Golf, Ryder Cup 2021

I see the BetX preview highlights the fact that Justin Rose will need all his experience - I agree with them. He should have been there.

THE RYDER CUP
Some of my thoughts with a few early out rights. May I mention again I am not a tipster - pretend you heard me in a pub mentioning my bets.

- John Rahm is the best golfer in the world today and he will probably play all five matches.
- Morikawa has won two of the last six majors. I believe he is under priced here.
- Garcia has scored the most Ryder Cup points - period.
- With the travel ban the USA will get 98% support so they have to be favored.

Top USA Rookie
Morikawa @ 4/1
Top Combined Points Scorer
Rahm @ 7/1
Top Wild Card
Garcia @ 8/1
Margin of Victory
USA by 4-6 @ 15/4
Top USA Points Scorer
Morikawa @ 10/1
and an odds based pick. Only 3 Euro rookies so have to take these odds
Top Euro Rookie
Wiesberger @ 13/2

Quite heavily on Dustin Johnson and Colin Morikawa to beat Casey and Hovland this morning @11/10

Day 1 Foursomes

USA 3-1 @ 15/4
and a few beers
USA 4-0 @ 15/1 (Taken as a four match acca which gives the better odds)

Wondering about that 16/10 on Mcilroy/Poulter - The kind of pairing that could be extremely annoying and upset the USA.

gone 13/2 treble USA foursomes -

thomas/spieth
johnson/marikawa
koepka/berger

Yeah Taking two of the above
Double
Johnson + Koepka pairings @ 28/10

Nailed it Vann well done!

Something wrong with Stricken and Harrowed. Split Schauffele/Cantlay and no Garcia? - Crazy
Local books very slow in loading. Going with (If they offer)
Fourballs
USA 2.5 - 1.5
Double
Johnson/Thomas pairings to win for USA

Not sure what Harrington's fascination is with Hovland and Hatton. One point from five outings?

Books slow but will take the following double if offered
Finau/English and
DJ/Morikawa

Dominant USA took alot of the drama out of the final day

Putt did me as well. Fell from Top USA rookie to dead heat. Got same dead heat on the Garcia wild card and made small profit on the Rahm out right by taking DJ @ 11/20 on last day.
I think the paucity of Europe supporters was keenly felt and, as a result, the USA crowd got a little out of hand which spoilt it for me. Footballers and many other sports people are used to being booed but not so golfers and I think it showed.
