2013 Tshwane Open Betting Preview and Tips

Jaco Van Zyl 14/1

Jaco-Van-Zyl_2790464No doubt will be amongst the short odds favourites by kick off on Thursday.  Just outside the top 10 at the Joburg Open, Jaco lost out narrowly to Darren Fichardt at the Africa Open and won a Pro-Am event in South Africa last week.

Andy Sullivan 38/1

It’s the 33 event of Andy Sullivan’s career and he’s had an absolutely fantastic start. Ninth in Qatar, 12th in Dubai and a top five at the Africa Open last time out.  While the big names are away, Sullivan could make hay!

Desvonde Botes 100/1

Very impressive to finish tied fifth at the Africa Open last time out given his first round of 74.  This copper leaf course is wide open off the tee but with a premium on hitting the small greens.  Botes was fourth in the GIR category at East London and at odds of 100/1 is worth a small each way flutter.

Best Of The Rest

Tour school winner John  Parry 120/1 was also in that tie for 17th at the Africa Open, making his first cut in three on his return to the main Tour.  Paz was the winner of the 2010 Vivendi Cup and on his day can contend again.

Jorge Campillo 120/1 shot a 63 on the Saturday at East London, and with a little more consistency can achieve a top five to pay out each way.  Scored a great top ten in Abu Dhabi HSBC last month after a poor first round.  One to watch.

Darren Clarke 100/1: Big Darren isn’t so big anymore! Physically I mean, he’ll always be a golfing legend. Darren has been running on the beach at Portrush and looks to be getting into great shape. Will this lead to a new lease of life on the golf course? We’ll see this week!

I’m biased here but I’m putting a euro each way on our GIR diarist David Higgins 260/1 who stayed on South Africa to practice for this event. Higgins was in contention all the way at the Africa Open but tying 17th and is sure to be that bit sharper on a course he says he’s comfortable on.

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...
