2013 Shell Houston Open Betting Preview and Tips

Winner Alright: Last week we tipped Tiger Woods and Keegan Bradley on the PGA Tour and Kiradech Aphibarnrat to win on the European Tour

Keegan Bradley 14/1

sex panther[5]  Tied third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational after struggling to get his distances zeroed in with the irons. That makes it three top sevens in a row for Bradley following good showings at the Honda and WGC Cadillac. Suffered a power lip out in the final round at Bay Hill too; with greens measuring 13 on the Stimp at Redstone, Brad going to have to hit them a tad easier. My tip of the week.

 

Henrik Stenson 50/1

henrik stenson_thumb[2] This is Henrik’s third trip to Redstone. He tied third in 2009 when Paul Casey won and tied 18th last year on his return. Stenson played well in Europe at the tail end of last season, winning in South Africa and scoring a top 10 at the DP World Championship but is only now finding that form again in the US. The straightest driver on shotlink last week and second in GIR, Stenson is only one good putting week away from a win.

 

Phil Mickelson 16/1

philmickelson_headWhat makes Phil shoot eight over and miss the halfway cut at Bay Hill? Hell knows. But his odds have drifted and that’s good for us. For the first time that I can remember the Houston Open is not being held the week before The Masters, but the course is always set up as a mock Augusta. It measures 7441 yards, within 10 yards of Augusta and has wicked fast greens. Little wonder then that Phil won here in 2011 and tied fourth last year. Don’t write Lefty off just yet.

 

Jimmy Walker 50/1

His clip of top 30 finishes in seven of his last eight event is very impressive, even more so when you see top five finishes at the likes of Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach and a tied eighth last week at Bay Hill even with a poor final round. Walker’s field topping driving distance may be crucial on Redstone’s devilish set of par fives where collectively the field couldn’t average under par last 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 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...
