Question

*Crazy line movement on some of these already.

Tyrell Hatton ov Henrik Stenson

This last season Hatton was really good early, and then fell apart. He fired his caddie, and proceeded to finish 3rd, 8th, 1st, 1st. And that was against good competition. Stenson has decent course history here, finishing 2nd here last year, but that was off his ridiculous end of the year finish where he was playing the best golf on either tour. Right now, he only has one finish inside the top 10 since June, and that was a win at the Wyndham with no competition. I don’t think he’s ready to compete for a win, I think Tyrell Hatton can compete for his third straight win.

Patrick Cantlay ov Adam Scott

We’re gonna make money off of Patrick Cantlay this season, and it starts this week against Adam Scott. Cantlay finished really strong, I love how he managed himself this season and didn’t play too many tournaments, his last 4 tournaments of the year, 20th, 9th, 13th, 10th. He has elite talent, the last season was a fantastic comeback off the injury and tragedy he had…I think this is the year he elevates into that next group of golfers. Last 2 tournaments they played in together Cantlay finished was ahead of Adam Scott, Scott not real impressive last week finishing 25th in a fairly weak field. I think Adam Scott has struggled since he and his wife had their baby.

Lucas Glover ov Peter Uihlein

Lost a bet in tremendous fashion against him 2 weeks ago…I don’t care I think Peter Uihlein sucks, and Lucas Glover is a better golfer. Lucas Glover 30th, 7th, 15th the last 3 weeks, so he’s in a nice groove. I don’t know what else to say about Peter Uihlein, he’s inconsistent, I don’t think he’s on the same level as someone like Lucas Glover. Uihlein needed a web.com tour win to get his PGA tour card, and even then he missed the cut in some of those tournaments. I’ll take Glover to play better than Uihlein in a strong field.

Marc Leishman ov Dustin Johnson

Like a moron I bet against Marc Leishman last week, Leishman has 3 top 3 finishes in his last 4 tournaments. Dustin played in the Presidents Cup, but hasn’t played in an actual tournament in well over a month, and his last 3 finishes were outside the top 15. This is a great value play where you can get Leishman at +178 in the tournament and +175 first round. I’ll play both.

LIKE your thoughts this week, alangrrbs. I chanced these this weekPat Perez -110 over Xander Schauffele "X" a favorite of mine BUT completely "blew up" in Korea. could have been just a "brain fart" BUT could be sick or injured. Perez has had a golfing " epiphany" with a WIN @ CIMB Classic [-24] and tied 5th in Korea [-5] his last twoFrancesco Molinari even over Henrick Stenson"The Mole" has been steady all season on both the PGA and Euro Tour with tied 6th in Italy his last. Stenson with a WIN @ Wyndham but has been pretty "flat" in recent Euro Tour events. he DID get tied for 2nd here last seasonPaul Dunne even over Kiradech Aphibarnrat"A Fat Barn Rat" did get tied for 2nd last week in Italy vs a tied 26th for Dunne BUT "Young Gun" WON the British Masters where he shot a "wicked low" [-9] 61 the final round for [-20] and followed up with tied 7th @ the Alfred Dunhill Links [-13] BOTH better than the Barn Rat&#x27;s finish in those tourneysHideki Matsuyama &#x2B;110 vs Dustin Johnson Matsuyama "straightend his putz" in the CIMB Classic with a tied for 5th [-16] after being somewhat "flat" in the FedEx "final four" BUT WON the Bridgestone with a "wicked low" final [-9] for a five shot WIN @ [-16]. he also LOVES this golf course winning here last season by SEVEN shots. Dustin WON the first of the Fed Ex "final four" The Northern BUT has NOT played since the Tour ChampionshipGOOD LUCK

LeRinkRat · Answer

NO Justin Thomas, last weeks winner in Korea, or Sergio Garcia the winner in Spain. also NO Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler or Rory McIlroy on entry list

favorites Dustin Johnson @ 8-1 and last years winner Hideki Matsuyama @ 10-1 with Jason Day @ 15-1. last weeks runner up in Korea Marc Leishman along with Jon Rahm and Justin Rose @ 18-1

"of interest" plays for me

Tyrrell Hatton @ 25-1. WON his last two tourneys Alfred Dunhill Links and Italian Open.

