Northern Trust Open (Day One)
Camilo Villegas leads by three on -8 with with Bubba & Rory in the chasing pack on -5 & -4. Schwartzel is right in there but our long shots have a lot to do although not as much as Jordan Speith, who is on +8.

Freddie Jacobson 66/1 Par Tied 56th
Smylie Kaufman 200/1 +1 Tied 77th

Maybank Malaysia Open (Day Two)
Nathan Holman leads the way on -13, two shots clear of Richard Bland, who is three ahead of the chasing pack. We have contenders in the pack but Willett & RCB both gave away shots on the final few holes & need a fast start tomorrow.
Danny Willett 11/1 -8 Tied 3rd

Northern Trust Open (Day Two)
Much closer after Day Two with Jason Kokrak leading by one on -10 from Chez Reavie but with Bubba, , Scott, Choi & McIlroy in the chasing pack, it is very open. Schwartzel is nicely placed after two rounds of 68.
Charl Schwartzel 33/1 -6 Tied 7th
Freddie Jacobson 66/1 +1 Tied 78th
Smylie Kaufman 200/1 +6 Tied MC
Maybank Malaysia Open (Day Three)
Soomin Lee has a three shot lead on -15 from Marcus Fraser and it will take a great score for any players even to place now.
Danny Willett 11/1 -6 Tied 15th
Joost Luiten 18/1 -4 Tied 25th
Rafael Cabrera Bello 22/1 -3 Tied 37th
RE: The gambling/betting thread - Owlkev71 - 22-02-2016
Dustin Johnson came 4th, so some money back.

ISPS Handa Perth International
Louis Oosterhuizen leads the betting at 11/1 for the 4th running of this event at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club in Perth.
This is a course with wide fairways where accuracy counts for very little and GIR players are likely to succeed.
Looking at the field, I am torn whether this is an easy event to pick the winner or a particularly tough one because two names jump off the page at me and despite a fair bit of research, nothing better is hitting me.
Thorbjorn Oleson 20/1
Oleson is reigning champion here and has the perfect game for this course. He has a second & an eight from his last three starts so is most likely to go close here.
Lucas Bjerregaard 33/1
Lucas was 4th here last year and has improved immesurably since then and should go very close in a field which is pretty weak overall. The signs were there last week that he is coming back to form and on this course, his big drives won't get punished if he loses his radar.
Miguel Tabuena 60/1
Couldn't help but be impressed with this guy last week and feel at the price he might give us another good run.
A trio of FRL with Matthew Griffin, Stephen Gallacher & Romain Wattel, all out early.
Good Luck!
Honda Classic
We have a pretty strong field for this event at the PGA National Champion Course in Palm Beach, Florida, headed by McIlroy, Fowler, Reed, Matsuyama, Scott, Mickelson & Grace. This event started in 1972 but has run on this course since 2007 so we have enough data to get a good feel for things. This is a tough course where the wind usually blows and a score of -10 is usually enough to take the title.
I talked about linking courses & tournaments a few months ago & this is one where players that do well in the Sony Open tend to do well here as well so giving us far more data. The overlap is pretty clear and obvious with both courses being blustery and Bermuda.
Struggling to see much value in the big names here with only Reed having much appeal so going for four players at triple figure prices that might just hook a big win.
Russell Henley 125/1
A win here two years ago and also a Sony Open winner so is well suited to this course.
Camilio Villegas 150/1
Won here in 2010 and was second in 2007 so likes the course. Showed form last week so might give a run.
Fabian Gomez 200/1
Won the Sony Open last month and Sony Open winners tend to do well here & he is 200/1.
Rory Sabbatini 250/1
Winner here in 2011 and twice runner up at the Sony Open so ideally suited to challenge again here.
Small bets, Big prices!
