Will Sergio hang on?

massesRasses · 07-21-07, 10:35 AM

Never has. I don't know why he would now. I'm on Choi.

Rooting for my fellow hoser, Mike Weir.

moses millsap · 07-21-07, 10:46 AM

Sergio can't make a mistake today.

jjgold · 07-21-07, 11:37 AM

he will choke on Sunday

onlooker · 07-21-07, 11:39 AM

Yeah, that was what I was going to say JJ. There is still one more day, and most likely the choke will happen on Sunday.

moses millsap · 07-21-07, 11:39 AM

I think he will end the day at -9 minimum, possibly -10 or -11. Doesn't look like he will choke this time.

moses millsap · 07-21-07, 12:06 PM

LOL. Sergio just hit somebody in the head with the ball.

Mudcat · 07-21-07, 12:43 PM

Stricker -7 on today's round. He's almost as good as me.

My small bet was on sergio, I've got larger ones on Weir, Choi and Els. If sergio wins I basically break even.

Can't see him hanging on.

Wheell · 07-21-07, 11:24 PM

+139 on sergio choking. Best. Bet. Ever.

moses millsap · 07-21-07, 11:41 PM

I think my book decided to clone CRIS' matchup lines, so I have no way to bet against Sergio in any way tomorrow

Mudcat · 07-22-07, 12:08 AM

I have no trouble imagining Sergio hanging on. Mike Weir had a reputation as a choker before he won the Masters. Mickelson had a reputation as a choker at one time - now he has 3 Majors. Before Nick Faldo won 6 Majors he was frequently called Nick Fold-o.

Guys overcome that choke image all the time (except of course Colin Montgomerie.)

Garcia has a 3 stroke lead on Stricker, then no one else is closer than 6 strokes. That's pretty significant. If you're thinking anyone other than Stricker is going to catch up, you are counting on a pretty major swing.

It's also important to remember that if someone else started getting close, they would also probably feel that collar tightening.

I'm seeing Sergio at -150 at Pinnacle. He's been on his game. If I was going to be home to watch tomorrow I'd throw a recreational bet on that (unfortunately I'm going to miss it.)

jjgold · 07-22-07, 10:39 AM

Mick, Els still big time chokers and underachievers. They shoukd win more but once close on the leadorboard just cannot make the big shots.

Garcia has been choing for like 7 years now so today it will not change. He is choking already early.

moses millsap · 07-22-07, 12:16 PM

Harrington chokes on 18 and now Sergio just needs to par the final hole to take the championship.

moses millsap · 07-22-07, 12:31 PM

Choke!!!!!! Bwahahahahahahaha.

I'm just glad Stricker decided to fold like that. Was sweating out a matchup wager with him and Choi until he faltered late.

I'd take Paddy in the playoff, but my book doesn't have odds up.

vanman · 07-22-07, 12:41 PM

Padraig has got to be the biggest choker on the european tour,just look at how many times the guy has finished second.

BatemanPatrickl · 07-22-07, 02:29 PM

He choked!

20Four7 · 07-22-07, 04:18 PM

yea I lost all my open bets cuz sergio did what he is famous for. Never consider harrington at all.

betplom · 07-22-07, 07:19 PM

Before play started today, Pinnacle had Garcia NOT to win +142, I considered it for a while, then when I decided to bet it, play had already begun. Damn!
