A week ahead of the 2022 Masters tournament, 21 of those due to take part have their final warm-up preps in the Valero Open Golf, beginning tomorrow. I have forsaken the tournaments favourites and, not really looking for the winner, have gone for 3 outsiders. Basing my bets similar to the way Togo does his rugby bets, i've done them to finish in the top 8 and the top 12. Bets are with W Hill and Sky (who offer 8, 10 and 12 places)

£1 e.w.; Chris Kirk to 8 places @ 30/1
£1 e.w.; Chris Kirk to 12 places @ 25/1
£1 e.w.; Kevin Streelman to 8 places @ 40/1
£1 e.w.; Kevin Streelman to 12 places @ 35/1
£1 e.w.; Ben Martin @ 200/1 to 8 places
£1 e.w.; Ben Martin @ 140/1 to 12 places

Good luck with those ... I think you're going to lose all your money.
Question Author
No, Ellipsis, i'm not going to lose 'all' my money. Worst case scenario is that i lose £12. And as i have at least £13, that's not 'all' my money :-)
So, who wins it then?
Justin Lower sounds like he has a great chance! ;-)

Seriously, I watch a lot of golf, but would neither offer nor take my betting advice.
Question Author
Neither would i. I'm more than capable of picking my own losers, whatever the sport.
My selections are not intended as 'tips'.
Question Author
Forgot to say, i got your little pun:-)
Yep - no matter what anybody else scores, he's Justin Lower!

And there really is a player called Justin Lower playing at the Valero Open. He shot a 75 yesterday, so nominative determinism is absent in this case ...
Question Author
Thankfully, all my 3 carded lower than Lower:-) Surprisingly, Ben Martin (200/1 and 140/1) lies best placed to win me some rebate on -3, just 4 off the lead (Kirk and Streelman are on -2). Early days, and all that.
I don't do gambling, but I have done golf, not so much now though. I once a told a work colleague, who was a gambler, to put his money on Mark Calcaveccia for The Open. He did, but he wouldn't tell me how much, but I think the odds for him at the time was 40-1, maybe slightly higher. Sure enough, Calcaveccia won and I just got a 'thank you' from Tony. At least he was grateful. And he lived up your way, Ken, in Bacup.
Question Author
They're all tight fisted so and so's in Bacup, 10C. I'd have at least bought you a B&T for your tip:-)
Question Author
A BLT, of course.
I would have enjoyed that, Ken!
Question Author
10c, i was gonna say i'd have at least bought you a half. Then i remembered the pic you posted a few years back of you after the march past at the Cenotaph. Looked like you were tucking into a BLT then. :-))
Question Author
After day 3, Ben Martin appears to have shot his bolt, carding a 75 to find himself on level par, 10 shots off the lead. Both Kevin Streelman (-6) & Chris Kirk (-5), however, are still in the hunt and i remain hopeful that one (or both) of them will repay my faith:-)
Question Author
And, just for Ellipsis, Justin Lower missed the cut on +9 - dare i say it, lower than everyone else bar Hideki Matsuyama (world number 12) who also ended on +9 :-)))
Have been following Ken but didn't have a punt. I have however had a £1 E/W on Justin Rose @80/1 for the Masters next weekend. Also had a little look ante-post at Longhouse Poet @18/1 in the National. Rose should have won The Masters at least twice.
Question Author
Oh, i'll be having a good look at the Masters next week, Togo. In between peeping at the stats for the Aintree Festival, of course :-))
Sorry to see you lost all of your [i]£12[i], Ken!
twelve pounds
Question Author
I've still had one pound left and i put it on Lightening Company which won @ 9/1. So thmurrrr.
I see Tiger's probably in the Masters. I suggest not placing any money there, Ken ...
