parish man (1,457 Posts)	first week of money makin machine that is the fed ex playoffs.. playin at bethpage black which can prove to be an animal of a course. should make great viewin though and rory playin with tiger for first two rounds will add to interest. my two against field are bubba watson 28-1. startin to play well again after his slide after the masters. length needed here but he also finds plenty greens too. crowd in new york will spur him on bo van pelt 50-1. mr consistent even does not win much. still will nearly always contend and surely win soon This message has been edited - 22-aug-2012 @ 19:56

The Minstrel (646 Posts)	I'll have a wager on Van Pelt as well. Seems to stumble when in view of the finish line, but if he keeps contending he's bound to break through soon. I'll be interested to see how Bethpage sets up in a regular tour event, compared to the penal US Open setups. It's a tough course anyway, but I imagine the greens won't be as fast and the rough not as thick for a regular event. I'll also put a few bob, on the nose, on Jim Furyk. Hopefully he doesn't forget his alarm clock this year.

Minstrel what kind off odds did you get on jim.im torn between 3 for my 2nd pick I haven't placed a bet yet, but I've seen Furyk quoted in the low 50s recently. Anything greater than 45/1 would be a decent price I think.

greendolphin (2,177 Posts)	I still think it bizarre harrington opted not to play the wyndham and is playing this week. Would tell me he's more interested in the fed ex than making the Ryder Cup team. Can't see him being picked now unless he wins this week. Tiger and Rory paired together in first two rounds. Boom!

perth06 (1,943 Posts)	From irishgolfdesk.com Pádraig Harrington has history with the Spanish Armada and it appears it could come back to sink his Ryder Cup wildcard hopes this week. While he says he has a “good relationship” with European Ryder Cup skipper José María Olazábal, many recall their public falling during the 2003 Seve Trophy at El Saler. Whether or not Olazábal still guards any resentment is not public knowledge but Sergio Garia, who lost majors to Harrington in 2007 and 2008, is certainly no big fan. When asked on the eve of The Barclays if the “bad blood” between Olazábal and Harrington regarding the Seve Trophy row could see him overlooked for a wildcard even if he was playing better than another potential pick, the man from Borriol did little to offer the Dubliner any hope at all. Asked what he thought about Europe possibly not putting out its best team, Garcia said: “I am sure José is going to pick whoever he thinks is best for the team. I don’t know if that includes Harrington or not. So we’ll see. “I know José will do the best thing for the team and if that includes Harrington, that will be fine. If not, there are a lot of other guys who are playing very, very well too. “I don’t think he’s a sure pick personally. He wouldn’t be a sure pick for me!” It is difficult - though not impossible - to imagine that Olazábal would allow a personal vendetta to cloud his judgement but Charlie Mulqueen’s breakdown on the 2003 row in last week’s Irish Examiner does not make light reading for anyone in the Harrington camp: In a crucial singles on that fateful day at El Saler, Harrington wanted the referee to rule whether Olazabal was allowed to repair two pitch marks on the line of his eight-foot putt on the third green. While Harrington looked around for the referee to intervene, Olazabal went ahead anyway and did his repair work. And when Harrington mentioned it before continuing with his own putt, Olazabal, feeling his integrity was being questioned, conceded the hole and marched to the next tee. Harrington insisted that was not the case but the Spaniard wasn’t listening. The remaining 15 holes were played in stony silence as the incident festered. And despite the efforts of Harrington to appease the situation, Olazabal stiffly refused to accept his explanation. It didn’t help that Harrington forced a half point from their match on the final green with a four-foot birdie putt, enough for Britain and Ireland to retain the trophy 15-13. For around 15 minutes beside the 18th green, the pair were locked in animated conversation. Olazabal refused to accept all efforts — including those by captains Seve Ballesteros and Montgomerie — to secure a peaceful settlement. Harrington later said: “It’s not worth losing a friend over but we had 15 very awkward holes. I was not trying to question his integrity but that’s what he thought and I can 100% see his side. “I certainly won’t be celebrating tonight and it’s not the way I would have liked to get a half.” All Olazabal would say was: “We had a difference of opinion and I’m not going to waste any more time talking about it.” Given the situation, it would appear that Harrington must do what his old adversary Sergio Garcia did last week and win the tournament if he is to have even the slightest chances of a captain’s pick. Garcia brilliantly played his way into the side by winning the Wyndham Championship but Harrington might just have to settle for the money and the FedEx Cup points instead of a seventh cap.

the_caffeine_kid (14 Posts)	There will probably be a later thread on this, but I don't think Paddy will be on the Ryder Cup team this year for three reasons: 1) The less than cordial relationship between Olazabal and Harrington due to the latter questioning the former's integrity as discussed above, (in the Seve trophy FFS). 2) He is too far removed (at the moment) from overall positions 11 and 12 (or 6 and 7 on the World List), and Poulter plus Colsaerts (here come the Belgians!) make more appeal. 3) His recent Ryder Cup record is in fact pretty poor. I don't think we can complain if he is not picked for reasons 2 and 3 above, and they will allow reason number 1 not to become overly relevant. I think Darren Clarke's omission from Faldo's 2008 team was far more controversial.

faldo (3,494 Posts)	Colsaerts will be one to watch I think this weekend also.i don't believe he will be picked as a wild card so he's got to have a top 2 finish here this weekend Poults will def get one off the wild cards imo

The Minstrel (646 Posts)	Early days of course, but young Rory and less-young Sergio are both off to good starts. Harrington at -1 so far. He seems to do better on the tougher courses, of which Bethpage is one.

perth06 (1,943 Posts)	A 64 for Harry, not a bad way to start. A 65 for Watney. Tiger on 2 under and Rory on 1 under with 3 to play. Playing a lot easier than in the Open which was held here in 09, where 4 under was the winning total.

The Minstrel (646 Posts)	Great first round from Padraig, finishing at -7. He has had problems lately keeping it together over 4 rounds; here's hoping he breaks out of that funk here. Rory faded a bit after a bright start. He's now -1 after 15 holes. Plenty of golf to be played.
