    Speaking of unbelievable displays, little Brian Harman is tearing it up.

    4 holes down and he's now birdied 7 in a row to lead by 2.

    Add Scheffler in place of one if that clash worries you.

    Oh and in the matchplay Scheffler/Kuchar is being played at a far too leisurely pace.

    Not doing the star spangled as a winning song but we can have a nice upbeat Joel tune.

    2021 record now 4 and 17 from 110, and RoI +104.12%

    I've been dipping in and out of the WGC and Scheffler is seriously fucking annoying.

    They need to tell him to stop spending about half an hour for each shot.

    Pace of play is the biggest issue in the game, but especially the PGA Tour do nothing about it because they're player-run and scared of pissing off their pampered pros who like to take their time with money on the line.

    Certain players (JB Holmes, Jason Day, sometimes Spieth) are absolutely brutal for it. DJ on the greens as well, horrible to watch.

    Scheffler and Kuchar took close to 4 and a half hours for their semi-final which to me seems mental (I don't know if that's in an acceptable range but the commentators were moaning too) considering there was only one other group playing on the course and they were 2 holes ahead at least.

    For a 2 ball in matchplay it's absurd (matchplay is quicker as everyone doesn't hole out). The excuse is they're tired or whatever, I don't buy it. They're just well used to playing as slowly as they like with no penalty. You won't see it at Augusta in a couple of weeks, as there are no greens books.

    McGinley loves sticking the boot onto the Americans.

    Texas Open

    Only the one tournament this week which is the national open of the lone star state. This is always a bit of a low key event, often coming in the lead up to the Masters, as it is again this year. Augusta's next week (I am working on some finely honed selections for that this year, sigh) and most of the top names give this a miss, but others prefer to tune up on the course: DJ is here, as are leading Texans Spieth and Scheffler. The course I always find fairly uninteresting, but what it does offer up is a final last-gasp Masters invite for the winner, and those players are who the computer is looking at this week.

    Steele 33/1
    Davis 50/1
    Howell III 55/1
    N.Taylor 125/1
    Hoag 175/1
    D.Lee 200/1

    Thanks for another win Jim, lets hope DJ pulling out gives the computer the edge. Odds only look to have been cut on the favourites.

    I found myself reading Kezman's wikipedia page and it's seems he fancies himself as a bit of a Jimmy.

    Kezman found his calling by consistently predicting the top 3 performing golfers in any given tournament. In a recent interview he stated “Although I enjoy the winnings, it’s just a reminder that form is temporary and class is permanent”.

    If class was permanent then Jack Nicklaus would still be up there. Try again, Mateja.

    I'm doing my Masters work at the moment. Doing (for my own benefit but you might as well have it too) a full Grand National style field preview. Here's RP's line: Palmer 125/1. Bit too vanilla as a golfer to do well at Augusta. If he ever fluked a major, could see it being a US Open.

    Shoddy week in Texas, but Masters BUMPER preview will be posted up probably tomorrow morning depending on who wins this later.

    The Masters

    The best (or maybe second/third best) week in golf is back around quickly after last year's wet, foggy, delayed November edition. The spring light and flowers will be back, but there is always a cloud here, and if it isn't Covid this year, it's the backdrop of political tension in Georgia following legislation to change voting laws there, which is widely perceived as an attempt to restrict the black vote (Georgia went blue in November). Many from outside sport have called on the PGA Tour to remove the Masters from Augusta; those people clearly don't know anything about how golf works, as this tournament has nothing to do with the PGA Tour and is owned and run by Augusta National Golf Club, an organisation which hardly seems likely to remove the tournament from Augusta National Golf Club. Still, it's possible that there may be some kind of protests and/or disruption, although I doubt it - they take zero shit at ANGC.

    On the course, all the big names are here as usual along with the qualifying invitational field; most players qualify by being in the world's top 50 or by winning a PGA Tour event in the last year. Dustin Johnson defends, while an out-of-sorts Rory McIlroy will once again be looking to complete the career grand slam with a win. There are 18 former winners in the field; Tiger Woods is of course missing as he recovers from his, shall we say, mysterious car crash last month. Another notable absentee is Rickie Fowler, who has failed to qualify, and so misses his first major since 2010.

    We are now back on the normal major schedule, so this is the first of the four this year: the others will be the PGA at Kiawah Island, the US Open at Torrey Pines, and finally the Open at Sandwich.

    Right, gtfo all of you fruity cretins, we're reclaiming this thread for tomorrow to celebrate Liverpool at 2.7.

    I've had to dust off the betting account and just to warm up I stuck a BTTS accy in the champ which was a 92nd minute missed Blackburn penalty away from yielding a Ł700 return.

    Anyways, yeah, liquidate all your assets for tomorrow promises scenes. Whether we take the plunge for a -1 at 5s is something we can ponder over the next 24 hours.

    Must have had a moment of great clarity overnight as was going to spunk heavy on -2 @ 11 this morning but unfortunately I've had my account restricted as they realised my -1 @ 5 bets are about to bankrupt them so alas, just -1 for me.

    I've heard that some sites are quite slow to update goals in leagues such as V.League. There was a game at the weekend where a goal went in, and my mates app still had cash option for a good 3-4 seconds. Hoping to capitalise on that.

    EDIT: We were at the game, so saw it live.

    Declare your Grand National bets. It’s this afternoon at 17:15.

    I’ve gone big on Cloth Cap, cos all things well he should win.
    Failing that, Kimberlite Candy winning would be magnificent.
    I also have a small bet on Any Second Now.
