I've got £20 on him to finish in the Top 20 though only at 5/2, if that comes up it'll cover the losses it looks as if I'l be making on Spieth.

Orraloon Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think even I could give Zach Edmondson a decent game. Although he wont be last. Looks like Henrik Stenson went home in the huff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larky Masher Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Speith was brilliant when winning at Colonial three weeks ago so I placed a bet based on that, now think Dustin Johnson could break his major's duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a watch him Thursday and yesterday when he had a couple of bad shots and bad luck that I've seen his definitely stop trying after in the past but he stuck in this time, whether he keeps it up or not could be questioned but there is evidence that he does have more focus.

Orraloon Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Knox moves to minus 1. Tied 5th at the moment. Easy money Larky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Westwood 80/1 £2.5 ew Lowry top 5 finish 20/1 £5 Haf Day for 1st round leader and Cabrera-Bello,obviously both dead in the water. Stuck £19 last night on Westwood 2nd round leader @ 7/1, so here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the phone to a mate and said Westwood could go either way. And he did - big time. DJ has bottled it lots of times but held it together brilliantly until the ball moved a few holes back. They've left him hanging unfairly waiting for a ruling and it's started to affect his game a little. My best bet placed was on Lowry to win @ 125/1 at the start but I actually feel sorry for DJ now.

They've left him hanging unfairly waiting for a ruling and it's started to affect his game a little. Haven't seen the incident. He is a professional golfer so he should know the rules. If he needs to wait for a referee to make the decision for him, then it's his own fault. Did he get penalised? That rule is pretty straightforward since it was updated in 2012. If he caused the ball to move then it is a penalty. If something else (i.e. wind) caused it to move then - no penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) No penalty but he may get one once they watch the tapes. They could have watched tapes several holes ago and not gone through this waiting game. Everyone agrees it's a fiasco, including top players on twitter (shown on SS coverage) such as Spieth, Rory and Fowler. Watch it and you'll probably change your opinion. Total shambles.

fringo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 PS - And all the other players were told this was pending so it affected everyone and has put a dampener on what has been a cracking last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player himself is in the best position to know whether he caused the ball to move or not. He must know within himself whether he moved it or not.

fringo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 He said he didn't and Westwood said he didn't. It also happened on 5th hole and seemed fine but they then approached him on 12th to say it would be reviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I think the fact that he said "I don't believe I caused the ball to move.". suggests he could well be penalised. He needs to "know or be virtually certain" that something else (wind or whatever) caused the ball to move. That statement sounds, to me anyway, that he isn't "virtually certain". He might even be penalised 2 shot as he should have replaced the ball before hitting his next putt. Then again they might just take pity on him because he is due a win.

Fairbairn Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Sergio is the biggest bottler in golf, no doubt. To go bogey, bogey, bogey on the back 9 is just ridiculous having hung in all afternoon and kept himself in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
