Found one that I liked and just played but it did move the line 8 cents. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson play the first two rounds together. Mickelson has not been performing well since blowing the U.S. Open on the 72nd hole and whenever matched up against Tiger, he melts. Can see this particularly happening in the first round with Tiger being very sharp currently. Phil's rounds at Medinah in 1999 were 72-72-74-77 when the course was shorter. With the pressure of playing along side Tiger, believe he gets off to a slow start. Hence,

Phil Mickelson Over 70.5 (First Round) (-128)

Can't wait for the PGA tomorrow. Here is a play I really like. Hope you don't mind if I post it here.

Will Sergio Garcia finish in the top 16?

Yes +128


I like to make a few more wagers after I see the first round.

Enjoy the golf.

I agree here OMT. I just bumped it up to -130.

Good luck to us and thanks!

This thread is open to everyone with thoughts, comments, opinions, picks, etc. for the entire tournament. Fire away. All ideas welcome.

I took dimarco at 50-1.

Here's something I'll never forget that our illustrious poster Railbird once posted:

"Best angle in all of gambling though for me is, fading Couples or Daly day after a bad round, because they dont care. They already got appearnce fee and dont meed the 5 grand for coming in 70th place."

I took David Toms at 55-1 and Tim Clark at 75-1. Good luck.

went with Dimarco also at 50-1.. Was riding montgomerie at huge odds until he crumbled at the Us Open at 150-1..

they actually paired jay haas with his brother jerry for the first 2 rounds..

that is really surprising.

daly caught a break as well . paired with his best friend on tour , vijay singh.

phil is one of the best 1st rounders on tour. shot a 66 in a practice round. I played the under.

the million dollar question is , how is geoff ogilvy gonna play in that group ???

At Carib they have Furyk to finish 9.5 o/u. At pinnacle it is 8.(including ties). Furyk has been exceptional this year, performed in all majors, and he should get a 5th or better finish in my opinion, so there's value in top 9 for Furyk as he has placed top 5 or better in 4 of his last 5 starts. Also T8th last time tournament was at Medina.
I also think A. Scott will finish in under 16.5 spots given his current yr.
Furyk over Goosen is my favorite Tourney matchup despite the vig.

Think Adam scott bit overrated. Great ball striker, awful putter. Most players will have to make a lot of saves today for par compared to typical tour course as rough very penal just off the fairway as opposed to graduated rough at US Open. I think scott struggles to make cut let alone top 17 finish. Though, GL to all backing the young Aussie.

He's placing top 10 46% of the time he tee's it up. That's not really that over rated. As far as missed cuts go, he's missed 1. Anything can happen, but statistically I feel I have an edge here.

FYI....

I read in USA Today they will be having free internet coverage beginning at 12:30. TV Coverage starts at 2:00 on TNT.

Thanks SCnit, do you know where we can view it on the internet?
