Arnold Palmer Invitational

[lostinamerica]

Outrights:

Rocco Mediate(125/1) e.w.
- - I probably should have expected this price, but I surely didn't.

David Toms(50/1) e.w.
- - I should have stuck with Pat Perez and Retief Goosen for another week, but I surely didn't.

Too many other names just sitting on my long list for now to call it a short list.

Here is what I got this week..All plays for 72 holes

Stroud -105 over Mclachin
Just read last weeks writeup, then look at Parkers ball striking stats from this past week.. Even though stroud is new on this course I will take him.

Greg Kraft -125 over Kyle Stanley
Kraft has been dog shit all year. He showed sgns of life a couple weeks ago and although mc last week, he didn't play 'that poorly'. It looks to me like his game is coming around. Kyle is an amatuer who got a special invite to play. He mc here last year and just shot like 75 - 74 at some college golf tourney. I will take a pro, in his home state at only 25 cents. Thanks..
Ryo Ishikawa (Tourn) -105 vs Michael Campbell (Tourn)
Kenny Perry -160 over Vijay Singh

Anyone know what type of player this course favors.

I usually have a decent memory of golf tournaments and I cant remember too much from this event.

$105.00 $100.00 Pending 3/26/09 9:11am PGA Golf 201 Ryo Ishikawa (Tourn) -105 vs Michael Campbell (Tourn)

Had to do it.. Ryo played 1 good round and 3 horrible ones last week. He basically is 1 for 5 in rounds on US Soil. However, I am banking on him hopefully making the cut and finishing in the 70 range. I think just playing 2 rounds might be enough, and maybe Cambo will WD again,
?It seems ages since I last played a full four rounds so hopefully my shoulder will be okay to play this week,? said Campbell.

?I would have liked to return much earlier but my shoulder just wasn?t 100% and that?s also the reason for not deciding to play last week.

?So it's a week to week thing at present so we will see how things go this week.

?I?ve never been absent from the game for so long and I?ve missed the competition but the main concern is my shoulder.

?If I am okay I?ve then got a couple of events to shake off all the rust in my game before heading to Augusta and the U.S. Masters.?

Just don't see how he can play 4 competitive rounds.. I just hope Ryo doesnt come out and shoot 80 80.. this kid needs to step up.

This is one of those plays where I can almost guarantee that it will be cashed one way or the other by Friday afternoon ..

This article from 2003 regarding some persistent criticism about this event sheds some light on what type of player Bay Hill favors.

Good news and bad news at this Arnold Palmer Deal, AKA The Bay Hill Invit. Bad news is Woods has won half of the last ten tournaments here, and he's ready to win this one too. Good news is that everyone elses odds are up by 25%.

These guys caught my interest last Sunday while looking ahead for this tourney. These are Betfair odds from Sunday night. OHair 32.00--- Singh 36.00---Goosen 27.00---Mediate 130.00---and the guy I bet on to win---

D J Trajan 81.00

I like DJ's past year at Bay Hill and his recent outings this year. I hope he wins.

 

[Tommyjay]

I forgot. The guys I don't like, or better said, the guys I like to fade are Kelly, Haas and Merrick. All got cut last year.

4 72 hole plays so far ... k perry -125 vs v singh, r allenby -125 vs a scott, j dufner -125 vs p goydos, r allenby -125 vs v singh (all at pinnacle) ... gl

These lines got beat up severely. I am waiting to hear a report on Vijay, before I hop aboard the fade train

 

[DerrickTulips]

Im lookin at one more. Padraig played better last week but his ball striking stats were putrid. I cant decide what i want to do.. hoping some info gets out to the media soon

 

[AK2009Masters]

to me, vijay's actions speak louder than his words will ... his play has been poor, and wd'ing last week is not a good indication of his mindset ... he can say all the right things i will go against him until i see results on the course ... that's not to say he can't perform well but i'll fade until i see otherwise

 

[DerrickTulips]

Kenny Perry -160 over Vijay Singh


Risking a little less than the other plays on this.

One thing I have noticed is lets not harp too much on course history. So i will make this play..

JB Holmes at Scottsdale
Ogilvy at Doral
Mickelson at Scottsdale
Ohair defending champ last week..

 

[Dallasbetgolf]

I am going to cede the win to The Chosen One...I just think that he's a lock. (but I don't want him at 2 1/2 to 1...LOL)

I am buying Place and Show tickets only, on some fairly long shots. I do like Perry and Furyk, but their odds are too low for me.

Sean O'Hair 15-1 for Place and 7 1/2 for Show

Brett Quigley 30-1 for Place and 15-1 for Show

D.J Trahan 30-1 for Place and 15-1 for Show

Chad Campbell 40-1 for Place and 20-1 for Show

good luck to all!

I do detect the smell of cash in the air..

Gotta love Ryo
MARK STEVENS: We'd like to welcome Ryo Ishikawa to the media center. He's playing in his third PGA TOUR event this week. Earlier today he had a chance to meet Mr. Palmer.
If you would start off and give us some general comments about being at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and your thoughts about meeting Mr. Palmer this morning.
RYO ISHIKAWA: Hello, everyone. Okay, I have been in Florida for two weeks now, and I've found that orange juice tastes great, and hamburger. So I'm enjoying America.
I'm so honored when I received Mr. Palmer's invitation to this tournament. It is going to be my lifetime treasure.
I just met Mr. Palmer this morning. It was my wonderful memory, and it's hard to explain how I feel at the moment. But I could feel he's warm-hearted person just shaking hands.
Now, I've played two PGA TOUR events, and I realize how difficult it is to make the cut. But at the same time, I got used to -- I got used to the atmosphere. So I hope to play my golf this week and make the cut again.
Thank you for your attention.
