PGA Championship plays

[BetIt]

haven't done much research but told myself i'm going to grab this when it came out

Phil Mickelson to not make the cut +340

entirely too much value on the no side....he may go on to win the tournament for all I know (he's had success here in the past) but bottom line is Phil is playing miserable golf

-don't believe Phil is 100% at all
-he's putting horribly since his wrist injury (65 putts in two rounds at British Open, 145 last weekend)
-he missed the british open and withdrew or failed to make the cut in the 3 previous tourneys......finished a lackluster 46 in a waterdowned field last weekend

at those juicey odds, i'll take a bite for a unit.

Mickelson conceded his left wrist is still less than 100 percent. But he said he has been cleared to practice and no longer needs to apply a substance on the wrist to numb the pain.

A player who used to prepare for some majors, like last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot, over the span of weeks and months, now finds encouragement in being able to practice more over the last several days.

"I've been able to put more time in my game now in the last week or two than I have in the last three months," Mickelson said. "And so I'm really excited about getting back out and playing. I'm excited about the upcoming FedEx Cup Series, but especially excited about trying to play well here at Southern Hills."

Southern Hills has been good to Lefty. He finished third at the PGA here in 1994 and tied for seventh at the 2001 U.S. Open.

But he wasn't injured then. His experiences so far this year when playing at less than 100 percent have been bad.

He hurt his wrist Memorial Day weekend, practicing for the U.S. Open. He missed the cut at Oakmont in June, at the AT&T National in July, then once more later in the month at the British. It marked the first time he'd missed three straight cuts on tour since 1995. A 46th-place finish last week at Bridgestone marks the only time he's cashed a check on the tour this summer.

In between all that, he hit a pair of awful drives on No. 18 in the Scottish Open -- once in regulation, then again in a playoff -- to give away a victory there. Besides that, he hasn't been competitive.

He thinks things are getting better for this week. Not all the way back, but better.

"I've been talking to the doctors. They think another two weeks, I should be 100 percent," Mickelson said.

Play #2:

Stewart Cink to make cut (-240)

-missed only 2 cuts this year
-made every weekend here since 1998

 

[ForgetWallStreet]

Went with small plays on Verplank and Casey to win outright. Also took Casey over Cabrera and Mahan over Romero as 72 hole plays. Good luck with your selections.

Riding Phil with you Mr

 

[BetIt]

Adding Weird +.5 (+113) over Stricker

based solely on pinny lean (pinny has weird at +120...7 cents for a 1/2 stroke....pretty cheap

 

[BetIt]

Weir ties stricker and it's a win

1-0

Pending

Mickelson to miss (just teed off)
Cink to make cut (finished at +2, shoud leave him in decent position to make cut tomorrow)

 

[terps1313]

Gotta love Weir shooting 77 and getting the W out of it... well done :toast:

 

[MrCleo]

how exactly is the cut determined again? i'm also on Cink to make cut

 

[terps1313]

Top 70 including ties make the cut

 

[BetIt]

yeah...phil is hitting the ball real well so that looks done, he's striking very well

 

[ForgetWallStreet]

Sitting pretty with my two 72 hole plays. Gotta love the Argentines both totally combusting. Still plenty of time for Casey and Mahan to shit the bed though...

 

[BetIt]

lot of golf to be played still

Mickelson ended up at +3 so he still has a chance to miss the cut
Cink is at +2 in slightly better of a position than Phil except Phil gets to go in the morning

 

[CappingArizona]

Tiger +291 at Pinny, seems high. Didn't think it would move much off the opening number.

Daly is still up there at +5000:smoking:

 

[BetIt]

Daly's post round interview was hilarious

-hasn't practiced on the course all week
-was playing slots at the local casino all week
-basically said he will always go for the shot...even if it's not a smart move

this guy is destined to shoot a 80 on this course

 

[chengkeke]

c'mon phil, lose a few balls why don't you?

 

[BetIt]

he is hitting some big shots to save himself...we'll see...needs to bogey some...the front 9 is apparently tough so we'll see

 

[BetIt]

Phil gets back to par for the day, bet looks toast

he's hitting awful first shots...saving himself with great 2nd shots
