2013 World Cup Of Golf Team and Outright Betting Preview And Tips

Australia 6/4

scott-dayA-646Jason Day (7/1 in the outright betting) has said he will play in this week’s World Cup of Golf despite losing eight family members in Typhoon Haiyan last week.  It’s impossible to know if such a tragic loss will boost or hinder Days performance with Adam Scott (3/1 outright)  this week, but on paper the home pair are unbeatable.  Scott is after coming off back to back wins at the Aussie PGA and Talisker Australian Masters which was hosted on the very same course Royal Melbourne as will be used this week. Day had another strong Major season finishing third at The Masters, T2 at the US Open and T8 at the US PGA; he also finished the PGA Tour season very strongly with three consecutive top 15’s in the final three Fed Ex Cup  playoff events coming closest to a win at The Barclays (T4).  Both Scott and Day can draw on the experience of having played the 2011 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne.

USA 13/2

Matt Kuchar (6/1 outright) wont have the problem of jet lag this week, but may be slightly sickened in the knowledge that he would have won the Aussie Masters at Royal Melbourne last week were it not for a horribly bad break on the final hole which saw him unavoidably drop two shots.  This week he teams up with Kevin Streelman who won the Tampa Bay Championship in March and hasn’t missed a cut in ten worldwide starts since the Travelers in late June. Matt Kuchar teamed up with Gary Woodland to win in Hainan Island China in 2011 and has played the President’s Cup at the venue.

Japan 33/1

IWorld-Cup-Logo-2013-Newf you are looking for a  longer odds shots for the World Cup, consider the Japanese team who like Australia, bring two in form players together. Hideto Tanihara (150/1 outright) , claimed his tenth Japan Golf Tour title the day after his 35th birthday with a victory at the Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters. He edged out his teammate Ryo Ishikawa (40/1 outright) by one shot.  Ishikawa himself scored a very impressive tied second at the Shriners last month, making the pair a very attractive bet.

Sweden 12/1

Don’t count out Peter Hanson (28/1 outright) and Jonas Blixt (33/1 outright) this week.  Hanson has been much improved lately with a good showing at Lake Malaren (T8) and another top 10 at the Tour Championship in Dubai.  Blixt won the Greenbrier on the PGA Tour this year and was T12 in Dubai last week. Like the Irish pairing of Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell who also played in Dubai, jet lag could have a huge bearing on their performance but just odds still seem pretty decent.

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...
