    I had 1pt on each and 2 on Bryson (I don't post the staking plan because it's people's decision what they do, probably different if you're putting 50p on or a fiver or £100). If they both place (which they now should/will) then it'll be a profit on the tournament but probably not on the week unless Rahmbo pulls something out.

    I managed to put less on finau than rose (really irrelevant now) and made Tony the same as your outside shots. Oh well. Good tips anyway.

    Never change, Tony. Sniffs the lead and his arse completely goes on 16 and 17.

    Decent shouts yet again. Cheers Jim.

    My Bet 365 balance is looking pretty mega lately. £508.88 at the moment, with a couple of horses running later.

    Will be interesting to see this Bezos horse run tonight (21:03 Santa Anita) cos I’ve fallen victim to the hype and backed him 5pts EW for the Kentucky Derby.

    Pebble Beach

    No European tournament for a few weeks now so just the US event per week in February. This run begins with a bit of a silly tournament and not the best use of one of golf's greatest venues, but this year it should be better as the Ams are not there and so you don't have the six hour rounds or having to endure Bill Murray doing the same unfunny shtick he does in all of these things. On to the actual tournament and the field is surprisingly weak this time around as many of the top boys take a breather before the run of quality tournaments coming up. Not so for Dustin Johnson who travels over 13,000 miles from his blood-soaked win in Saudi to play here. We are on him this week even at the skinny odds offered - as with Casey the other week, I'm taking the 'Air Miles Margin'. Cam Tringale and Wyndham Clark have been backed in recent weeks with no joy but come up again here and I'm willing to run the gauntlet with them once more.

    D.Johnson 7/2
    Day 25/1
    Tringale 50/1
    W.Clark 66/1
    Rodgers 150/1

    All e/w.

    Scratch above, there has been a whole tranche of withdrawals including DJ and Clark. I'll go again later when the new field is confirmed.

    Word seems to be it's because it's forecast to be a bit cold, which just about sums up American golfers.

    Pebble Beach Take 2

    Cantlay 7/1
    Day 18/1
    Tringale 33/1
    Rodgers 125/1
    Schenk 150/1
    McCarthy 150/1
    Ventura 175/1

    Haven't put 7 up in a long time, it's what happens in a star-free market. Spread those stakes. Cantlay is a bit of a cowardly pick but the computer likes him sans DJ, so there we are.

    Would think that is about right. He isn't a great fit for Augusta. Does his work on the accuracy courses.

    For what, the AT&T?

    Has a reasonable shot vs this field, I would want about 35-40 to back him, think he was less than that when I ran my numbers.

    Nice start for Cantlay and Tringale.

    Had a few sneaky sidebets outwith the computer on Donald and KJ Choi as they were both 500/1 and I was feeling sporty.

    You've jinxed them both for round 2.

    Never post how well a golfer is doing before the start of day 3.

    lol

    Neither round was particularly disastrous.

    I see Dufner's going well (well, well for 500/1) - he was on my long shot hit list of people I had heard of as well. Didn't go with him though, so apologies when he wins.

    The computer kept giving me Dufner for a spell in the summer/autumn, though it's gone off him of late. He is in a group of players I do keep an eye on because they need results to keep their card, which he hasn't been getting so far. The likes of Donald and Choi are just blown up vets really who can get starts forever in the silly exemption categories because they were once good.

    When did the Lincoln game get changed to tomorrow at 6pm? Swear it was 3pm. Only waiting on Hull to win with Dundee United/Norwich/Burnley/Watford paid out and then realised the Lincoln game wasn’t postponed and just a different time

    Got a few runners here but fear it might be a loss to Daniel Berger (straight vibin) and his slightly pornographic trousers.

    I could do with another four putts from him on the next tbh. Day and Boutros right on the cusp of place, part place or no place.

    I need Tom Hoge to not birdie the last part 5 to get a sliver of a place for my other boys, and we return from commercials to see his caddie climbing up a tree before they are both escorted back to the tee box on a cart. Love golf.

    EDIT: I made 8.84 back off the 10pts, so a fairly OK week depending on your staking, but a bit annoying only to get that given I had three scoring players.

    Genesis Invitational

    We're now at the start of a long run of superb tournaments and I think that of all the non-majors, this one is possibly my favourite American event. Historically this was just the 'Los Angeles Open' and as always it's held at the brilliantly evocative Riviera Country Club in Santa Monica. With the old-timey clubhouse, the vegetated hillsides and an authentic Hollywood feel, this is a lovely, compact but challenging venue with some great holes. The field this week is also exceptionally strong, and after missing Pebble last week, most of the world's top ten are back for this.

    The market is pretty tight this week, unlike last week when I felt it was a fraction sloppy. Our chosen top boy is Big Jon Rahm, who the computer absolutely loves but who hasn't really delivered when I've backed him in recent times. Let's hope that changes at this slightly heftier double-figure tariff. I'm also on 'young' Scottie Scheffler (who looks about 44), and some Aussie and Saffer longer shots. (late decision) we'll also stick with last week's placeman Cam 'Isosceles' Tringale for what seems like the 48th week in a row but whose solid golf is not being recognised by the oddsmakers just yet.

    Rahm 11/1
    Scheffler 40/1
    Tringale 70/1
    Smith 90/1
    Frittelli 150/1
    Schwartzel 225/1

    All e/w.

    If anyone has £5 or less in their paddy power, might as well put a bet builder on for Liverpool cos it’s risk free: https://promos.paddypower.com/promot...CRMLEPLIV1602P

    Angelino 2 shots was 10/1 when I did mine. 🤨

    Managed to get 5 of my 6 through the cut in LA but most of them a way back and there's the odd complicating factor of several big dogs having missed the cut and Sam Burns having a five shot lead. He showed definite arse-twitching tendencies when I was on him at Houston and he led at 36 and 54 (I think), hoping he hasn't learned anything and they continue.

    Today should be a great watch, conditions are absolute carnage and everyone's going backwards. Obviously DJ the man to beat but I wasn't expecting to have Cam Smith just 4 back from the lead here.

    Bloody Rahm always does this. Moops around for three days and pisses it on Sunday to finish 6th.

    Just need Cam not to blow up.

    Looks like 18.45 returned from 10pts this week on my stakes, so a good week. Next week is an absolute sweepstakes.

    +122.19% ROI in 2021 thus far. 3-10 from 53 each way selections.
