WGC Cadillac Championship (Day Two)
Bubba Watson 12/1 -6 Tied 5th Adam Scott 12/1 -10 1st JB Holmes 30/1 +5 Tied 57th Louis Oosthuizen 40/1 Par Tied 29th Danny Willett 70/1 -7 Tied 4th Another great day for our players with three in the top five including Adam Scott, who leads the way by two shots on -10. The big shadows of Rory & Dustin are two back on -8 as most of the big names are up there. Any of the top ten can still win this although no-one has come back from more than five behind at helfway here in the last 20 years except Tiger Woods so could be between the top six - Scott, Rory, Dustin, Willett, Bubba & Hoffman.

Couldn't even get one place
  Nice job there MS  , picking the winner is a hard task in itself, but getting the top 3 is quite remarkable, were they small or big bets if you don't mind me asking??

True Thailand Classic This event is played at the Black Mountain Club, Hua Hin. The course is an average length Par 72. The course favours the big hitters with plenty of room off the tee and minimal rough off the fairways. The market is led by Jaidee, Luiten, Aphibarnrat, Pieters, Uihlein, Larrazabal & Levy. All are serious contenders but mostly are players that I prefer at 50/1 in a tougher field rather than shorter priced favourites. However, I will make one exception to this thinking. Thomas Pieters 25/1 Pieters owes me nothing and if he plays anywhere near his best, he will be close here. He is inconsistent and could be out of the running after nine holes but the course appears to suit his game and I think the price is more than fair. Mikko Ilonen 50/1 Mikko has four top 25 finishes from five starts this year & should go close in this event with a lower quality field. Scott Hend 45/1 I like Hend and this is a course where he does well. His last four finishes here have been 28th, 3rd, 7th & 2nd (last year). He is in decent nick and can go one better this year. Chapchai Nirat 80/1 A decent record on this course & showing decent form on the Asian Tour. Should give a good run at a decent price. Angelo Que 200/1 Liked the look of him when he finished 13th at Hong Kong last October. A decent run at this price. I quite like Uihlein & Wattel as well but have skipped them here. I have backed Hend (40/1), Wattel (50/1), Nirat (66/1) & Que (150/1) for FRL. Good Luck! Valspar Championship Looking back at previous years, there appears to be a pattern that players that win here have often done well previously, more so than in many events so that is the angle I am taking here. The course is interesting and seems to favour thinking golfers. It appears that it is a question of picking up your shots on the par fives and playing safe on the other holes and that a score of -10 should be enough to take home the trophy. The betting is headed by Speith, Stenson, Willett, Oosthuizen, Reed & Thomas. Speith isn't quite right atm, Stenson hasn't won in ages, Willett probably needs a couple of rounds on the course, and I don't think the course suits Oosthuizen or Thomas, meaning there is a bit of value elsewhere. Patrick Reed 30/1 Reed was runner up here a year ago, losing in a Playoff to Speith. He has five top ten finishes (including two seconds) in his last ten events and is better suited on this course than the players above him in the betting. Harris English 35/1 English was on my long list for this event due to two top ten finishes here in the last three years. He jumped to my short list after an impressive performance last week, finishing 10th in the WGC event. He is well suited to this course & won an Amateur event here back in the day. Kevin Streelman 66/1 This is an excellent price for a player who appears to love this course. He won here in 2013 so meets that criteria and is in decent nick with three top twenty finishes from four starts this year. John Senden 125/1 When you look at course form, Senden jumps off the page at you. He was runner up here in 2007 & 2008 and won here in 2014. Seeing the price, you would assume that he had gone badly downhill in recent times but he finished 10th last time out at the Honda Classic so could be set for a good run here. Harold Varner III 250/1 I'll admit this is a bit of a punt but so was Bezoudenhuit when he got second at the same price. I like the look of this guy and feel that a top three finish could be just around the corner. Others that just missed out were Jason Dufner, Ryan Moore, Webb Simpson & Gary Woodland.
