Turkish Airlines Open Open Betting Preview, Tips and Predictions

Turkish Airlines Open presented by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, The Montgomerie Maxx Royal,Antalya, Turkey 07 Nov 2013 - 10 Nov 2013

Ian Poulter 16/1

Poults is finishing the season very strongly with three top 15 finishes in his last four events. Followed a Saturday 63 at the WGC HSBC Champions last week with a final round 66 but alas it wasn’t quite enough to catch Dustin Johnson. However finishing solo second was in large part due to a superbly accurate driving and short game display. If both those are still on, Poults could win.

Martin Kaymer 16/1

Martin Kaymer is very close. His tied 8th in Shanghai last week included a 62 and brings his tally to four top 15 finishes in a row since the Dunhill Links. The five par-5’s and five par-3’s on the Montgomerie course this week should play to Martin’s tee to green strengths. He just needs one good putting week.

Jamie Donaldson 40/1

Most people don’t take much notice of Jamie Donaldson but he’s definitely one of my favourites out on Tour. A winner in Abu Dhabi in January, Jamie has had a remarkably consistent 2013 since. Tied for sixth in Portugal a few weeks back and though he got blown away in the first round of the BMW Masters (shot a 79) recovered to another tied eighth at the WGC Champions. Great each way value.

Pablo Larrazabal 50/1

The Spaniard has been on my radar for over a month and this is the week I’m finally going to place an each way wager. Since a T9 at the KLM, Pablo has notched up two more top 10’s in Portugal and the BMW Masters in Shanghai; ie three top-10’s in his last four starts. Fantastically expressive, this short and tricky track could be right up his street.

Matteo Manassero 66/1

With MAXX Colin Montgomerie course a new destination and an unknown quantity it’s very difficult to pinpoint a horse for the course, but if it plays as short as their website suggests, then keep an eye on the progress of Matteo. The Italian returned from a well deserved break with a T24 at the WGC HSBC Champions last week and the bookies won’t be expecting very much. However I recall Matteo winning in early November in 2012 and I’m a sucker for players who perform at certain times of the year.

Best Of The Rest

Thongchai Jaidee 66/1

The ex Thai paratrooper is well worth keeping an eye on this week. Okay he finished T46 last week but did manage a pair of 68s. However his T2 at the BMW Masters two weeks back in very windy conditions really impressed me.

Ross Fisher 40/1

Ross is back following a week off after a visit to windy Shanghai. It didn’t happen for him there (T34) but with three top fives in his previous four events (Omega, KLM, Portugal, Perth), he’s not to be discounted. It’s hard to believe the Irish Open in 2010 was Fisher’s last win; surely another has to be coming soon.

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...
