Re: USPGA (US Tour) Live On Sky

First thing when betting on the PGA is you may as well rule out any Europeans to win as none have ever won this before. In a sport with such a load of horses to look at thats a pretty nice stat and it cuts out a lot of players to look at. Obviously a european could win but since none have in 85 years or whatever im not gona try and pick one out!

Ive gone for VJ Singh (33/1), Zach Johnson e/w (66/1) and Geoff Ogilvy (113/1). All look good value to me at those prices. This is VJs favourite, hes won the PGA twice before and its about time he pushed for a major again, hes in good enough form to do it in general. Johnson after a bit of an injury halted his excellent form is looking good again now I think. I think he might actually be an awesome player but only time will tell whether he wins more majors but I think he will. Ogilvy is just long for a very good player who has won a major recently, hes not a 1 hit wonder as such hes done well in a few of them.

Im sticking with 3 bets I made for the US Open exactly the same which are all Top 5 bets, Justin Rose (7/1), Tim Clark (11/1) and Chris Di Marco (12/1). All have continued or furthered their form since that and have good major pedigrees. Tim Clark has finished 2nd, 2nd, 6th in his last 3 events. Rose has just been quality this season (4 top 5s from 11 events this season) finishing right up there a lot without actually winning. Di Marco looks to have got his game back again lately.

One Top 10 bet ive made is Steve Stricker (6/1). I dont see why hes that big at all. After returning after a few years of nothingness hes been top notch the last 2 seasons. For the last 2 seasons in all events has finished 13/35 finished top 10. His last 5 majors have gone 6th, 7th, missed cut, 13th, 8th. It shouldnt be 6/1 going on all that form over the last 2 years or so.
