Something appropriate about it being a tonne.

Snedeker might be worth a shout, missed the cut last week, but fired a 6 odd under in the second round.  Garcia has to be in the mix and putting mightn't be as important with the winds they're expecting.  Clarkey is reknowned for his wind play too, but Rory isn't as last year's second round showed.
Other lads I might back if the prices are big enough are Mark Wilson, Aiken, Jacquelin, Na, Baddeley, Colsaerts, Manassero.  €2 a pop on betfair and most of them are about 400/1 odd.
Sure if you back enough, you might get a run with one of them!!  It's all about bragging rights isn't it?

Clann Eireann in Lurgan doing a good thing, you pay £10, pick six players and whoever has the lowest score for the tournament wins £500.

Nice wee interest to have the whole tournament, this is the second time they have done it after the US Open.

Anyway at the US Open I had a US PGA website that allowed me to create a mini leaderboard with my six players at the top so i could keep track of them, anywhere with the sae for this?

For the record I did two this time. One was Steve Palmer's picks above (with McIlroy instead of Jacobson). I can't remember the other six and can't find my sheet now!

[Radda bout yeee]

Who does your man McWilliams tip in Irish News? His tips are never far away and I think i'll have a flutter.

[AZOffaly]

Not a great start for McIlroy. +2 after 3.

I had a small e/w on Westwood, Kuchar and McDowell

Don is this what your looking for. If you click on the flags beside the players you want to keep track of and then sort by marked players in the drop down menu it should do the job.

Backed Goosen Swartzel Overton Dyson Gmac and Harrington

[Don Johnson]

Good man Rossie that is exactly what I meant, able to track them a lot easier now.

Did a three ball bet not looking great:

Poulter 5/4
McIlroy 10/11
Donald 1/1
Fisher 11/8
Karlsson 5/6

[Canalman]

 Small e/ws on

Cabrera
Schwarzel.

Stuck a small amount on Dustin Johnson to win.

[screenexile]

Have Donald and Manassero done e/w top 6 pay out.

Donald 11/1 and Manassero 55/1.

Good morning for Darren. He's had a full English breakfast followed by a continental. Now munching on a load of fruit washed down with a strawberry milkshake.

The iPhone has an excellent Open app that does it.
