2013 Zurich Classic Of New Orleans Betting Preview and Tips

Zurich Classic of New Orleans, TPC Louisiana, Avondale, LA, Purse: $6,600,000

Early odds on the exchanges

Jason Dufner 19/1

dufnerIt has been a steady if unspectacular year for Jason Dufner but he seems to save some of his best golf for Louisiana every year. A tied 20th at The Masters and tied 35th at Hilton Head represent an improvement after missing the cut at Arnie’s tournament. Since tying for ninth in 2009, Jason has improved his result here on each visit since (T7 in 2010, T3 in 2011) culminating in a win last year.

Rory Sabbatini 120/1

rory sabbatini and fievel[6]Probably one of the most divisive players on Tour and certainly one of the most determined. Four of his six Tour wins have come between February and May but the South African is now only finding form again after missing 11 cuts between July 2012 and March this year. Tied for 30th in Peurto Rico, then 27th in Tampa before returning with a tied ninth at the RBC Heritage. Has a best of tied second at TPC Louisiana in 2009 when Jerry Kelly won.

Justin Rose 14/1

roseTied for 25 at The Masters with a weekend 75, 74 dropping him down the field after a promising start. However that still leaves Rose with 11 top 25 finishes in a row stretching back to the BMW Championship in September 2012. Tied second in Abu Dhabi and solo second at Bay Hill, a win must be coming soon. Tied 10th here last season.

Rickie Fowler 22/1

ricky fowler aged 7[16]Rickie starts his 95th Tour event this week and has one win on his CV at the Wells Fargo in May 2012. With three top 10’s already this season including a tied third recently at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, I think Fowler will win again soon. Faded to a 78 on Sunday at The Masters from being two under after three rounds. Let’s hope he has put that behind him. Tied 10th in 2012.

Best Of The Rest

Now 46 years old, Jerry Kelly (200/1) had his best result in some time at Hilton Head last week when he finished fifth. It begs the question, can he keep that form going for one more week given that he won on this course in 2009?

Cameron Tringale (48/1) is closing in on 100 Tour starts and with top 30’s in last four events including a best of third at the Tampa Bay Championship, he has to be considered a good each bet this week. Opened with a 65 here last year on his way to a tied seventh.

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...
