If I remember correctly Istabraq likes his golf. Who have you all picked for this weeks US Open?

I have a squad of four:
1pt win Justin Thomas 33/1
O.75pt ew Louis Oosthuizen 66/1, 8 places
0.75pt ew Branden Grace 50/1, 8 places
0.5pt ewChris Wood 150/1, 8 places, and 0.25pt win 320.
0.25pt win Zach Johnson 310
 
So does Kevloaf... stopped betting on it week in week out as my stakes we're getting as high as they are for the racing despite knowing quite significantly less.... however:

10 for me this week (love getting stuck in to a major!)

Justin Thomas - 8 places 33/1 1 pt e/w
Louis Oosthuizen - 8 places 50/1 0.75 pt e/w
Shane Lowry - 8 places 60/1 0.75 pt e/w
Rickie Fowler - 8 places 20/1 1 pt e/w
Adam Scott - 8 places 28/1 1 pt e/w
Kevin Kisner - 8 places 50/1 0.75 pt e/w
Kevin Chappell - 8 places 66/1 0.75 pt e/w
Brandon Grace - 8 places 40/1 1 pt e/w
Byeong-Hun An - 8 places 100/1 0.5 pt e/w
Matthew Fitzpatrick - 8 places 100/1 0.5 pt e/w
 
After a few months of after Cheltenham pleased have come back on here. Good couple of weeks sporting wise Us Open this week and Royal Ascot next week. After having Garcia in the Masters hoping to go back to back in Majours fingers cross one of us do well this week. If the weather is what its meant to be could be a Monday finish. Here are me bets.

Hideki Matsuyama 33/1
Kevin Kisner 40/1
Matt Kuchar 60/1
Daniel Berger 100/1
Billy Horschel 100/1
Lee Westwood 100/1
Si-woo Kim 125/1
All each way with me local High Street Bookie
 
Plenty of bets between us. Hopefully one of us bags the winner!
 
Featured groups is on the red button on SkySports
 
Only just seen this.

Don't know this track at all so a few small interest bets only:
Oost 50/1
Lowery 60/1
Horschall 80/1 (already written that off)
And a took a flyer on Jordan Niebrugge at 300/1, local lad.

Good luck all
 
Kim is giving you a good run for your money Liam - shame he bogeyed the last today.

It'll be interesting if Fowler can get a lead on the field tonight. Long way to go but if he can get a 2 or 3 shot lead going into round three, he might be tough to peg back.
 
Huge round from Justin Thomas yesterday! Must giuve him a huge amount of confidence going in to today
 
Good luck with Thomas guys. With us having a couple of players with a chance today I have to say this has being a boring Us Open. I like tough courses in this event. Where -1 under or level wins. Hopefully one of us gets the winner tonight. Roll on Ascot.
 
Totally agree Liam - the course has played far too easy. Strong winds tonight would make things interesting. Good luck
 
Pleased that farce is over. Happy with tied 2nd ew Matsuyama got about 60 back 40 down on the week. Roll on the proper event this week. Good luck I be on Ryan Moore lucky 31 every day.
 
I backed Brooks at 2/1 with my "place" money from Thomas and Fowler... which is usually how I play things where I can. So finished with 20 pts, exactly where I had started.

Best stick to horses .... until the next event :devilish:

Very unimpressed with the whole event to be honest.
