Thomas Bjorn 10/1

thomas-bjorn[4]Five wins since February 2011 and the Dane is nailed on to be a vital cog in Europe’s Ryder Cup defence this year.  Deserved winner of the Nedbank in December for his trojan work throughout the season on the practice ground as anyone out there on Tour will tell you. If Bjorn can add his field topping GIR stats from last month to his third in putts per round from the 2013 Volvo Golf Champions he’ll be right in the mix.  At 42, the desire seems stronger than ever.

Jamie Donaldson 12/1

janmieWith home favourite Charl Schwartzel virtually unbackable at 3/1 the nearest I can find to value in the betting is Jamie Donaldson.  Five top 10’s in his last six tournaments of 2013 included a second in Turkey and a T2 at The Nedbank in December.  Tied for 16th last season thanks to a final round of 66, but has the measure of the Durban greens (T4 in putts per GIR). Bound to be rusty but still decent each way value.

Peter Uihlein 33/1

uihlein_thumb[2]How long we’ll have Peter on the European Tour is up for debate, but I feel this could be a great year for the young American.  Went off the boil for the big money events in Turkey and Dubai at the end of last season but returned with a T10 at the Nedbank in December.  Came out of the blocks well in 2013 and I expect the same this week.

Julien Quesne 40/1

quesneThe Frenchman put on a driving exhibition in Durban this time last year tying fifth.  Since then he has added four top 10s and a win at the Italian Open. Generous odds given his ridiculous stats on this course last season.

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
