September 16th – Golf (Running Total +$1506)
A quiet week on the golfing front with the PGA Tour have a rest week in preparation for the Fedex Playoffs Final tournament next week.
In the European Tour we have the Austrian Open which has been part of the European Tour for a number of years. There are a couple of former winners in Richard Green ($19), Marcus Brier ($21), Alex Cejka ($32) who all are a little short for my liking but i will go into a little more detail.
Richard Green unfortunately seems to be a consistant performer in the European Tour but his wins are few and far between making his price a little skinny. It is worth noting, however, that not only does he have a win here in 2007 he also came 4th in 2006 showing he appears to like the Fontana Course.
Marcus Brier is a three time winner in 2002. 2004 and 2006 and also lives just up the road from the Fontana Course. However, his form this season doesn’t really warrant the $21 price tag and even though a win wouldn’t suprise i think even if he shows some promise in the early rounds i would think his price would be fairly similar on the weekend.
Alex Cejka is a loose cannon. When he’s on he’s devastating but when he isn’t interested he can be woeful and your money can be down the drain inside the first 9 holes. $32 is a ludicris starting price for a player like this, however, if he starts well he’s well worth getting on.
Another former winner in Michael Hoey represents better value at $150 being a past winner but his form in recent times has been appalling. Maybe returning to a course where he has had success might kick start his season.
I am leaning towards those who have been consistant on the tour this year. I really like the chances of DAVID LYNN ($48) and MARTIN ERLANDSSON ($28).
David Lynn has been in solid form this year but can’t crack it for a win. I think he is a little over the odds and well worth a dabble.
Martin Erlandsson is who looks the goods as he has been in super form in 2009 especially in recent weeks where he’s finished Runner-Up at the Johnny Walker Classic and 4th in the Scandanavian Masters. He also finished 3rd here in 2008 and 9th in 2007 showing a definite confidence in the layout of the course.
Our bets are:
$50 on DAVID LYNN at $48 on Betfair
$100 on MARTIN ERLANDSSON at $28 on Betfair.
