    Webb Simpson withdrew with a neck injury literally on the first tee box. While since I've had that one. Guess it's all down to Big Tony.

    Do they do that to get a paycheck (as in tennis)?

    I'm guessing he didn't tee off as he's been replaced by someone else.

    Not on this occasion as he actually withdrew and was replaced. However I can remember a time when Joost Luiten walked up to the first tee injured, teed up, tapped the ball with his driver and then immediately withdrew in order to add an event for Ryder Cup eligibility or something. Made him popular with whoever the next guy for the field was.

    Couple of quid on Aubameyang/Fernandes 2+ goals double and 3+ goals double respectively. Just for interest.

    Tapio in for 3rd. My penance is I have to spend the evening supporting Darth Reed in his bid for a high finish in Quail Hollow.

    Quality result. I wasn't sure he'd make a full place due to the massive pack behind Higgo.

    Scummy place run befitting of Patrick Reed has come in, hope you got 8 places as I did for a full place.

    Byron Nelson

    Named after the 5-time major champion from the wartime years, this tournament has had many homes and this year it largely serves as a warm-up for the PGA Championship next week. It's also on a new course at Craig Ranch (why can't Americans pronounce 'Craig'?) which few of them will have seen before. Often in this sort of pre-major event, the bigger names are more concerned with the process than the result. The 'big four' here - Rahm, Bryson, Spieth and DJ - do not appeal at single digits. Instead I look to those who would benefit most from victory. Many are looking for their first win, and there are only 11 events left in the promotion/relegation style dogfight of earning your card for next year too. With a top 125 finish needed to stay on Tour, many in the field are some way short of that. For others, a win or a top 2 will be needed just for a berth in the major championship coming. I'm plumping for a couple of winless young guns at the top of the market, and some meagre coin sprinkled around five longer shots.

    Scheffler 22/1
    Zalatoris 25/1
    Ghim 80/1
    Vegas 110/1
    Sloan 250/1
    Hoag 300/1
    Campos 500/1

    British Masters

    Possibly the more intriguing event of the week is the European Tour's return to Britain, and to a classic venue too, with the British Masters this year being played at the Belfry. This will be a rare example of a top tour event taking place on a course that I have played. In fact, I've had three separate attempts at the Brabazon course on which this tournament will be staged and after each one I hated myself, golf and life in general - it's too long and too tough for a poor player like me. These guys, though, should find it a relative breeze, as is often the case when golfers with modern technology take on a classic design whose main defence is the possibility of wind. Holes such as the short par 4 10th and long par 4 18th are stone cold classics that older viewers may remember from Ryder Cups past. The field is slightly better than the recent island events, with additions like MacIntyre, Willett and Detry upping the ante slightly. NB: Wednesday start and Saturday finish for this one.

    Donaldson 40/1
    Canter 40/1
    Syme 50/1
    Kawamura 80/1
    Korhonen 80/1
    Moriarty 1,000/1

    It's slightly showboating after the 300/1 third place at the weekend but, you know, trust the process. He arrives in good form having won the 2007 FirstPlus Wales Challenge.

    I was going to say, you join the firm after 6 months of 105% return on investment, so from here I'm afraid the only way is down to a sustained cold run and massive losses.

    Bob Mac hard to beat from here.

    Richard Bland, up there sharing the lead, is an intriguing sporting story, to me at least. Named 'Richard Bland', 48 years old, from the bland nation of England, plays the bland sport of golf. Has played 477 career tournaments on the European Tour. Zero wins. His last tournament win at any level was twenty years ago. Qualified for 2 majors in 25 years as a pro, missed the cut at both. Career earnings: 5.5 million euros (so an average annual salary of around £200,000 over his career).

    Christ that's a nice life if you can get it.

    Morally they all owe Eldrick about 2/3rds of their lifetime earnings. It's probably the same with Ronnie really.

    Bland at 80/1 is tempting (4 places though).

    Rest of the pack dropped off the face of the earth (apart from Korhonen)
