Ah me. After four hours of white knuckle fingers crossed, will he won't he, it was hard to smile at Monty's anguished "what sort of a shot was that" when he failed to make a simple par to win his first major. Boo.
In fact, if ever there was a good time to give up the punt, it's this week. All of the form horses are taking a rest in the US, including Rory Sabbatini who has won and finished top three at TPC Avenel twice in the last four years. Padraig is favourite this week and a neat summary of the strength of the field is that the best price you can get for rookie John Senden is 50/1. Maybe that'll look like value in four days time. Doubt it.
Our tiny, tiny investments this week go to a few old favourites and a proven winner. They are grinners after all. Brian Davis is a straight hitter and should enjoy this tight course. We still think he's a class above and with Avenel historically throwing up low scores, Goldfingers might just oblige at 100/1, as might JB. Can't not take the three figure odds.
Out of the weird box this week, we've taken the 270/1 about Chris Couch. He's won before, the majority of this lot haven't and er, that's it.
Low stakes people, save it up for the Howler at the Open. You can get 30/1 now.....
