They've finally recognised that Shane is one of the top golfers in the world.

 

[J.R.R. hartley]

Sunjae, Corey & Windmill e/w for me m8s.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Paddy giving 10/1 Rory to win in shop. Mac bet ten, but still massive value on the 4/1 that's flgenerally available.

Also going 200/1 on the grand slam.i donated 5 euro to paddy.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Backed Xander and Justin Thomas myself. 16/1 and 14/1, 12 and 10 places respectively

Corey Connors in the first round leader market at 60/1, 6 places.

 

[hurlingben]

McCarthy 100/1
Im 55/1 10 places

Up Lowry

 

[Philby]

Here are my picks.

I might also sprinkle a few more longer odds 'back to lay' options in the Winner market.

If we smash the golf statistics up against the Betfair Exchange odds, which golfers jump out as being worth backing…?

I've employed the "top right" philosophy and backed MacIntyre and Rai on the nose to win, at massive prices.

I fully expect to win.

Paddy Hamilton leads.

Can he hold on?

Decent start. 4th and 9th respectively.

CASH OUT NOW YOU NUTTER!!

FWIW I have a vague anecdotal feeling that Rai has a tendency to start well in high-class events but often tails off.

Overall it was a fairly underwhelming first round for the big names, but there's not a lot of quality in the top 20 after round 1 so you could see a fairly swift separation of wheat from chaff today & tomorrow, with a fair few big names well within striking distance.

Matt Fitzpatrick -3
Hatton -3
Scheffler -2
Hovland -2
Fleetwood -1
Morikawa -1
Rahm -1
Aberg -1
Bryson E
Xander / Hideki / Reed +1

Rory has form for recovering from bad first rounds but giving up 5 shots to Scheffler in round 1 is borderline fatal.

Sorry to derail from the PGA championship discussion and not sure is this the correct place to ask but does anyone have any recommendations for golf lessons in Cork? TIA
