;&lt; WON Scottish Open [-14]Tyrrell Hatton &lt;&lt;&lt; 2nd Scottish Open [-13]Nick Colsaerts &lt;&lt;&lt; T-3rd [-6] final round Scottish Open Mattio Manassero &lt;&lt;&lt; T-3rd Scottish Open [-12]Richie Ramsey &lt;&lt;&lt; T-6th [-5] final round Scottish OpenJames Hahn Scott Hend Jeunghun Wang Rikard Karlberg Andy Johnson Danial SummerhaysWilliam McGirt Colt Knost Fabian Gomez Smylie KaufmanPatton Kizzire Jon Rahm also "Kiwi Danny" Lee $5 @ 100-1 T-3rd @ Invernesslike alangrrbs I am also fading BOTH "Rickey Tickie" AND &#x27;"Matthew Mouse" this week along with Matsuyama in their match plays. also have "to miss the cut" props on Rickie Fowler &#x2B;270 , Shane Lowry &#x2B;220 Matthew Fitzpatrick &#x2B;165 &amp; Hideki Matsuyama &#x2B;190

Looked real hard at that matchup and then went with Kuchar over Bubba instead of Reed over Bubba.  Doesn&#x27;t mean I won&#x27;t jump on board with you.  All it takes is a couple of cocktails, and I&#x27;m in.  Which will probably happen tomorrow night.

alangrrbs · Answer

LeRinkI actually really like that wager on the field.  I don&#x27;t play outright winners, but I think the value is there.  There are 5 guys I see in there that have an outside shot at winning.  BOL

LeRinkRat · Answer

just checked the weather forecast for Royal Troon starting Thursday @ https://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/2016-british-open-weather-forecast-rain-royal-troon the opening round should be reasonable partly cloudy with 10% chance of rain and 15 MPH winds from the west. Friday could be a re-run of day one @ Inverness last week. 90% chance of rain and 20 MPH winds from the south as a front moves thru. Saturday and Sunday should be 60% then 70% chance of rain showers with wind southwest @ 30 mph Saturday and west-southwest 20 mph Sunday.

COULD be a HIGH scoring Open

AJLightning · Answer

I still think it gets to at least -8 or -10 to win!

alangrrbs · Answer

Good to see you in here Bertski!!!Love the Day plays!!!

alangrrbs · Answer

Forgot to do the write-ups. Sorry. I know some people like reading them.

Day v Spieth

I have Day as the best golfer in the world. Jordan isn't in my top 4 right now. I'll keep playing this matchup each week.

Louis v Rose

There are 2 injuries I think affect golfers the most. Wrist and back. And I don't think Rose's back is 100%. That leads to inconsistency, and he probably isn't going to hold together all tournament. Louis can be frustrating to be on at times, but I think he will hang around and end up finishing strong on Sunday.

Sergio v Fowler

Sergio is playing fantastic right now. 3 top 5's in the last 3 tourneys. Fowler isn't playing good enough to get in top 5's right now. I think Sergio can win this tourney. Wouldn't surprise me if Rickie missed the cut.

Zach Johnson v Matthew Fitzpatrick

Zach is coming off of 2 top 10 finishes, and Fitzpatrick is coming off of 2 missed cuts. Oh, and by the way...Zach won this tournament last year, and has 2 other top 10 finishes. Fitzpatrick has played in the Open once and finished 44th.

Kuchar v Watson

Bubba has missed the cut the last 2 Opens. Cuter has 5 top 6 finishes in his last 6 tournaments. Bubba doesn't have a finish that good in a long time.

Westwood v Willet

Willet since winning the Masters hasn’t been great. He has a 3rd, but he also has 4 MC’s, and he is coming off of 2 straight MC’s. Westwood has 4 top 15’s in his last 5 tourneys, and he just always seems to play good at the majors.

BONUS PLAY

First Round only

Dustin Johnson v Rory McIlroy

I had a feeling Rory wasn’t terrific in first rounds, and then I found this great stat. Since the Masters, Dustin Johnson has played 6 1st rounds under 70. Rory has played 0 first rounds under 70. Then what does Rory do in round 2? 4 out of 6 tournaments since the Masters he’s shot 69 or lower. So I’m hoping Rory doesn’t do great in round 1, and then we turn around and play him in round 2.

would LIKE to shoot you a PM BUT you NEVER accepted my FRIENDS request, alangrrbs

alangrrbs · Answer

Playing Summerhays v MontgomerieI think Montgomerie falls apart tomorrow.

alangrrbs · Answer

3 guys I bet against made the cut by 1 stroke.  This has 0-3 in those bets written all over it.

LeRinkRat · Answer

I know what you mean, I got burned last week when BOTH Mickelson and Stenson "squeeked in" the 2nd round to barely make the cut @ Inverness. I was lucky to get a "putch" with them vs Kaymer in what should have been a "walkover" tourney match play I went 3-2 on my "make the cut? NO" bets on Fowler, Willett, Fitzpatrick, Lowry and Maysuyama. pizzed me off that Willett makes a birdie @ #16 today to "squeek in" @ [&#x2B;4]

LeRinkRat · Answer

well played,  alangrrbs. Summerhays &#x2B;6. Colin Montgomerie &#x2B;8

alangrrbs · Answer

I was pulling my hair out watching Summerhays fumble his way to the finish.  But in the end it worked out.

alangrrbs · Answer

One play for the final roundStricker -110 v HolmesStricker has had one bad hole this tourney.  If he pars that hole instead of his weird quadrouple bogey, he&#x27;s at -7 for the tourney.  I know it&#x27;s easy to just eliminate one hole from a guys scorecard and say he&#x27;s playing well, but what really like about this matchup is how Stricker played on the back 9 today compared to Holmes.  The back 9 is where you can really lose shots, especially if weather bring rain and wind, and Stricker played the back 9 at -1 today...Holmes played it at &#x2B;2.

Dr-Spanimal · Answer

great finish for the weekend gents....loved the picks....

of course I started watching just in time to catch Kuchar fumble to the 7 on the par 3 and then lose to bubba by 1....of course bubba training a 50 footer for eagle on 16 did not help either. thought that was one in the bag....but going 7-2 on the weekend is what I call great picks! doubled up on the scott over fowler pick!

keep it up and thanks.....now just got to get to the mail before my wife keeps opening up all my winnings
