I am by no means a handicapper, but just a guy who has bet games for the better part of the last 8 years. Hardcore bettor? Sure. I probably bet golf 5-6 times a year given that I don't consider myself a golf "expert" by any means. I work in sports broadcasting, so sure, I know more than the average dude, but again, by no means an "expert" - especially with golf. However, put one unit on Rory last week after Thursday's round at 7/2. Made a nice little profit. Nothing special. Figured I'd give it a go again this week. Wednesday night, before round 1 at Doral, put 1 unit on Bubba at 50/1, 1 unit on Justin Rose at 50/1, 1 unit on Keegan Bradley at 33/1 and .5 units on Phil. Bubba and Rose, being my long-shots, found their way to the top of the leaderboard after Thursday's round, so I put another unit on Bubba at 40/1 and another on Rose at 30/1. Given the fact that through Friday, they are 1 &2, what's the smartest way to hedge this? My standard betting unit is $100, so if Bubba can keep his composure and close, I'm $9000 richer. Again, other than that I figured Doral sets up for long left handed golfers, I just took a shot in the dark on who I took (I liked Rose and Keegan because they've been consistent so far this year). Keegan, Rose, and Bubba are all top 5 right now, but the last thing I want to do is walk away from this weekend's tournament making nothing when I have a stable of golfers at the top of the leaderboard who were all longshots to win. Any suggestions? The last thing I need is Adam Scott pulling out a Sunday miracle and dicking me out of a few grand.

[TPowell]

I'd ride it out today and then bet matchups to hedge

Haas bogeyed 18 and Bjorn fell apart on the back nine

hope you listened to me. I'd let it ride tomorrow unless you can hedge Hanson, Kuchar, or Johnson with your 3

[Jonah]

TPowell, who you like for tomorrow? I don't know much about Golf, but I think Keegan is a cool customer. Called it before his big win. Other than that, I am thinking Zach Johnson for tomorrow.

[JTNewton]

I stayed put today. Thinking about $100 hedge on Hanson, Kuchar and Johnson, and then maybe putting like another $1500 on Bubba. Trying to milk this for all it's worth - right now, I'm sitting pretty regardless. Thoughts?

[TPowell]

another $1,500 on Bubba? Idk man, I would sit tight outside of the the little hedge action

I wouldn't mess with Zach Johnson in the only matchup I saw. He was paired against Webb Simpson who was hot as hell today. I think Simpson is due for another really solid round like today.

Friday: 2-0 +2
Saturday: 6-4 +1.95


Luke Donald -110 over Charl Schwartzel
Retief Goosen -135 over Paul Lawrie
Simon Dyson -125 over Vijay Singh
Garth Mulroy +125 over Hennie Otto
Dustin Johnson +125 over Phil Mickelson
Bill Haas -120 over Brandt Snedeker

[JTNewton]

Is there ANYONE outside of Johnson and Kuchar you would hedge with?

[JTNewton]

Ok...in addition to having Bubba $100 at 50/1, Rose $100 at 50/1, Keegan $50 at $33/1, I now have Kuchar $150 at 33/1, Johnson $150 at 40/1, and Hanson $150 at 28/1. Let's hope and pray no one outside the top 6 wins this thing...hopefully we'll be poppin' bottles at about 6:00 PM EST tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

[TPowell]

good call with Singh being a duck out of water, he shot 75 but unfortunately Simon Dyson didn't even break 80

[ByeShea]

Tiger Woods +115 over Rory Mcilroy (for full tournament)

Tiger bails.

Report is a leg injury.

[SteveRyan]

Tiger bails.

Report is a leg injury.

Makes sense because he switched shoes at the turn. He was playing awful though....

[Jonah]

Saturday, I took a little action on Golf. I had this premonition or thought really what it would feel like to suffer a bad beat on Golf, considering my reputation. USF and Ohio to name a few from just this week alone...

Today, I liked Keegan a lot...and conversely did not like Bubba at all...So I dove in.

Keegan had at least a three stroke lead on him all day. He bogeys 15, then 17 and double bogeys 18! He loses by 1 stroke.
