2012 Barclays Singapore Open Free Golf Betting Preview and Tips

Sentosa Golf Club (The Serapong and The Tanjong courses)

Par 71’s 7,357 yards and 6,625 yards respectively

Winner Alright

Last week we tipped Ian Poulter to victory at odds of 20/1

Louis Oosthuizen 12/1

louis With Rory McIlroy in to 5/1 for this week, it’s hard to see any value there.  However Louis Oosthuizen at 12/1 is worth sticking with this week.  Why?  Two top sixes in his last two events, the BMW Masters and the WGC HSBC Champions bring his haul for the year to 10 top-10’s. That also includes two wins in Africa and Malaysia and I think Louis has the game to make it three in Singapore.  GIR merchants regularly feature here and so it proved last year when Louis tied third hitting 87% of his greens in regulation.  Had it not been reduced to 54 holes due to thunderstorms who knows how he would have fared as he followed his opening 72 with rounds of 63 and 65.  I think there’s a bit of finished business here this week for Shrek.

Adam Scott 10/1

adam If there’s a King of the Serapong Adam Scott surely has to be it.  The Aussie has been supporting this event since it was played on the Asian Tour and is a three time winner here in total.  That last victory came in 2010 when he beat Anders Hansen by three shots.  Tied for eighth again last week in the WGC after two top10’s in the PGA Tour playoffs,  Scott is loitering with intent.  He revealed this week that he thinks he’ll be just as good with the short putter should an anchoring ban be announced, but for this week expect to see plenty of yards of putts being holed by Scott.  He loves this place.

Fredrik Andersson Hed 90/1

Bear with me on this one. Every now and again a player catches my eye and this season it’s Freddie.  He has notched up seven top-10’s to date and come close at the Johnnie Walker (3rd) and the Omega European Masters (tied 2nd).  Showed well in fifth at the Alfred Dunhill Links also and after resting since Portugal could be one to watch.

Joost Luiten 70/1

When Joost Luiten got his win at the Iskandar Open most people thought he would kick on but it hasn’t quite panned out for him this season.  Second at the Wales Open is the only bright spot to date in 2012 but after steady performances at the BMW Masters and WGC HSBC  (26th, 36th) he’ll be looking for better this week after tying fifth last year. Long odds but worth an each way shout.

Best Of The Rest

J’be Kruger 100/1 is a talented if streaky South African.  He got his win at the Avantha Masters this season and showed well at the recent CIMB Classic coming eighth. However you’ll understand what I mean by streaky when you hear he shot an 83 last week at Mission Hills! If he’s in the mood, J’be can be dangerous.

Of the local Asian Tour contingent Thaworn Wiratchant has be respected at 150/1.  He won the Indian Hero Open an couple of weeks back (beating Richie ramsay in a playoff) and is a specialist on the Tanjong and Serapong. I think I’ll have a fiver each way at those odds!

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 t...

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 M...
