2013 KLM Dutch Open Betting Preview Tips and Predictions

12 Sep - 15 Sep KLM Open, Kennemer G&CC, Zandvoort, The Netherlands

Joost Luiten 20/1

joostMight have had one eye on his home Open judging by his lacklustre performance at the European Masters. Always seems to be under pressure to perform here ever since finishing second behind Ross Fisher in 2007 and can expect to have huge galleries following him throughout. The expectation stems from not only being the ‘local lad done good’ but also solid recent form in Wales (T2) and Germany (T10) since winning the Lyoness Open in Austria in June.

 

Victor Dubuisson 50/1

dubuissonThe Frenchman will be a stranger to the Kennemer layout which has not been used since 2009 but judging by the accuracy and tidy putting he displayed in coming third last week in Switzerland, he should fare just fine. Big things are expected from Victor and he’s starting to deliver with last weeks result coming on the back of solid top 20’s in Scotland and France (he was forced to withdraw in Wales after round one).

 

Simon Dyson 18/1

dysonAnother good result for the resurgent Simon Dyson in Switzerland last week. His T22 in the Alps bring his current top 30 tally to six in a row with a best finish of fifth in Paris in the Summer. The Englishman is one of the few to have pedigree at the KLM Open, wherever they play it. He won in 2011 at Hilversum and twice at this weeks venue Kennemer in 2006 and 2009. Among the favourites for those reasons.

 

Ross Fisher 16/1

rossFisher is another former winner at Kennemer (2007) and has to be close to another Tour win. It’s over three years since he won the Irish Open in Killarney and though he has been knocking at the door, it just hasn’t happened. I was very impressed with his Saturday 63 in Crans Montana last week and to follow it with a final round of 66 to tie fifth tells me Fisher is in control of his game. As well as the win five years ago, Ross featured on the leaderboard in 2011 when he tied sixth at Hilversum.

 

Long Odds Irish

rainI don’t know what it is about Kennemer but Irish players have always done well here. Darren Clarke (non runner?) won here in 2008 and top fived in 2009. Peter Lawrie (100/1) putted his way into a playoff with Simon Dyson and Peter Hedblom the same year. The course is also tailor made for David Higgins at 250/1.

But of the lot I fancy Damien McGrane at 125/1. The Meath man jumped from 111th on the Race To Dubai to secure his card with a brilliant T6 in Wales and he twice missed out on playoffs at Kennemer by a single shot in 2006 and 2009. If there is any justice in the golfing world Damien deserves some!

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...
