Still very open at the Deutsche Bank after the first round. More than happy with my players positions.

Jason Day 13/2 (Paddy Power) -3 Tied 11th (had the worst of the weather but still in contention)
Henrik Stenson 16/1 (Coral) -4 Tied 2nd
Robert Streb 60/1 (Paddy Power) -2 Tied 16th
Russell Henley 75/1 (Bet365) +3 Tied 71st
Ryan Palmer 90/1 (Paddy Power) -3 Tied 11th
Steven Bowditch 150/1 (Bet Victor) +5 Tied 84th
Bryce Molder 250/1 (SKY Bet) +4 Tied 80th (three birdies but two sevens & a six killed his chances)

Stenson, Day, Palmer & Streb are very much in contention although it is very close so still pretty open. The poor showing of several big names is a plus though with McIlroy & Dustin on -1, Rose on Level, Bubba & Oosterhuizen on +2 and Speith on +4.

In the US Tennis, Bencic went out to Williams last night but Wawrinka & Isner are still going well & both are in action today against Bemelmens & Vesely respectively.

Football

Not a great set of fixtures today so just two small bets.

Southend v Peterboro

This should be a low scoring match. 23 of Southend's last 25 home matches have failed to reach 2.5 goals. It is a risk following this trend after a team changes divisions but Southend have proved to be very consistent so far. Peterboro match up reasonably well with 7 of their last 8 eight dropping short of that line. Bet on Under 2.5 Goals at 1.96 (Betfair)

Oldham v Bradford

This is another match that should be low scoring. Five of the Latics' last six home matches have failed to reach 2.5 Goals while 8 of City's last ten away matches have fallen short of this line. Bet on Under 2.5 Goals at 1.81 (Betfair).

Good Luck!

I have added Petra Kivitova at 11/1 each way (SKY Bet/ Ladbrokes). She appears to be back to her best although it is either famine or feast with this girl. She has the perfect draw, avoiding the strongest players until the plays Halep in the semi final & Williams in the final if results go according to plan.
