Maybe that's because I use a British book but please... Give me Reed +120 with a 3 shot lead in a virtual Match Play situation...Worst case scenario is a playoff IMO...Don't see Captain America letting this opportunity slip away in a Ryder Cup Rematch. Maybe I'm biased since I had large Rory Futures last two years and only a small Reed future left with realistic shot this year. Can't wait, nothing like the Masters.
Absolutely, it played super easy. I'm scratching my head as to how T. Fleetwood is at -6 after 1 birdie to 9 bogeys on the 9 toughest holes. That's after 27 holes, 1 birdie on those. Reed is 6 to 3 and Rory is 5 to 4. Fowler is 4 to 1 and leads the field with only 1 bogey. I think he is a good bet at +750 to win it. Rory got very lucky today to his credit he was feeling it but it could have gone bad (the missle shot chip in, hitting the lip of the bunker, the nice rebound off the trees into fairway on 18). Reed should win if he doesn't choke. Bubba is another outside shot, he is curious as he hasn't seemed to be bombing it this week so far and he is playing very well with the irons (4/3 on tough holes). He doesn't have an eagle all week. He could push the leaders. At 40 to 1 its worth a sprinkle. Spieth/Thomas playing together should be a good thing, they are close friends and should be loose playing from behind. Not to win but they could get close.
They are going to place the pins to push this thing closer together. Some players totally on will score low, but if your slightly off their will be bogey or worse.
I like Reed. But him and Rory both have some ?? being able to close out. One of them should win but I just feel like it won't come from either perhaps they spend to much energy on each other.
Most likely candidates:
Fowler (best stats and fewest bogeys...he won't fall)
Watson (played very smart this week...he has yet to eagle a hole)
Thomas (he won't fall, solid chance he has low score today)
Rahm (he is capable but stats say he will have to stay very hot, could see him falling)
Fleetwood shoud fall, Rose should move up. Stenson has no chance of winning in my opinion but will not fall. Leishman should stay where he is but likely falls because he doesn't make a lot of mistakes but can't score here like the rest. Spieth, he has played the tough holes very poorly this week. If he is relaxed he could make a move but if he presses he will fall.
Today will be very different than yesterday. The folks running Augusta will make sure of it. I don't like either Rory or Reed to post super low numbers. I could be wrong and those two run away with that being the only competition. But I prefer those listed above making a run a low score and pushing it into a pack between -7 and -10. That's my two cents for what its worth.
Established in 1995,
Scores were off the charts again but in the end Reed was too far ahead as expected. Rory never showed up.
