Surprised I was the only one to pick Stenson. Been striking it great for the last few months and only withdrew due to illness last week.

I notice, like me you have gone for Kyle Stanley. Not a bad start from him.

When it comes to Ball striking he is second to none on tour at the moment and that's a fact.

If Stanley could make some putts he'd be top 25 in the World. He's great from tee to green.

yep, his putting averages are horrendous.

Horsey, hoey and pepperell carrying my hopes now - surely one will last the pace?!

BoRed · « **Reply #285 on:** March 10, 2017, 08:12:14 am »

Chopra made +12 since yesterday, and Gouveia withdrew.

dudleyred · « **Reply #286 on:** March 10, 2017, 08:16:28 am »

Some horror scores today -2 to +12 from one!!

Wouldn't be surprised if -6 wins it

Haha first round stats then on sky

56 7's
14 8's
8 9's

Buck Pete · « **Reply #288 on:** March 10, 2017, 09:26:37 am »

Go on SSP lad

Can't believe I was the only picker of him. He is a master when playing in his own country and has won on this course before.

Happy with Pigem's +1 second rd score too

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #289 on:** March 10, 2017, 09:28:07 am »

I thought this course would be way too long for Chawrasia. He averages about 260 yards off the tee, there's a par 3 longer than that!

Looks like it's actually more a test of accuracy though. The course he won on last year was a lot shorter and tighter so this is some effort from him.

Yep. all round game needed according to Lahiri who really bigged up Chawrasia before the event began in this article.

I didn't see this on the European Tour website before now but if i had i would have had more money on SSP than I already have.

Long way to go yet like and he could shoot an 80 tomorrow

A 67 doesn't sound that impressive out of context but when you look at the scores of those around him it has to be one of the best rounds all year. Just 7 players under par today and his round is by far the best. Good pick, Pete.

Cheers G. Long way to go and Manassero only just teed off his 2nd round. Play stopped for the day. Cabrera-Bello is looming too.

On the subject of Matteo Manassero, he's been in the golf wilderness for a while now. I remember a few years back he was tipped to be the next Tiger at a very young age. Obviously still a very good player but hasn't quite pushed to the next level yet like Rose, Fowler, Mcilroy etc.

Could this now get reduced to three rounds perhaps? They'll never finish Sunday if not

I'd say that's likely. I don't really understand why the European Tour immediately shortens its tournaments, while PGA events regularly end on Mondays.

Field here felt too big

They only lost 90 mins yesterday but some players had half a round left almost

Hopefully gets cut to theee rounds as will have half a chance then!

India a total bust for me. Not doing well in the Valspar either.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #297 on:** March 10, 2017, 11:55:03 am »

Back underway in India. Its half five over there now.

Not sure what time it gets dark out there. If they get another hour or two in tonight and an early start tomorrow we should be good for all 4 rounds.

Ah Bo i didn't think they would resume. But yeah..fake news indeed

I based my picks around Ball striking this week in the US and so nearly did Jim Herman who features in the top 10 of the current best ball strikers on the PGA tour. Bugger

BoRed · « **Reply #301 on:** March 11, 2017, 08:04:14 am »

dudley could be in for a great tournament here, with Pepperell, Horsey and Hoey all in the top ten, and Randhawa and Khrongpha making the cut, too. All of them will have their points doubled, of course

. Pete is the only other player with golfers in the top 20.

On the other hand, Gerry is the only one with players in the top ten at the PGA event, with both Hadwin (double points) and Stenson in the top five.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #302 on:** March 11, 2017, 09:15:17 am »

14:40 in India. Leaders just going out for Rd3. All being well looks like they will get all 4 rd's and a Sunday finish.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #303 on:** March 11, 2017, 01:17:50 pm »

Good from Hanson and Lahiri today, both are inside the top 20 now. If they post a 67 or 68 tomorrow they might sneak into the top 10.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #304 on:** March 11, 2017, 02:22:50 pm »

Paddy Power offering me £150 cash-out on SSP.

nah. Sod that.

Got Pigem EW. at a big price too.

Safe to say I will be ever so sick if i don't cash anything this weekend.

BoRed · « **Reply #305 on:** March 11, 2017, 08:24:42 pm »

The few hopes I've had are evaporating, I could easily end up without a single point this week.

Lovely work SSP. Just shy of £500 back

Need Pigem to sort his shit out for another 60 quid and 12 points.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #310 on:** March 12, 2017, 11:18:43 am »

Chawrasia has lapped the field here, he hasn't looked like losing this at any point. Hopefully Hadwin can put in another solid round, I really have to start backing these long shots, especially PGA ones.

Another nice finish for Pep Angles I see. Only a matter of time I'd guess.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #313 on:** March 12, 2017, 11:46:28 am »

Angles makes more birdies than just about anybody. If he went bogey free all week he'd have finished on 20 under, Chawrasia would only be -16 without bogeys. He just needs to become more consistent and then he'll win.

I guess you could have done without Pigem's double bogey on the 18th. On the plus side, it earned Gerry and me three extra points. Not that it saved me from dropping to the bottom of the table.

You have Glover currently tied for 7th, and Stanley could still sneak into the top 20.

Get in there, Adam. Did well to hold it together after a double on 16! Picked him twice this year at 100/1 and he's finished 1st and 2nd, not bad

BoRed · « **Reply #319 on:** March 12, 2017, 10:14:37 pm »

Gerry's massive points haul sees him retake the lead, having won more points on Hadwin this week than I managed in total at the last six events.