Ross Fisher @ 28-1. 2nd to Hatton in both those tourneys

Pat Perez @ 33-1. WON CIMB Classic and tied 5th last week in Korea

Paul Dunne @ 60-1 WON British Masters with a final round [-9] 61. tied 7th Alfred Dunhill Links

Kiradech Aphibarnrat @ 80-1. tied for 2nd with Fisher in Italy and has won in China before in 2015 beating Haotong Li in a playoff at Shenzhen

high odds "cats & dogs" tourney winners this season
Alex Levy 100-1 (China Open)
Jordan L Smith 125-1 (European Open)
Graeme Storm 150-1 (South African Open)
Adam Hadwin 150-1 (Valspar)
Si Woo Kim 150-1 (The Players)
Hudson Swafford 150-1 (Career Builder)
Fabrizio Zanotti 200-1 (Maybank)
Hayden Porteous 250-1 (Czech Masters)
Brandon Stone 250-1 (Leopard Creek)
Wesley Bryan 250-1 (RBC Heritage)
SSP Chawraisa 500-1 (Indian Open)

think ALL worth a small $2 to $5 dollar "sprinkle" because "HEY!!! You Never KNOW!!!"

Betting dogs this weekIm with you on Leishman Cantlay and HattonI&#x27;m also on Fisher who is playing great and has a great history here (2016 T6 -14 and 2015 T3 -17)&#x2B;150 v Rose&#x2B;115 v KoepkaFleetwood &#x2B;140 v Molinari Weisberger &#x2B;115 v SchwartzelAlso a favoriteBerger -110 v FinauBerger good history here 2016 T2 -162015 T11 -14Good luck

LeRinkRat · Answer

Fisher &#x2B;150 v RoseFisher &#x2B;115 v KoepkaFleetwood &#x2B;140 v Molinari Weisberger &#x2B;115 v SchwartzelBoy OH those are GREAT lines, sacker17 esp "The Fish" &#x2B;150 over Rose. don&#x27;t know iF Tommy beats "The Mole" but the money sure right. Tommy could contend for the tourney "to win" OR "blow up" first tee times 5:50pm pacific time Wednesday with Golf Channel coverage starting @ 7:00pm

LeRinkRat · Answer

first round "Euro Tour vs PGA" dog plays (tee times pacific)

Richie Ramsay -105 over Hudson Swafford -115 (6:00pm)
Kiradech Aphibarnrat +105 over Lucas Glover -125 {6:10pm)
Ryan Fox +155 over Patrick Cantlay -175 {6:20pm)
Paul Dunne -110 over Kyle Stanley -110 (7:10pm)
Alex Levy +120 over Branden Grace -140 (7:40pm)

IF I was to just make ONE bet it would be "Young Gun" Dunne who has opened with 67-67-66 his last three tourneys and 74-69-67 the previous three vs Stanley 68-71-64-70-67-70-70 his last 7

LeRinkRat · Answer

WOW!!! went to book @ William-Hill and Paul Dunne had gone to +105 from -110 (like it even more) AND "A Fat Barn Rat" to +130 from +105 which I think makes him a "press"

"A Fat Barn Rat" 64-70-66-70-68-68-69 last 7 opening rounds
Lucas Glover 67-71-69-68-71-69-65 last 7 opening rounds

alangrrbs · Answer

I like it guys.  Let&#x27;s get it big this week.

