2013 Johnnie Walker Championship Betting Preview, Tips and Predictions

Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, The Gleneagles Hotel, 22 Aug 2013 - 25 Aug 2013

Marc Warren 25/1

scot1Marc may not be super consistent but he has impressed greatly in some of the bigger tournaments.  A tied second at Wentworth in the European Tour’s flagship event is his best of the season but the Scot might point to his tied 12th at Oak Hill a few weeks back as probably his most satisfying result.  After opening with a 74, Marc posted three superb rounds in the 60’s.  A past winner at Gleneagles in 2007, Marc comes in this week on a high.

 

Stephen Gallacher 25/1

scot2Another Scot who made the Oak Hill cut was Stephen Gallacher.  A big winner at the Dubai Desert Classic early doors Stephen has had a rock solid season with only three missed cuts.  The Gleneagles expert with four top 15’s in the last five years, including tying for sixth in 2012 and 2011.

 

Brett Rumford 40/1

scot3The world’s hardest player to tip up!  Brett has missed his last three cuts and would have missed the other at the WGC if they had one, but I still think he has the game for Gleneagles.  Solo second last year and if I recall correctly that included having a triple bogey and two bogeys in four holes during his third round.  Brett was untouchable at The Ballantines and China Open in May so count him out based on form.  Also second here in 2010.

 

Bernd Wiesberger 20/1

scot4Didn’t play here last year (if I remember correctly) but tied for second in 2011.  Bernd is coming off missed cuts at The Open and US PGA, but has four top 15 finishes in his last five European Tour starts including a third at The Nordea and a tied fourth in Germany.  Has to be due a big win soon.

Thomas Bjorn 22/1

Tommy put in a huge effort to find a “W” earlier in the season but it hasn’t come yet.  This week however represents another real chance.  He won here in 2011 beaten George Coetzee in a playoff and tied 10th in his defence last year.  Had five top 10’s in seven events earlier in the season (including seconds in Austria and Germany) before running out of steam at Castle Stuart.  If he’s refreshed, Bjorn can win.

Best Of The Rest

If you a couple of long odds shots to watch for the progress of Gary Boyd at 300/1.  Gary has finished in the top 20 in the last three years and shot a 64 on Saturday last year.  Simon Wakefield was second to Marc Warren in 2007 and at odds of 200/1.

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
