Well we've not been this close to negative territory for a long time so time to buckle down and get some pennies back in the bag. Yesterday I was late in getting the tips up so didn't post my 4-way accumulator on the golf. The fourth and final one was Tiger at 1/5 and at 3 down with 5 to play it was looking like the banker was going to do for me. But his class finally told and he won by a hole.
7.15 Westwood to beat Leonard 10/11 (LOST -0.22 - Lee shot -1 but an eagle at 10th took Leonard 2 holes ahead and he never let up from there)
Lee Westwood was never behind yesterday in his 3&2 victory, while Justin Leonard never lost a hole after the first in his 2&1 victory over Justin Leonard. But you only have to look at Ryder Cup records to see the comparison for today's tip. Lee Westwood is 4th in the all-time European winning percentage list with 14 wins and 8 ties from 25 matches. Justin Leonard is still searching for his first full point after 3 draws and 5 losses. The world seems to price Westwood at 8/11 but amazingly William Hills has the the Tricky Tree at 10/11. Take advantage
8.15 Taylor & Barneveld Double 1.04/1 (LOST -1.22 - Not just one losing, but both lost! Has The Power really lost it this time? Losing 8-3 to Peter Manley and with only Wayne Mardle below him in the table. And is The Bull back? Beating Taylor and Barney in consecutive weeks. This Premier League looked a done deal when it started but is now wide open, with only Jamie Wade looking consistent - 11/2 for the World Championships?)
Yes The Power may have lost last week, and yes he may still be struggling with those darts, but today is his easiest task to date and hence the 1/3 about him winning. I don't want to touch the handicap for the above reasons but he will win outright. And whil Jenkins upset Phil last week, Barney has crusied through three matches, winning them all 8-4. I don't expect tonight to be so easy, but I do expect a win at 8/15. Take the double to pay just over Evens.
