PGA Championship
As regular readers will know I am currently in the US and attended last weeks opposite field Myrtle Beach PGA event. It was a thoroughly enjoyable week despite the rain and the fact that unfortunately we didn’t have any joy with our selections, with the one pick of ours who was in the hunt come Sunday, Danny Walker, having a poor final day.
The event…
The CJ Cup Byron Nelson
It was a week off for us last week as we sat out the Zurich Classic pairs event won by Andrew Novak & Ben Griffin, both of whom had of course been knocking on the door for a while for a break through win.
Talking of which and prior to that though we had a spectacular week as we landed the PGA Tour ‘double’. Firstly at the RBC Heritage Signature…
RBC Heritage
It was an excellent week for us at the Masters as we landed the ‘big fish’ on the opening day courtesy of backing Justin Rose at 70/1 to be round one leader.
The Englishman opened with a scintillating 65 to take a three shot lead on the first day and as know he rode that wave all the way to the end before ultimately missing out in a play off. Add in…
The Masters
It was a profitable week for us at The Valero Texas Open all be it one that could have ended up a whole lot better.
Heading in to the final day our 80/1 pick Tom Hoge sat in third place four off the 54 hole leader Brian Harman, while our 250/1 play Henrik Norlander started the day one shot out of the frame. In the end though it was our third man in the…
Texas Children’s Houston Open
It was a good week for us at the Valspar as we bagged a full each way return with our 175/1 pick Davis Riley.
Riley had hung around the lead all week and headed in to Sunday just two shots off the pace with legitimate win chances. Equally though with the leaderboard logjammed any mistakes were costly and after a double bogey seven at…
The Valspar Championship
It was a frustrating week for us at The Players Championship as despite four of our five picks making the weekend and our headline selection Collin Morikawa being right in the mix heading in to day three we drew a blank.
Morikawa’s demise came as a result of a stone cold putter over the final 36 holes while our other pick who was in the mix…
The Players Championship
It was a poor week for us at Bay Hill as after a flying start from Wyndham Clark the 2023 US Open Champion faded badly over the weekend and in an event that was ultimately won by Russel Henley we were never at the races come Sunday.
Over in Puerto Rico however we struck gold as rookie Karl Vilips produced a superb performance to land the…
Arnold Palmer Invitational
It was a poor week for us at the Cognizant Classic with four of our six selections missing the cut. The two that did make the weekend, Max Greyserman and Ryan Gerard then played solidly enough over the final thirty six holes however they couldn’t do enough to make the frame so in the end it was a blank week.
The event itself was won by…
Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches
It was about as painful and end to the week as it could get for us in Mexico as one of our picks, Aldrich Potgieter lost out in a play off to unheralded journeyman Brian Campbell.
Potgieter still just 20yrs old, had showcased his undoubted phenomenal talent over the first two days with a Friday 61 giving him a four shot lead…
Mexico Open
It was a frustrating week for us at the Genesis Invitational and very much a case of ‘what might have been’.
Of our four selections Gary Woodland missed the cut and Taylor Pendrith never got going. That left Kevin Yu and Rory McIlroy. Yu played nicely but a lukewarm putter stopped him threatening the frame, while McIlroy’s stone cold putter over the weekend…
