A week away for me this week so a very very short blog with 2 picks at the Barbasol and 3 for the Scottish open.
Firstly another weak PGA tour event at the Barbasol. I don't have time to go into detail but David Lingmerth seems to have overcome the putting yips and is a huge price so 1pt ew 100/1 8 places. I had Hayden Buckley in my tracker for last week but he withdrew for a rest so he is the main pick of the week at 35/1 4pts ew 8 places.
The Scottish Open as always presents a very strong field with most players honing their links game for next weeks open at the Home of golf. Some take to it, some don't, and many times there is no rhyme or reason so I'm having 3 small speculative bets.
My big fancy for next week goes into this weeks pot, Min Woo Lee is a birdie machine, a streaky golfer and a winner in Edinburgh in 2021 so he is always on the links radar. The Aussie is a temptingly big 80/1 8 places with bet365 so 3pts ew. Next up I had to pick between one of the Molinari brothers. I think anyone who knows golf will accept that for years Eduardo Molinari was the big hope for Italy, but his putting has really let him down for a decade now. Putting is such a huge weapon for links golf, and the greens may be slower this week at the Renaissance club with 15-25mph winds so I'm taking Eduaordo to be the better brother and I'll have him 1pt e/w 200/1 8 places. Finally another pick em fight between 2 brothers. Purely a pick on talent v price, a guy who is at the top end of most DP events is a huge 250/1. So I'm going for Nicolai Hojgaard 1pt e/w 8 places although Rasmus nearly got the nod at 170s.
Sorry there are no stats this week and i will update the profit and losses in the next few days. Have a good weekend.
