I have Lowry and Mickleson backed. Mickleson at 140/1 was irresistible. He played well last week.
I missed that. Whatās he said?
Yeah. Thatās Lowry fucked
Course sets up for players that draw the ball. Will prob do Fleetwood if Iām having an outright bet but will try and stick to the 3balls first.
Makes me feel a bit better about knocking it out 170 when itās 6 degrees and windy in February.

Itāll suit Roryās eye so. Probably the best drawer of a ball in history off the tee
170 carry. 168 total. Back spin with the driver. Bombs

First tee ball is due out at 3pm Irish time with the last one at 22.42. Coverage on Sky begins at 6pm and ends at 3 in the morning. 9 hours of it.

Itās feels cooler due to the humidity, around 90% in the mornings at least. The course is next to a lake and 2 miles from the ocean, the rough will be miserable especially in the mornings.

Aye Iām listening to Harringtonās preview now. Rory win only maybe is the way to go. He was very negative on Koepka.
Koepka is a different beast in a major. He thrives on it. I wonder if the lack of crowd will hinder him? He seems to be a lad who thrives off the energy of a major. Woods might be similar actually. Where will he get his competitive buzz and energy?
Koepka has admitted to this, he loves the crowd and the energy off themā¦ I donāt know. Thereās zero value whatsoever in the top of the betting. You couldnāt back Rory on his form but you still couldnāt rule him out either
With you 100% on that one Faldo. Morikawa is no bad bet and there are plenty from 40/1 to 90/1 who are worth a shot in the circumstances. Wouldnt be surprised to see Bubba do ok as an example although he hasnt set the world alight recently.

Woods and Lowry are big prices at 90s and 40s also.
Yea. Lowry is a funny one.
He wont mind the weather and was ok last week but not sure he is there yet in terms of the levels he reached last year. I do think he could make the cut and if things fall right make a top 10.
Re Woods, all down to the body imho. If he holds up heāll be in the reckoning Sunday as he excels in these circumstances.
Lowrys caddy only arrived back last week too so thatās noteworthy.
