    AT&T Pebble Beach Pro AM

    One of my favorite PGA events of the year tee's off tomorrow morning, so I wanted to start a thread to get anyone who is wagering on it their thoughts or wagers. Here is what I have early on:

    To win:

    Jordan Spieth +1800 Yes, he didn't make the cut at Torrey Pines for the first time since they invented dirt, but I expect him to come out strong and have a big weekend. He's mentioned he's close to being where he was at and was pointing to this event. I never could've imagined getting this number on him, but not making the cut last week helped, a lot.

    Jason Day +1800 They gave this guy the same number as Spieth, but he almost won last week. Can't pass on a guy who has re invented himself. This Aussie is dangerous to say the least, and any performance close to last week puts him right there on Sunday.

    Seemus Power +2500 This guy has serious game. The type of game that could rattle off a couple of tour wins before this year is up, and this could be one of them. Great iron play, if he can get his putting in order, the field may be chasing this guy come Sunday morning.

    That's my three to win, I will also have Round matchup plays going that I will post morning of. Should be a really fun week of golf.

    He's been struggling, no doubt, but I think not making the cut last week lit a fire under him. He wasn't expected to do well there anyway, so I expect him to make a run this week.

    Didn't do any 1st round plays, but I fired on Theegala (+275) to get into the top 20.

    I don't know yet, probably a CEO. Might be a pro if his caddy takes the day off. I've done it 5 times, only once I got a pro.

    Round 2 I played Aaron Rai +120 over Mav McNealy.

    Rai very good at bouncing back after a bad round. Like the number on him.

    Not really jj, it's all about the number. You have to follow golf close with these guys starting to split the way they are between here and Europe. PGA is no longer the only game. Lot's of spots are opening up on tour. They're good players getting an opportunity.

    No such thing as the names anymore

    Years ago these names won a lot more

    Guys like Thomas will be lucky to win two tourneys this year it is that hard

    no more

    Looks like Power has a good lead, hoping he holds on the next few days and continues to sink putts.

    Rai brought home some bacon today.

    Golf has to be at an all time low tv ratings

    no stars just 75 great players

    One of many examples Rory McElroy has not win a major in over 7 years and he is so called big star face on tour and those 8 years were HIS PRIME YEARS.

    Mind boggling stat

    It's out with the old, in with the new. You have to follow golf to really keep up on players. It's hard to keep the tour card for the bottom half of the players and there's always the guys that are trying to get the tour card. It's a major accomplishment to get one. There isn't a bad player on tour, they all have game.

    Round 3 matchup Vaughn Taylor +118 over Adam Hadwin.

    I'm hoping Power can increase his lead and make Sunday a cruise.

    Thank you. Even though the win plays haven't hit yet this year, it's been really close to scoring and it only takes one or two during the course of the year along with the round matchup plays coming in fairly consistent. Makes watching the tournaments really fun and really pulling for guys to make shots.

    Funny you posted that. I just bought a brand new driver on Saturday and hit for the first time yesterday. Back in the day, I would go 280 off the box, now, that I'm much older, 240 and every now and then I might get 260. I've learned to play station to station instead of trying to over power the course. So my game comes down to how well I putt.

    Played a tournament yesterday, no bueno. I have a 3 day tournament in Vegas this weekend.
