Quick one – US Open

By

I am going to back Dustin Johnson to hold off a Tiger charge tonight at the even money generally available.

I can’t justify this price for Johnson given that he was been victorious at  the AT&T championship at Pebble Beach for the past two years – a feat not to be underestimated.

We have all heard 1,000 times how Tiger has never won a major when trailing on the last day.  Although I don’t put too much weight on such hollow statistics, I do still feel this Tiger is somewhat “wounded” and don’t believe he is yet ready to win again, particularly from behind on the final day.

I think Johnson needs a round of 70 to guarantee the title today and I am going to back him to hold his nerve.

BOTW: 4pts on Dustin Johnson to win the US Open @ evens

    Evening Ben – Almost all of the evens has gone now too, moving in to 10/11 and some even lower.

    A positive sign.

    Wow. Didn’t get too much for my money there…

    Turns out “Course Mastery” < “US Open Kahunas”…

    I have been burnt once before backing a lesser established player going into a final day.

    Lesson re-learnt.

    Yep, and you took my money with you :(

    I have not had that feeling for a while, where you feel you have totally been done for your money.

    82 FFS he rounded a 82, that could not of gone worse
