It's a much strong line-up at the Procore (aka Fortinet) Championship & the BMW this year - given the proximity to the Ryder Cup



It's rare that my ratings match up so strongly with the top ~10 in the betting markets

I'm going to go for these along with a high volume of head-to-head bets.

Victor Perez 5.00 Top 20
Keith Mitchell 4.33 Top 20
Mac Meissner 5.20 Top 20
Kevin Roy 3.25 Top 30
Chan Kim 5.00 Top 40

Talking to my brother who was up at the K club for Sundays finale and he said he was sitting in his car in traffic coming out of field after it was all done and didn't move 10 yards in an hour with all crowd leaving together but once he got out eventually he was home in two and a half hours .

Have a guess!

Have been lucky enough to play and be in Doonbeg a few times. Driving there on a normal day is a nightmare never mind trying to get there for an Irish open! It will be interesting to say the least. This is always the issue with Irish Opens and our links courses. People from the outside can’t get their head around why it’s not on in our south west courses and reason being because it’s a logistical nightmare!

Scheffler hunts Ben Griffin down on the last day for yet another win.

For the Ryder Cup, is there a case to be made for Europe to treat Scheffler like a special case in some way.

Like, instead of the traditional approach of trying to apply some game theory so that you match him up against your best player (Rory) - maybe actively try to avoid Rory playing him and try to match him with either one of your weaker players (...sends a bad signal I know) or someone high variance who, at least on his good days, could scalp someone as good as Scheffler?

Definitely need to put two men on him, and give him a good hard but fair shoulder as he's about to strike the ball. That should keep him down a bit.

The Baycurrent Classic (formerly the ZOZO) pitches up at a new course this year.

Hideki a good bet to prevail on home turf. William Hill have a 5/1 special for him to be top Asian, which looks decent value. Si Woo Kim is the only other Asian in the top 10 by my rankings (..with Kevin Yu also slipping in 9th position in the betting odds)

Also a great week to look for value in the head-to-head match-up market, because there's no cut.
