    No worries..

    A have stuck a quid on the big easy for first round lead at 125/1. I had gone on there to put a bet on Furyk first round lead but was disappointed to see he was only 50/1

    Been a fascinating tournament so far..loved every minute of it.

    I said after round 1 to a friend that Louis and Bubba were in prime position to attack on day 2. Unfortunately the wrong player for me made the right move.

    Speith continues to impress. Scott is looming, and Stick has made a great pick in Blixt. Already had VFM in that selection whatever happens now!

    I'm going to stick my neck out and predict bubba drops a couple of shots within first few holes and then blows up (not literally)

    Although this is wishful thinking really!

    Red ol chap, can I refer you to post no. 7. Two picks not included on your leaderboard. Don't want to make a fuss but one of them is tied for 7th and quite frankly has got me slightly giddy at the prospect of rounds 3 and 4. <laugh>

    Oh my God.........co-leader after 2.1/2 days.........a 300-1 shot! Keep it going as long as you can Jonas.
    He has the temperament to pull this off but I do feel that he has maybe hit the front a bit too soon!

    Bizarrely i was praying toward the end of yesterdays round that my outsider wouldnt be in the final pair or with Bubba. Things just might get to Spieth but what a talent and what a nice young man, best of luck to him and you Smokin.

    All the best men. Alway's nice to get the Masters winner I think. First time in years i wont have one placed even. Rickie Fowler might tempt me in at 12/1 before start of play though for interest.

    With 5 picks in the top 10 and 2 more in the top 20, id say that what ever happens from here on in we have all had a good run for our money... Good luck to all who has an interest left in the comp, its going to be one hell of a final day...<ok>

    Stick, i was thinking the exact same thing with speith

    final group wasnt as big an issue as playing with bubba. speith is long but bubba is out of this world, and if spieth tries to out do him things could go horribly wrong. they're both volatile characters so a strong start is needed for jordan.

    Found this quote from may last year

    A repeat of yesterday's round for Rickie would do me nicely! Greens are lightning quick later in the day, might have a look at Senden or someone to go out and shoot a few under for a clubhouse lead

    I went on Fowler at 12/1 for a tenner for hopefully some interest this eve. It should be a cracking final round whatever happens.

    Winner Bubba Watson @ -8

    T2 - Jonas Blixt, -5
    T2 - Jordan Spieth, -5
    T5 - Rickie Fowler, -2
    T5 - Matt Kuchar, -2
    7 - Lee Westwood, -1

    Well done to Bubba, and well done to the lads who got a return for their investment over these 4 days... Gotta say stick Jonas Blixt was one inspired arrow my man, and at 300/1 e/w you will have had a very nice little return indeed...<ok>

    Speith just blew a bit near the end but he will be around for a while now, and just looks a natural... Westwood did exactly was he says on his bag. Brilliant tee to green, sh1te on the green...!!! Kuchar fell apart AGAIN on a Sunday... And my one missed player 'Oh Rickie your so pretty, your so pretty, hey Fowler' showed us that he has a big win in him eventually...


    It didn't get the full blown drama we have had over the past few years but it was pretty tense watching the players struggle with their emotions, shot selections and putts that defy belief at times...


    The first of the Majors has passed us by now and so we turn our attention to the next big one, which will be The Players Championships in a months time...<cheers>

    well done for putting up this thread, it has made interesting reading and good to see so many of the leading contenders given a mention early doors. Bubba really played to his strength with his long hitting which paid dividends on the par 5's, the likes of McElroy, Rose and Westwood never really looked in it. Will the latter ever win a Major?
