2014 South African Open Betting Preview and Tips

Ross Fisher 14/1

4His chances at the Tour Championship effectively ended on Thursday with a poor opener, but still with five top 10’s in his last eight starts, Fisher will be one of the big fish this week at Glendower.  I firmly believe if Ross can get his win; he can make a Stenson like return to the big table of golf.

Darren Fichardt 33/1

With Charl unbackable at 4/1 I’ve had to look elsewhere for value.  Darren is one of my favourite South African players, especially on home soil.  Won the 2013 Africa Open in February and nearly repeated the feat at the Tshwane Open the following week.  A good top 10 in Munich was the highlight of his year in Europe and impressed with rounds of 64 and 65 in his T15 in Turkey.

1 Darren has finished par or better in each of his six events since being DQ’d in Switzerland and at home will surely again be a danger man.

Alejandro Canizares 33/1

5When he shot 73 on Sunday at the Turkish Airlines Open after three great rounds we concluded it was unfortunate; when he shot 75 on Sunday at the Tour Championship we began to worry.  I’m looking on the bright side however; Canizares is playing great golf, he won’t be in the same exalted company this week and has the tools to produce a good result here.  Surely lightning wont strike three times?

Thomas Aiken 33/1

2The Avantha Masters winner back in March had quite frankly a poor 2013 season after by his standards.  However there were good signs in Turkey a couple of weeks back when Thomas got it to 15 under, and tied 15th, his best result in some time.  Third last year behind Stenson and big George at Serengeti, this short Glendower track will be right up his street.

Long Odds Sneaks

3Carlos del Moral 80/1, Mikael Lundberg 250/1

Spain’s Carlos del Moral was simply sensational on the Tour and Stadium courses at PGA de Catalunya last week at Q School and if he still has some of that euphoria pumping through his veins is well worth a sniff at 80/1.  Mikael Lundberg also won his card at the school and all he needs is a sign in “Russian” to get him in the mood!

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
