and my 2013 US Open Tips here

 
The Course: TPC Southwind is a 7,239 yards, par 70 former dairy farm southeast of Memphis. Upgrade work in 2008 added yardage and Bermuda grass greens. The course consistently ranks among the top 20 in driving difficulty on the PGA Tour, and with relatively small undulating greens, the test doesn’t let up.

Robert Karlsson 40/1 Ladbrokes, 33/1 Paddypower

karlsson funnySad to see Robert’s decline as a real force on Tour but he still has the unenviable record of being unbeaten through 144 holes at TPC Southwind in 2010 and 2011, yet didn’t win. On both occasions the Swede was beaten in a playoff. Scored a fourth at Quail Hollow last month and gave a good account of himself last week at The Memorial.

Scott Stallings 33/1 Ladbrokes, 33/1 Paddypower

ScottStallingsSCStallings is a PGA Tour winner in each of the last two seasons and turned things around recently after a run of four missed cuts with a tied fourth at Colonial and another great performance at The Memorial last week. The form dog.
 

John Merrick 50/1 Ladbrokes, 66/1 Paddypower

merickIt’s always hit or miss with John Merrick, but he’s now a Tour winner, beating Charlie Beljan in a playoff earlier this year to win the Northern Trust Open. Merrick was second on his own at the St Jude Classic last year after his greenside birdie chip on 18 lipped out handing Dustin Johnson the win. Tied 26th last time out at Colonial.
 

Ryan Palmer 20/1 Ladbrokes, 28/1 Paddypower

palmerRyan Palmer is another player who’s swinging the club beautifully at the moment. Tied fifth at The Players and his tied 14th last time out at Colonial included a first round of 62. Recovered from a poor first round to finish tied third here last year.

Best Of The Rest

Kevin Stadler 100/1 has played solidly over the past two years and led the GIR stats in 2012. He has missed his past three cuts however, hence the generous odds. Camilo Villegas 66/1 scored his first top 10 in two years at the RBC Heritage and Colombian has had some good performances on this course. Tied third in 2011 and tied eighth the previous 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
