At the halfway stage I'm reasonably happy
De Laet and Els are both lying in 11th and Fowler in 27th
De Jonge is long gone,missed the cut...
Bill Haas is currently leader,which is a shock as he is normally useless at this track,I think he will fade as he lacks bottle.
Weather has gone a bit ropey and patience is the key,I may have a little more on The Big Easy for top ten finish.

Fingers crossed Ritchie,Owen 2.clear with 8 holes to play

When you get to work on a monday after being without phone or internet coverage for the weekend, it is lovely to see a bet pay off. After what i spent this weekend, this was a bet that was needed!

After backing Kuchar last week as my main bet and leaving him this week,the term "sick as a parrot " springs to mind..
He should have won last week,that's why I left him this week.Players don't normally contend 2 weeks running..

Me too..everyone of my bets the guy shot over 72 final round..damn!
