PGA Tour 2022/2023 Season

I thought it might be appropriate to start a new thread for the new season.
It will be for all golf discussion and my analysis of tournaments on the PGA tour and the Majors.
With the PGA tour incorporating new changes for the season, the "fall swing" will be lower key, but nonetheless, provide an outlet for the golf sickos among us and provide an excellent challenge in finding those outright winners.
Last season I finished with 13/44 outright winners at a return of over +300 units for the season, thanks to a healthy back end leading up to the Tour Championship. Let hope for the same this season and get off to a bang early.

Pendrith is 9 shots back and made the cut by 1 :-<
Homa lead at -12 and is playing beautiful golf :x
Looks like it's a Homa sweat for the weekend
You won't be disappointed
I would of been on Willet if I had a bet because that's the sort of "freak bad luck" that I am destined to cop.
Came out of the shower to see Willet had won and OMG. Can't wait to watch the highlights.
Well done Bomber.
In saying that, I've only had a small bet on the event.
Highest winning score of the week 4 and 3
5 units at $21. Collect 105 unit return
This week -5 units
Overall +179.33 with 5 alive.
Good viewing

Denny sits at -1 with the rest at even or worse.
Theegala revealed his wisdom teeth are giving him the shots and is playing through the pain. This would have been handy info before the start of play and it again begs the question why there isn't a "injury" report of some description publically acknowledged on most sports.
Harris English carded a +3 with 6 birdies!.....this was disappointing on face value but if he can get rid of the doubles and triples he should score well in round 2 and get back in it
Sits T2 at -5, 1 shot off the lead.
In 60 years there have only been 2 instances where a teenager has gone back to back week wins.
1962 and 2016 (Lydia Ko)
My blokes are pretty much out of it, but never say never.
Taylor Montgomery at -9, both Burns and McCarthy sit at -6 and Davis Thompson at -4. You realistically could not give anyone behind Montgomery a chance.
In saying that, I've lobbed 2.5 units on an old favorite, Garrick Higgo at $15 to win tomorrow. He is 3 back in 3rf spot and hadn't shown anything since his maiden win last season at Congaree. He was $501 pre tournament with good reason, but being now only 3 back with many of the top guys being unknowns, it's a great chance for him
2.5 units at $15 to return 37.5 units
Good luck

She semi shat the bed last night shooting +1 for the day. At one stage was +3 and 6 back, now sits 3 back within striking distance. Not sure what happened to her game early but I expect her to bounce back tomorrow and hopefully win again.
My primary selections before round 1 saw the best of them being Taylor Montgomery with a -12 finish, 5 shots behind the eventual playoff guys Mackenzie Hughes and Big Ox Straka. They were never really in it unfortunately after lack luster middle rounds
My bet before round 4 Garrick Higgo ended up just missing by one shot and finished on -16. He had a great chance on 17 to birdie but it was not to be. He was $501 before the tournament, and with good reason, as he missed 13/22 cuts last season. Good to see him back in form.
Mackenzie Hughes won the playoff in 2 holes, nailing a 10 foot birdie. He probably felt a little snubbed last week for the Presidents cup and rammed home his worth. It was his first win in 6 years.
The Shriners starts on Thursday with a host of big names playing.
Update +144.93 units for the season.

Next best of mine are my saviours, Homa and Cantlay, both at -4 with solid rounds. Homa played morning while Cantlay played the afternoon, so will switch come round 2.
My longest roughy NeSmith cards a -3 which could have been better. Glad he is in the morning groups on round 2
Fowler, Montgomery and Burmester at -1, -1 and E and will need to get their skates on. Fowler was -2 way after 4 holes and then had a double on the 9th to destroy that nine. 2 more birdies and a bogey settled him at -1, 7 back.
As a side, my girl Thitikul sits 3 back in T4 at -5 after a late charge from the leader on -8. She is sitting pretty after one round.

Tom Kim and Cantlay tied at the top at -19
NeSmith 3 back in 3rd with a further 1 shot back to Sunjae at -15
Come on Tom or NeSmith!
He was rock solid all day long and coming to the last, was tied with Cantlay at -24 with NeSmith on -21
Cantlay after driving the ball unbelievable all week, takes 3 wood and hooks it into the bush. Tried to chop out, failed, dropped, hit his 4th in the after and then after another penalty drops a 30 foot bomb for a 7, allowing Nesmith to capture T2 with him. Kim safely on for two and two pitted for a 3 stroke win!
On the mark this week with those 3 and Sunjae also on the mix.
After 3 tournaments this season already 2 outrights home so looking good early doors
This week 30 out
Collects 132.4
Nett 102.4 units
Season +219.27 units

As most who follow, I've been on him all last season and first two this season for zero collect.
He leads by 3 mid way through round 3.
It might actually break me if he wins. He was $91 pre tournament and I thought it should have been more and didn't include him .

Still going great guns H, can't win them all.
I have noticed you have streamlined and dumped the Frl spec bets...a great move I nearly mentioned that last season a few times seem to be a money chewer.
