    He's done it. Beaten by a Finau win. I'll take the place money out of the bank and burn it, there's no coming back from this.

    I think he and I are going to have to go our separate ways now. Was in complete command for 67 holes of that tournament, then turned into a cunt for the last five.

    Fear not.

    BMW Championship

    The second event of the playoffs whittles the field down from 70 players to 30 for next week's finale at East Lake. Most of the big dogs are through this far but this is the point at which there could be some casualties. It's an important tournament for many because being in the final 30 gets you into all the majors next year; those who miss out will need to find other routes in. This year it's at Caves Valley in Baltimore, not a course that many players will have played. At first look it seems fairly interesting, with water and undulations. After last week's disgrace by Jon Rahm, who goes off this week at 11/2 (positively feline odds), the computer has apologised profusely and given me four different names all with much to play for.

    Scheffler 30/1
    Berger 35/1
    Casey 40/1
    Homa 125/1

    Omega European Masters

    With Rolex for once taking a back seat in the battle of the timekeeping megaliths, it's off to the Swiss Alps for what is visually perhaps the most stimulating tournament on the European schedule. Summer alpine landscapes provide the backdrop for a course with (as you might expect) a lot of uphill and downhill holes, and with decent cash on offer, the field is improved too: no PGA Tour players yet, as the playoffs continue, but the likes of Kaymer, Molinari, Wiesberger, Willett and new Aussie star Minwoo Lee arrive to bolster the competition strength. Absolutely none of this provides an excuse to put up Victor Dubuisson, but I'm doing it anyway.

    Rozner 40/1
    Willett 45/1
    Dubuisson 80/1
    Ed Molinari 80/1
    Zanotti 80/1

    Computer actually liked Sergio this week, but I know much better than to get involved in that sort of nonsense.

    Coley looks to have nailed it with Deesh and Cantlay.

    That we do.

    Tour Championship

    This is a weird and frankly quite stupid way to end the PGA Tour season (before the next one starts in literally 2 weeks' time). The 30 remaining players' season long points totals have been thrown in the bin as they finally arrive at East Lake in Atlanta for the season finale which pays out the massive money. Instead they begin with handicapped scores, so points leader Patrick Cantlay is on -10, second placed Tony Finau begins on -8, and so on. As such, the winner of the actual 72 hole tournament can and probably will be different from the winner of the Fedex Cup itself. My bets are on the latter, as the massive money pot for winning ($11 million, or whatever it is) is what will motivate these players. My selections are also extremely boring, but I think have the best chance to cover the winner while making a profit.

    Cantlay 7/2
    Rahm 7/2

    Italian Open

    This is a more standard event over in Europe and the field continues to get stronger as Ryder Cup qualification nears its end. There is quite a bit on the line here for the various runners and riders. A lot of the European team is probably locked in (including at least two of the captains' picks) but there is certainly one spot to be played for, if not two. Bernd Wiesberger's second place last week moved him into strong contention, just 200 or so European points behind McIlroy in the quite complicated standings that I am one of about 9 people in the world to have mastered. With Rory otherwise engaged it will only require about a top 8 or 10 for Bernd to climb above him and thus knock out Shane Lowry from the other list, who doesn't play until next week's decisive PGA Championship. There are others, like home boy Migliozzi, last week's winner Hojgaard, France's Victor Perez and a couple of others who could force their way into the reckoning with a win or 2nd place. It's surprising how often that happens at this time in the qualification cycle. Speaking of the Ryder Cup, this event is being held on the 2023 venue, the first look we've had at Marco Simone GC in real competition.

    Wiesberger 18/1
    Migliozzi 22/1
    Canter 66/1
    Meronk 80/1
    Van Tonder 90/1

    Done 2 bets:

    Ronaldo to score & Ronaldo to be booked
    His goal breaks the record so the tops coming off off. B365 says it’s 134/13, which is nonsense

    Filippo Celli to win the Italian Open EW 5 places 1000/1

    Fucked up results in Asia with Oman beating Japan (won $32) and S.Korea and Iraq drawing.

    Double on Saudi beating Vietnam and Aussies beating China at 0.7

    Van Tonder is doing his best to try and fall out of the places here.

    Meronk is making a serious push though.

    Another hollow victory for the methodology, they did all try to spew their guts out on 16 but found it on 18. Still, 80/1 place is nice.

    Nicolai swearing in the post round interview wins him points.

    Vietnam v Australia tonight (lunchtime for you). Australia are already better, however, Vietnam missing our best 2 defenders, and 3 or 4 players with Covid. It's going to be an ass raping of a lifetime. Australia 1/6, so not much value, however, some on the Over 3.5 and goalscorer market.

    BMW PGA Championship

    Only one event on this week (other than the US Ryder Cup captain's picks on Wednesday, which should be interesting) and to make things even more thrilling it's an event I'm going to on Saturday, Wentworth being only about 25 minutes' drive and about £2 million in house prices from my gaff. This is the 'flagship event', as they call it, of the European Tour and features one of the strongest European fields of the year. Not many yanks are coming over this time, although Billy Horschel does as he looks to build on his 4th place in the standings, and so is Viktor Hovland, who I would love to watch live so have to hope he makes the cut. Other than that it should be a good shootout between European golf's best on a familiar but difficult course. The subplot is of course Ryder Cup qualification. Shane Lowry is currently in the mayor's office for the final qualifying place, but the likes of Wiesberger, Perez, Macintyre, Migliozzi or at a stretch Detry could pass him with a win here. In Wiesberger's case, a top 10 would do it. Last year I had a winner here with Tyrrell Hatton, and I'm on a favourite again this time around.

    Hovland 15/2
    Fitzpatrick 18/1
    Korhonen 80/1
    Dubuisson 125/1
    Ramsay 125/1
    Aphibarnrat 175/1

    I'm on the Harry Souttar train. I'm expecting nothing but I can't turn down betting on a defender scoring a hat-trick.