LeRinkRat · Answer

well did OK on the first round bets going 3-2 BUT I am BURIED once again on two of my tourney match plays with "The Mole" completely "blowing up" [+5] and Matsuyama having trouble with his "putz" again [+2]

will see what happens the rest of the way. IF the weather stays like this Friday and over the week end with calm winds, someone might shoot 30 under in this thing

LeRinkRat · Answer

some interesting "cats &amp; dogs" scratching and barking after 1st round. Malaysian Gaven Green tied 2nd @ [-7] Haydn Porteous (WON Czech Masters) tied 4th @ [-6] and the ChiCom Ashun Wu tied 6th [-5] along with Paul Dunne and Justin Rose. Dunne could get into the Top 10 of Race to Dubai with WIN or high finish. he is #12 with "The Mole @ #8 stinking so far AND Rory McIlroy @ #9 NOT playing. Wu really needs a high finish as he is in danger of losing his card for next season @ 130th Race to Dubai. BOTH Dunne AND Wu should be @ [-6] BUT they BOTH "jacked" short 4 foot putts on #17 in the round chanced these 2nd round VERY lightlyAlex Levy &#x2B;125 over Branden Grace Brooks Koepka -105 vs Jason Day Justin Rose -105 over Paul Casey Andrew Dodt &#x2B;190 vs Charles Howell III

LeRinkRat · Answer

Oh WHY oh WHY would I EVER bet on a golfer who's NAME is the SAME as what Homer Simpson say when he FUKKS UP ??? DODT!!! the bugger is [+3] to Howell's [-4] half way thru the 2nd round

AND "Samurai Golfer" Matsuyama STILL having "trouble with his putz" [+3] for tourney [+5] thru #10

LeRinkRat · Answer

well just FORGET-ABOUT-IT!!! Dustin Johnson with a NINE birdie NINE par [-9] for tourney [-13] and one shot lead over Koepka and four shot lead over Rose and "A Fat Barn Rat" going into the weekend. btw BOTH Rose and the Barn Rat JACK four foot putts to bogie #18. DJ plays like THAT the rest of the tourney everyone ELSE is playing for 2nd place got a "splitski" on my 2nd round match plays with Koepka and Rose WIN while Levy and Dodt LOSE. Howell only BEAT Dodt by 12 shots!!! Alex Levy &#x2B;125 over Branden Grace lose [-1/-3]Brooks Koepka -105 over Jason Day WIN [-4/&#x2B;2]Justin Rose -105 over Paul Casey WIN [-4/even]Andrew Dodt &#x2B;190 over Charles Howell III lose [&#x2B;7/-5]"The Mole" and "Samurai Golfer" obviously still buried in my tourney match plays BUT I got hope for Perez who is [-3] for [-3] over "X" [&#x2B;3] for [&#x2B;2] after the 2nd round

LeRinkRat · Answer

chanced these for 3rd roundJordan L Smith &#x2B;175 over Tommy Fleetwood (just on "value)parlay (I think three "mis-match")Pat Perez -125 over Bernd Wiesberger Scott Hend -110 over David Lipsky Charles Howell III -120 over Gaven Green

LeRinkRat · Answer

well another day, another WRECK with Smith, Hend and Perez all "blowing up". I just hope Perez does NOT bone his tourney match with "X". has just a 2 shot lead going into the final day

Dustin Johnson has it pretty much "locked up" @ [-17] after Brooks Koepka "blew up" on the per 5 #8 with a triple and finished [-11] I doubt DJ will bone a 6 shot lead the way he is playing

LeRinkRat · Answer

Good God Gertie!!! Justin Rose "Shanghai&#x27;s" the tourney with a final round [-5] for tourney [-14] two shot WIN over 3rd round leader Dustin Johnson, Brook Koepka and Henrik Stenson!!! DJ reverted to his "Magilla Gorilla" mode on the back nine and BLEW UP shooting a final round [&#x2B;5]. watched the back nine in Golf Channel after the late college football was done AND it was just UNREAL!!! btw, I THINK we need to STOP fading Peter Uihlein. the guy is back to his mid-summer form when he got 2nd Open de France and tied 14th Irish Open. finished tied 5th this week and tied 10th two weeks ago in Malaysia

alangrrbs · Answer

Yeah, me and Sacker bet on him 4th round against Peters, and cashed it.  So I think we&#x27;re in agreement on him.

LeRinkRat · Answer

Peter Uihlein listed on the Turkish Open entries along with this weeks winner Justin Rose and the usual top name "Euro Trash". Rolex Series tourney for "big bucks"
