Gregory Bourdy 28/1

Gregory went to Switzerland the week after winning in Wales but took a well deserved rest last week while the others battled it out in Holland. The Frenchman has done well here for the past couple of years; he finished just outside the top 10 in 2011 and tied third last year. Traditionally one of the easiest layouts of the season for these guys, the putting contest should suit Bourdy.

David Horsey 33/1

I’m a Horsey fan and delighted he’s coming back into form. David had a good run in late March and has come strong again with four top-25’s in his last five events. Breaking into the top 10 at the KLM Open last week was significant for him too. Narrowly lost out to Freddie the Hed in 2010, so knows how to go low on this course.

Gary Boyd 150/1

I love when I see some long odds value and think I’ve spotted some with Gary Boyd at 150/1. Granted his form hasn’t been great this season but a top 20 in Gleneagles shows he can mix it with the big dogs. Tied second in 2011 and came back and tied fifth last year. Even to finish in the top 10, Gary is a great odds.

Bernd Wiesberger 16/1

The Austrian has had some close shaves this season, I’m thinking Gleneagles, Germany, Nordea, Hassan here, but couldn’t quite convert. However with 20 under and better winning in Torino over the past few seasons you have to figure there’s very little to get in Bernd’s way this week.

Michael Jonzon 200/1

Michael Jonzon impressed me last week in Holland and was unlucky not to scrape a top 10. The former Castello Masters winner is 200/1 this week. He tied sixth in 2011 just four back of Robert Rock.

Best Of The Rest

Robert Rock himself is 80/1 but to be honest I don’t know what’s happening with him. Played brilliantly in Ireland to finish second, then missed four cuts, did well for the first two rounds in Holland then let it slip again. Don’t count him out though. We fancied Simon Dyson last week at the KLM on the back of six consecutive top 30 finishes and on a course he had won on previously. He didn’t let us down either, tying third. This week he has added the Italian Open and though he doesn’t usually play here has to be respected at 18/1

I’m going to stick a quid each way on Peter Whiteford too at 200/1, he was fourth two years ago.

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...
