Weekly Sports Tips

Welcome to our weekly column where we try and seek good value in some longer odds bets.

Review

Another disappointing week for our long shots. Two 0-0 draws frustrated our football bets, Thongchai Jaidee didn’t quite cut the mustard in Malaysia and a first round nightmare for Carl Pettersson ended his chances at the Honda Classic. His second round was superb, however, and more of that later….

Honda Classic - Florida

The PGA Tour moves east this week as the 38th Honda Classic hits the Sunshine State. The Champion Course @ PGA National, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida will host 144 professionals, including the defending champion Y.E. Yang.

PGA National will hold this event for the fourth successive season. The par 70 layout (7100 yards), recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, has over 100 bunkers and water in play on 16 of the 18 holes. The most famous part of the course is the “Bear Trap”, holes 15, 16 and 17. The two par 3s and a par 4 throw up a lot of excitement in the final stages of the tournament. (more…)

Malaysian Open - Kuala Lumpur

The Malaysian Open, co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour, takes place at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club this weekend.

The par 72 layout which stretches over 7000 yards is extremely similar to the PGA Tour (see other article) event this week in that the course is protected by many bunkers and accuracy will be key here in this event too. Currently the course is extremely wet (pick & place will be in operation), so expect it to play longer.
