2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting Preview and Tips

Keegan Bradley 25/1

War with Keegan[4]He is just too consistent not to win soon. It’s hard to believe that this is only his 65th career start and already he has three wins including a major. Keegan followed a tied fourth at The Honda Classic with a seventh at the WGC-Cadillac. Americans have won the first 12 events of the PGA Tour season; if it’s to be 13, it could be Keegan.

 

Tiger Woods 4/1

kim jong ilShould you back Tiger Woods this week? Well he has won the event seven times, is the defending champion and is coming off a victory at the WGC Cadillac. He’s in a good place personally too. There is only one caveat. Even in winning, Woods driving is still suspect and long straight batting is a must for winners at Bay Hill. If he hits the fairways, he wins.

Graeme McDowell 25/1

GMac Funny[4]Top 10’s in his last two events with a ninth at the Honda Classic and a tied third at The WGC Cadillac. GMac is ramrod straight with that Cleveland driver and displayed a fantastic touch with the flatstick at Doral. That will be critical on the Bermuda grass greens at Bay Hill which will touch (US Open speeds) of 12 and over on the stimp. Graeme shot a second round 63 in the second round last year and though he closed with a disappointing 74, he still took second spot behind Woods. My tip of the week.

 

Sergio Garcia 20/1

sergio-garcia-flips-off-reporterSergio thrives when the scoring is tough. Put simply, of the world’s elite over the past few seasons, there’s nobody better (combined) tee to green than Sergio, but there’s not many who struggle as much to convert chances. However that’s all changing this year with the Spaniard again appearing in the top 10 strokes gained in putting at Innisbrook. That led to his third top 10 of the season. A recent best of eighth here in 2011 when Martin Laird won, but Sergio has five other top 10’s in his career at the venue.

 

Best Of The Rest

Ryan Moore is a streaky player with a best this season of a fourth in Phoenix and a worst of an MC last week in Tampa. However he does tend to perform on the tougher tracks and tied fourth last year. He’s available at 66/1. If Kevin Streelman won last week there’s no reason why Brian Harman cant make us a few quid this week. Played well in Tampa last week for his first top 15 finish of the season. Started with a 77 last year but finished with a brilliant 68 for a T15 finish last year.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
