Nedbank Golf Challenge

bjorn is out because of neck injury, francesco molinari takes his place. westwood took it last year, he seems able to handle the heat out there, i say it's fair enough to say he'll wipe the course again this year, but schwartzel looks pretty good imo as well.

So can we take a bet on Daryn Clark ... ''most shooters at the 19th''....

anyone think that Charl can recover to make top 3 ? 4/1 being offered, i took a nibble.

Westwood past the post.

Tommy I have laid Westwood @ 1.09......I am pretty sure he wont blow the tournament ,but if he somehow drops a couple of shots early I can probably do a good trade,cos that is hellish short for a golf tournament with 18 holes to play.
Have put in my stop-loss at 1.05 so cant get badly hurt,but could get a good return if he gambles late tonight and hooks one into the bush early.......lol.
It will also depend if any of the -9's have made any progress by the time he tee's off.

True Rob, a good trading position to be in if one so desires!!

He just loves the course and obviously loves Sun City.

Hoping that Charl can shoot a 64 or something and make things interesting.

Thats the beauty of exchanges Tommy....betting,not on the result per-se,but on changing positions.....makes the whole event so much more interesting!

Rob do you tend to preload your requests at a certain % or just play it by ear as the game progresses?

Dave,Generally I wait for those times in events where you get that feeling that tides are turning but it varies sport to sport ,obviously.
I do have certain "rule"positions.They are based on situations which are only volatile one way.ie today.....Westwood should win easily but how much can he shorten,and how quickly from 1.09.....but 2 very wayward shots could push it to 1/1 & we can cash some chips.
Have stopped the loss by loading a complete buy-back at 1.05 !
