we should see a lot lower scores this weekend me thinks!

not a bad track leading into the open in two weeks time.
not the biggest of field's big name wise but still a few of the best playing.

going for two this week and both are outsiders

Micheal Thompson.Thompson is the U.S. Open runner-up,and also tied for fourth at last year's Travelers.he's striking the ball well so hopefully he will be up there come sunday.(50-1)

Brian Davis.You dont have to be able to hit the ball mad long here.its more about hitting fairways etc.I like Davis because he's a great iron player and he's pretty accurate from the tee box,ranked 9th or 10th i think.
(66-1)

Or an update on the disgraceful goings on between a couple of families lately in Ennis

this could be a birdie fest all right faldo. easier to watch then last weeks war of attrition

going for bo van pelt who has an ok record here. when he gets on a streak can shoot low.. 28/1

anders romero. has played well here in the past. showed a return to form a few weeks back and is another streaky player. 60/1

Disappointed not to see Furyk in the field this week. He could probably benefit grom getting back on the horse quickly. It'll be interesting to see if Padraig can put good tournaments together, and PP have him as 2nd favorite to win which doesn't make sense.

I'll go with:

Louis @ 50/1
Bubba @ 20/1

with a long shot:

Robert Karlsson @ 100/1.

Yea, Bubba hasn't been the same post-Augusta. A bit natural I suppose. But I'm thinking a return to the site of his first tour win will energize him.

Great shout on Davis in your original post and Villegas too. I stuck 5 e-w on both at 66/1 sometime Thurs evening. Both well in the mix after 2 rounds.

Was at a wedding yesterday so I didn't see any golf.Davis going really well and Villegas steady so far,4 pars I think.Davis one of the lead.

Two good tournaments in a row represents a big breakthrough for Harrington. Hopefully he keeps it up through the summer majors and Ryder Cup (if he makes it)

Paddy is going to need to get going if he's to pull off a win. Very tight leaderboard so it's anyone's guess! This course is on for a score so we're going to see plenty of birdies.

'Northern Ireland's Padraig Harrington'. Not like Jim Nantz to make a bu bu like that.

Paddy has had a few good weeks and may be a dark horse for the Brit.Playing steady now.Sorry about the hurlers today Dolph but they are far from finished yet and footballers will be takin a swig out of Sam later on in the year.Stay cool man and leave the furry critters their bit of life

Not going as well as I thought he wound today but great to see him perform consistently good in tournaments of late. We're not looking beyond Clare in the football, we can't be getting cocky now!
