Golf

Disappointing day yesterday although Mike Weir got us some back. Brechin v Berwick was interesting as someone obviously had a big amount on as Corals were only taking £55 maximum bets. Hope it wasn't any of you who missed out. Just the golf today.

8.30 Weir to win Merecedes Benz Championship 6/4 (LOST +15.14 - Two early bogies meant Weir could only shoot -3 and finish 2 shots off a playoff spot)
As you know I've been watching Weir all week and he's been consistently good. His challengers are there after 1 exceptional round out of three whereas he ahs played three good rounds. i expect him to go on and win it tonight.

9.50pm Chuck Howell to beat Mark Calcavecchia 10/11 (WON +16.03 - Calc played well to shoot -5 but Chucky Threesticks went one better)
Chuck has been solid all week and although Calc has too, his back was stiffening up towards the end of yesterday's round, and he didn't look comfortable. On that basis alone he's worth taking on.

10.10 Vijay Singh to beat Brent Snedecker 4/6 (LOST +15.03 - Three birdies in last 5 holes meant Snedecker tied Vijay at -3 after Vijay had reached the mark after 11 but couldn't find any more)
Vijay hasn't quite justified his favouritism this week, but he'll be keen to sign off with a good round and should show his class against Snedecker.

Who needs a Racing Post after reading this ?
Legendary stuff big yin!!!!
Like the inside info, ie Calcavecchia got a dodgy back etc.
Have passed the link onto a few of the lads, keep up the good work.
