2014 Zurich Classic Of New Orleans Betting Tips and Expert Picks

Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Purse: $6,800,000 • Winning Share: $1,224,000 • FedExCup Points: 500
TPC Louisiana • Avondale, LA

Last week: Luke Donald finished second at 25/1

Rickie Fowler  18/1


Has to be in line for another win soon and with this year’s Zurich Classic devoid of real star quality an excellent opportunity exists this week for Fowler.  Sixth in Houston and tied for fifth last time out in Augusta.  Was in the mix here last year after a good first round but faded.  Best of T10 here in 2012.  Big chance.

Kevin Stadler  35/1


I must say I quite fancy a flutter myself on Kevin Stadler this week.  The ‘Smallrus’ scored a T8 at TPC Louisiana last season and comes here this year with a win in Phoenix and a T8 at The Masters.  Tied 38th last week at Hilton Head.

Justin Rose 12/1


Two top 15’s in his past two visits to New Orleans (T15 2013, T10 2012) make Justin Rose the bookies favourite after all time leading earner at the Zurich Classic opted instead to play in China this week.  After an early season stifled by a shoulder injury Rose has shown signs of a return to form with a T8 at Innisbrook and a T14 at The Masters.  Well within his capabilities to contend on a course where the average winning score over the past four years has been 18 under.

Russell Knox 50/1


Excellent opportunity for the young Scot to contend in his 50th Tour start (49 regular season, 1 major).  Great season so far with a T10 at The Farmers, that brilliant T2 at The Honda and a T9 again last week at The Heritage.  On a cut streak of five events with a worst finish of 43rd which screams consistency.  Russell played here in 2012 in what was then only his 10th Tour start and finished in the top 30 thanks in part to a second round of 64.  He’ll be itching to give it another shot this year.

Long Odds Glory Shots


My long odds glory shots this week  between them have precious little current form but could be dangerous on this layout.
Boo Weekley 75/1  tied sixth last year, 10th in 2010 and T3rd in 2009.  A great ball striker on his day but without enough current form to make the main tips.

Lucas Glover at 120/1 is an enigma.  Will do nothing for months then show up and win.  The Clemson grad lead for three rounds in 2013 and finished T4.  He knows how to play this course well.

Ernie Els at 80/1 is another without current form but always to be respected.  Second to Dufner in 2012 and T15 last year.

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 two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

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 Montgomeri
