We're back to the old dilemma. Do we back Tiger at 3/1 now or wait till he shoots 74 on day one and take the more generous 5/1? Or do we wait till 36 holes are under our belt?The answer of course is a bit of both. We'll wait till tomorrow on Tiger and pick the best outsider on Saturday morning. For now we'll concentrate on fidning the winner of the "betting without Tiger" market. Our criteria are obvious. Must be able to win under pressure. Must know how to hit it straight and long. Be nice if he's a good price too.
It's the last criteria that knocks out Phil, Sergio, Furyk and Casey. But I reckon three of them can't win anyway. Like Adam Scott (who he?).
My three tentative choices are ludicrously sentimental. My three poms against the rest are Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Graeme McDowell. They've all shown enough to suggest they'll be up for this and at 75/1 plus, great value. I've also had a micron on James Nitties. 790/1 was just too hard to resist.
We'll be back at the weekend, hopefuly just before the Lions put De Wet Barry's countrymen in their place. Not a moment too soon.
I'm tired of Tiger. No arguing his immense talent, but enough, I'd like to see other players on TV. I don't need to see EVERY one of Tiger's shots.
ReplyDeleteOh, but to stay on your topic line, I'd back the field against Tiger. You're quite a psychic, as Tiger DID shot 74 on Day One.
