Verplank to make the cut here. Rather large.

 

[royalfan]

Kind of a shitty tee time it sounds like for Verplank unfortuntely. Weather may favor late first early 2nd times possibly. Therefore, Garcia first round over Lefty and westwood are plays as well.

 

[bookie]

Weather is terrible. Afternoon starters have a definite advantage.

Tryx3...looking good as Harrington off to a terrible start.

 

[Santo]

I have a number of bets on this, amongst my favourite is 8 or less to finish under par at +170 & +150.

what you really need is for harrington to withdraw tomorrow

Would love it but he had a good round, can't see that happening

Harrington would play with one arm before ever withdrawing. He is as mentally tough as they come.

 

[RoofTop]

Preety tough conditions

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Just woke up a little while ago...can't remember conditions differing so much between early tee time and late ones...what a bad break for the guys who went off early...

 

[soccerbob]

Whatever any sportsbook puts up for an over/under on Ernie Els's score for the 2nd round, just bet it over. Any matchup he's in for the 2nd round, bet the other side. Els is done as far as being any kind of factor in the majors.

he stings that wrist a few times and it becomes an issue every time he draws it back , he will walk off...

no sense in doing more damage.

it must be feeling alright to shoot 74 today .

 

[BetIt]

how different are the conditions

i saw some of it this AM

is it still windy?

Harrington still needs to get through 72

just gotta hope your guys in matchups make the cut (assuming harrington does)

Surprise of the day...David Duval shooting 73...

 

[Furmanski]

more surprising than Norman shooting E?

I think you could take any of these 3 and NO ONE could have predicted it:

1) Norman shoots E
2) Rocco shoots -1
3) Duval shoots +3

All equally surprising to me.

AGREE..

Is the weather tomorrow supposed to be similar today? Anyone catch what Harrington said about the wrist after today? He is gonna kill me. Rose atleast tied with him, but Ernie looks toast.

 

[patswin]

He said it did not bother him as much as he thought. He said he expected it to get better each day. Not good news. I'm in the same boat as you, I pounded Els against him for the max bet, also went with Rose and Westwood against him. Need a big day from Els tomorrow. Hoping Els can at least make the cut so I have a chance

 

[BetIt]

Harrington said it's 90% certain he'll finish, pain wasn't there after warmups.

Bad news for us faders

I got rose/westwood against him...which are live but Els got crushed

"The finish tainted it a bit, but I have to focus on the positives - there are 54 holes to go and the wrist should get better."

After putting his chances of making it through the event at only 50-50 late on Wednesday, Harrington now reckons it is "95 per cent."
