Amazingly we could still be in the money with Colsaerts. He is Tied 5th on -10. Curse those five shots thrown away on three holes on Friday.

Fry.com Open
Steele still leads the way on -14. Our three are now probably too far back to challenge. An outside chance of a place is our only hope. Hideki Matsuyama 18/1 -7 Tied 27th Tony Finau 40/1 -7 Tied 27th Jonas Blixt 150/1 -4 Tied 54th

USB Hong Kong Open
The longest continuous running tournament currently on the European Tour takes place this week. There is a mixed field of European Tour regulars, Asian Tour players plus a few from the PGA Tour, most noticeably Justin Rose & Dustin Johnson. A flick through previous results on this course and one name keeps cropping up time & again and it would be foolish to ignore it. Miguel Angel Jiminez 28/1 MAJ has won this event four times in the last ten years including twice in the last three years so he is definitely the course specialist. Whilst his current form is mixed, it is impossible to ignore course stats like this so he has to be part of our portfolio. Matthew Fitzpatrick 16/1 Not brilliant odds but Fitz has been brilliantly consistent this season and his first tour win at Woburn could kick him forward to a higher level. Thomas Pieters followed his first tour win with a second next time out & Fitz could do the same. Lucas Bjerregaard 50/1 Lucas has trundled along all season doing nothing spectacular but has had three top ten finishes in his last five events at the Italian Open (3rd), European Open (5th) & Portugal Masters (9th). He also has course form, finishing 5th here last year Angelo Que 125/1 Not an obvious pick on the face of it but amidst a sea of mediocre results for the last two years, two stand out - 5th in this event two years ago and runner up last year, losing in a playoff. Could be a case of horses for courses. Good Luck!

This event is is Las Vegas and our main two bets are two local players.
Ryan Moore 28/1 Moore has three top ten finishes here in the last six years including a win three years ago. He finshed with rounds of 67 & 68 last weekend to show he is in good nick and he has the putting game to win here on his home course. Charley Hoffman 40/1 Hoffman has three top ten finishes here over the last ten years and he also has the putting game to put him in contention. Kevin Streelman 80/1 Streelman was runner up here a year ago and although he hasn't won for a couple of years, he might be about right to get back on track on a favoured course. A better set of fixtures tonight so a few bets. QPR v Sheff Wed Rangers' home matches have finished 2-2 4-2 1-2 2-2 4-3 so far this season & they are the team that has scored the most & conceded the most in this division this season. Wednesday have scored in 10 of their 11 league matches so far & conceded in 9 of them so this looks a good bet for plenty of goals. Bets around scores like 2-2 & 2-3 will give great odds but I prefere going for BTTS. Bet TWO POINTS on BTTS at 1.80. Rotherham v Reading The Millers' corners in their last four home matches have been 5-8-9-7 while four of the Royals' five away matches have failed to reach 10.5 corners. Bet ONE POINT on Under 10.5 Corners at 1.85. Gillingham v Scunthorpe All six of the Iron's away matches have gone over 2.5 goals. The Gills' last three home matches have had 15 goals in total so bet ONE POINT on Over 2.5 Goals at 1.86. Peterboro v Wigan Both sides have scored in all six of Posh's home matches and the last four of the Latics' away matches. Bet ONE POINT on BTTS at 1.67. Morecambe v Crawley Morecambe's last four home matches & Crawley's last five away matches have all gone over 2.5 goals. Bet ONE POINT on Over 2.5 Goals at 1.87. Wycombe v Newport All of Newport's six away matches have failed to reach 10.5 corners while five of Wanderers' six home matches have also fallen short of this line. Bet ONE POINT on Under 10.5 Corners at 1.80. Yeovil v Mansfield Yeovil's last five home corner totals have been 10-9-8-3-8 while Mansfield's away corner totals have been 8-8-9-11-9-6 so Bet TWO POINTS on Under 10 Corners (DNB) at 1.80. York v Dagenham City's last four home matches & the Daggers' last five away matches have all had both teams scoring. Bet ONE POINT on BTTS at 1.86. Good Luck!

Have to say that Bjerregaard was the most impressive player on Day One, bagging four consecutive birdies late on to put himself in contention. Justin Rose remains a strong favourite (5/2) but it is very open.

Miguel Angel Jiminez 28/1 +3 Tied 98th
Matthew Fitzpatrick 16/1 -6 Tied 5th Lucas Bjerregaard 50/1 -8 2nd Angelo Que 125/1 -1 Tied 48th A very good second day with Bjerregaard in second one short behind Rose after second consecutive round of 66. Fitzpatrick hit a second consecutive 67 to put himself in perfect position should the leaders slip up. Several fancied players won't be playing this weekend - Dustin Johnson, Horsey, Harrington & Jiminez.
