US PGA Golf – The cut & schadenfreude

10/08/2013 | By | Reply More

Full list of movers available on the forum, best return to a £10 stake, back to lay, was £466.19 on Robert Garrigus. He started at odds of 1000 and is now down to 85 after trading as low as 21 when battling for a share of the lead. Even at his cut price of 85 you would have returned £107.65.

For two tournaments in a row I have been too pessimistic, I need to find my positive thinking self help guides. Robert Garrigus came storming in on the second day to eight under, after eight on the second day. This is exactly the sort of thing we like, that combined with a few top players in trouble. Trading golf is the ultimate schadenfreude experience.

Justin Rose is at the head of English hopes having carded a 66  to go six under par. The weather played a part again today and Rose gave a good insight into how this affect his round. The pattern this year at this tournament appears to be to make the most of the front nine and then try not to make too many bogies on the back nine. Trading that would have earned you a few dollars so far. Woods hasn’t been able to pick much up on the front nine and is now one over and ten shots off the lead. Adam Scott touched 2.82 before Dufner carded an ‘awesome’ 63 to storm to 9 under. 63 is just one short of the record low score for a major, but it was a course record. It’s quite some score.

Dufner is two shots ahead and that’s enough to win the championship at this stage 64% of the time. The furthest back anybody has ever come at the cut to win is 9 shots, so Woods at one over is seemingly out of it. The winner will most likely come from the group that is four shots or less from the leader.
