Tiger, tiger burning blue...

We're back, back (back!). Have to admit I get distracted during the 6 nations but a six hour stopover en route to the Land of My Fathers does wonders for the writers block. The tour's off to the Blue Monster in Dural and according to the experts we're going to see a win for Tiger, Phil or...Allenby? Eh? Here's a pop quiz. Which one of that trio can't putt for toffee?

Despite Tiger being Tiger and winning here over half the times he's turned up, he's just no odds for a 72 hole marathon. Not when you can get the same price for a place on the favourite in the Triumph Hurdle. And as for Allenby, I'm saying he'll be paired with Scott at the end of the tournament, possibly rushing breakfast on the final day.

I was really impressed with Lee Westwood last week. Striking it crisply, swinging back to his best, he's terrific value at 60/1. As is Justin Rose who despite form is never a 125/1 shot. But the real value, form and price is just dead obvious this week.

Vijay Singh finished tied eleventh and second in the last two years and has been in the top 10 at the CA Championship in five of his eight starts. Whilst he's been a bit Allenby like with the putter recently, he's currently ranked 10th in greens in regulation. Best of all, he's three times the price of the Fat Controller and 10 times the price of the King. Each Way? I should coco...
