    I'm gonna do exactly what I did last year, pick a handful of big odds gunslingers used to British conditions. The young la-di-da's dont stand a chance in this weather, the tried & trusted do

    I know cock all about golf, only that the prices fluctuate like crazy so my strategy is to pick about ten at the start and back and lay those and others all the way through to the end. A strategy that fell on its arse in the last major (there's a thread somewhere) when it was all looking so good on Saturday afternoon.

    I stick with roughly the same bunch and back and lay others as they charge or encounter a blip and anyone who slips through the net is my loser. Woods will start off as a loser for me and go all the way through the weekend as such. I'm not actively laying him, although I did last time, but I'm not putting a penny on him either.

    My top ten pre kick off are, as follows (some prices are betfair and are without commission and rounded down to the nearest 5)

    Harrington 20/1
    Mickelson 40
    Garcia 40
    Molinari 45
    Kaymer 50
    Poulter 50
    Ouistwhatsit 50
    Furyk 55
    Mahan 55
    Goosen 190

    Let the battle commence

    Not sure I'm going to bet yet, which means I will lol. But if I'm looking I'm looking at the likes of:
    Els
    Furyk
    Choi
    Lawrie
    Bjorn
    Cink
    Davis Love 3rd
    Laird
    ...edit - possibly Harrington as well

    Lets not get carried away with the rough , its not every hole , they are professional golfers so stay the fuck out of it !!

    Gone for Hunter Mahan (50/1) and Rickie Fowler ( 40/1 ).
    Top European , two probables for me , Rose and Mcdowell , both around 14s.

    Having looked at the driving stats, whilst also considering the necessity to stick to the fairways, I'm favouring McDowell and Mahan, but for his love of links golf and challenging conditions, I also going for Fowler.

    I'm also temped by Rose too.

    Its not just the rough though is it, its the wind, links, the whole thing. That has not brought me a list of Mahan & McDowell for precisely the same reasons as Gav, Curtis & Tim Clarke for the same type of reasons, but my main money will be going on Simon Dyson & Jamie Donaldson top Brit/English.
    Donaldson has just won on links in Ireland & isnt far away from the Ryder Cup squad, & dyson is a low hitter, accurate 7 has also won on links.
    Others to look for are Cabrera-Bello & Fernandes-Castano top contis

    I'm actually green on 8 of those now, not much profit to what i've staked but i've been betting in play early morning last two days. Great to come home and see the leader board tonight. Only Olsen and Els can do me damage from the current top 10.

    Swoops - if you're reading this, I owe you a couple of pints. I'm sitting here in absolute shock. Was watching the golf and turned it off when it was obvious that Scott was going to piss it. Just turned the computer on to find that Else won it. If I hadn't read Swoops' post I would be sitting here kicking myself black and blue cos he's one I always have on my side and I'd completely missed him out for some reason.

    Cheers mate:beer
