The Barracuda Championship
So on to the second PGA Tour event of this week, which is the Barracuda Championship.
The Barracuda Championship was first played in 1999 and was initially known as the Reno Tahoe Open.
Played at Montreux Golf & CC midway between Reno & Lake Tahoe the event is played ‘at altitude’ with the average elevation above sea level being…
WGC Bridgestone Invitational
It was a solid enough week for us in Canada with Ben An coming up just short with a second place finish.
Even though he was squaring up to DJ on Sunday based on An’s solid play for the first three rounds and allowing for Dustin’s propensity to occasionally wobble when in pole position I was cautiously optimistic going in to the last round.
Unfortunately…
RBC Canadian Open
It was a disappointing week for us both at the Open Championship and over in Kentucky at the Barbasol.
I’m happy to admit when I’ve get it wrong and there’s no doubting that I did on this occasion with my decision to take on Molinari in a match bet with Grace and indeed in my overall view that his current form would not count for too much when confronted…
The Barbasol Championship
As is always the case we have an opposite field event running on the PGA Tour alongside the Open Championship and for those who aren’t completely ‘golfed out’ over the weekend there is TV coverage both in the UK and US.
Whilst the vast majority of the golfing worlds eyes will be focused on events at Carnoustie there is no denying that this…

DUSTIN JOHNSON - 25-1 - 1pt e/w - 1/4 odds 1st 6 - LOST
I mentioned in my main preview that I expect a strong showing from the world No 1 this week and I would not be surprised if he did end up walking away with the Claret Jug.

The Open Championship
It was never going to be our week at the John Deere from the moment that Bryson Dechambeau tweaked his shoulder playing from the rough on his second hole.
Basically as a far as our main team was concerned it started badly and went downhill from there!
The one silver lining was the performance of our trader JJ Henry who played well for…
John Deere Classic
It was a frustrating week for us in the end at the Military Tribute At The Greenbrier as all of our main team had reasonably solid weeks but none were able to make the push when it mattered to finish in the places.
Henley had a great final round of 63, which left him one shot shy of the place money, whilst Schneiderjans and Bryan who were both…
A Military Tribute At The Greenbrier
So after the success of Bubba last week unfortunately it wasn’t our week at the Quicken Loans National.
Things started promisingly on Thursday, particularly with Putnam’s opening 64, however it was all downhill for our main team from there on in and by the time Sunday came around we were purely interested spectators.
The…
Quicken Loans National
So it was another great week for us at the Travelers with Bubba bringing home the spoils at 40-1.
I was concerned he’d blown it with his sloppy finish on Saturday alongside Casey’s really strong third round conclusion, however at TPC River Highlands history has shown you’ve always got a chance from five or six behind going in to Sunday and…
The Travelers Championship
So what a week that was in the end at the US Open. The event had everything you have come to expect from the US Open, tough conditions, carnage on the scoreboard, some great play, a tight finish, controversy and of course the obligatory cock up from the USGA. Roll on Pebble Beach next year!
From our point of view we were struggling from…
