I did have a wee chuckle when I was crossing my fingers to see someone like Johnson on there and Daly's chubby coupon popped up on my screen.

Average score today was a +4 74 so basically if anyone you backed went round in +2 or better then that was a good opening round.
Let me take a gander through how the 7 guys I backed are getting on...

To win Ive gone for VJ Singh (33/1), Zach Johnson e/w (66/1) and Geoff Ogilvy (113/1).
|
Singh +5, Johnson +4, Ogilvy -1.
Singh and Johnson had similar rounds, both did well bar random slips, Johnson with 2 double bogeys and VJ with a double and a triple bogey

. I still think Johnson could pick up, not impressed with VJ though he only made 1 birdie. Well pleased with Ogilvy though sitting pretty on -1, 7 birdies and 6 bogies for him today!

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).
|
Rose Par, DiMarco +9, Clark +12.
2
absolute nightmares and a good round. May as well forget about DiMarco and Clark, they wont make the cut, those are disgusting scores. Clark did the back 9 in +9

Rose continues to go well though and Par puts him right in the mix.

One Top 10 bet ive made is Steve Stricker (6/1).
|
Bad round from Stricker on +7. Hes gona have to shoot under par to make the cut tomorrow so have to wait and see. Wont hold my breath though but since its a top 10 bet if he does sneak the right side of the cut thered still be legs in it.
