Rory is 2/1 in a Bet 365 Super Boost to be top 20 after round one. You heard it here first. Unless you had already seen it
Won with Rahm last year but unsurprisingly the odds weren’t amazing. Always back Garcia as he has been my favourite since I first started taking an interest when I was younger so that was a nice little earner when he won. I think it was around 50-1. Actually not backed him this year. Scheffler. Dustin Johnson. Hovland. Matsuyama.
I usually wait until last 2 rounds to have a bet but my selections now would be Sheff or Shauff… The bet on Rory at 2’s seems good but he’s usually a slow starter
Willett is coming back after six months out from surgery doctors told him would take 12-18 months to recover from. If he makes the cut he will have done well.
C&D in horse racing terms are key here Matsuyama 18/1 Cam Smith 40/1 e/w Outsider Adam Scott 80/1 e/w sick of backing Rory/JT/JS if your a favourite backer its hard to look past Scheffler/Rory/Rahm or how about Aberg & Hovland what about Fitzzy and Tommy F or the fat whinger Tyrrell Hatten (reminds me of me alot) my advice would be pick an each way bet so your always involved
Watched Tiger Woods on the practice day yesterday. Looked in agony every shot, every swing, every body movement in fact. But even like that, he was pinging practice drives 330 yards. Hope this is his last tournament, for his own sake, not Golfs.
That's what makes true champions. Pushing themselves through the pain barrier. Got massive respect for Andy Murray. Grinded on through injury even though his ranking plummeted and he was losing to diddlydonks. Same went for Steve Davis in snooker. Carried on playing even though mentally it crucified him knowing what he was.
