John Deere Classic

[abcs]

Alright fellas lets get a head start.. Still been treading water. Only up like 50 bucks since I returned from my hiatus. Went 2 - 2 last week on matchups, and cashed a 8/1 and 4.4/1 top 5 ticket. A lot of the big names will be heading over to Scotland to get ready for the British. Im pretty sure Mickelson won it last year, which was a huge surprise. I think im just gonna stick to the pga tour this week since I cant ever figure out the euro event.
Anyway, here is the field..Im sure a lot of people will drop out come tee time. John Deere is also using the Mavericks Jet to fly people to the British on Sunday.. hoping to get a better field.

First off, its a surprise to see Wetterich in a field..who hasnt played since the memorial. Kenny Perry is obviously the man to beat. Zach Johnson returns to his home state, he has been resting an injury.. I would say stay far away from him.
Jamie Lovemark is a complete stud.. look out for him in a few years.

 

[OTK]

Already looking ahead I see. Never a bad thing to get a head start on the books. I was hoping to fade Daly once again, but I can see he is not in the field. Johnson might be a good fade. He struggled at this event last year, and like you said he's been resting an injury. Armour III could be a strong play as well. He's been playing extremely well lately, and finished top 20 in this event last year. Like you said though, Perry is obviously the favorite to win.

 

[abcs]

Also this has to be calcs first event in a while. I remember he was hurt real bad at the open when i faded him and he had to wd..

Pretty good field

 

[abcs]

Wetterich Wd'd.. no surprise. Right now I love Kenny Perry over Zach Johnson.. its a shame i cant get at it right now.. -145 is steep though

 

[OTK]

Kenny Perry is actually -170 to finish in the top 10. He seems to be the massive favorite this week.

 

[abcs]

Yea with camillo dropping out , this field is a complete joke. -170 is rather cheap imo. He also has a nice record at the John Deere.

 

[abcs]

Kenny Perry -170 over Zach Johnson (Shitty Line I got, its -150 at The Greek) 72 holes

 

[abcs]

Todd Hamilton -130 over Mark Calcavechia 72 Holes

 

[abcs]

Kevin Sutherland -130 over Ryan Moore 72 Holes

 

[abcs]

Charlie Wi -130 over Jason Gore 72 Holes

I read this..

I was following Jason Gore's group(which included the leader at the time, Jeff Overton) at the AT&T National this past Friday. While walking between the 9th and 10th holes I noticed that he was limping. As the round went on he continued walk more and more gingerly on it. He ended up withdrawing a few holes later. I'm sure it was easy to do since he did not have a good round going at that point. Anyone heard about an injury me may have suffered?

Going small on this one..:think2:

 

[abcs]

Smaller Plays on..
Matteson -130 over Kanada

Flannagan -125 over Triplett (Kirks first tourney of the year)

 

[OTK]

Good info as always. Where'd you read that? I might have to fade Gore and Calc with ya, but I'm just taking a look at the matchups for the first time now.

 

[abcs]

Well I knew he wd .. so i just googled it, i knew he had been sick with some random disease. Most of plays are injury fades again. Kanada withdrew last week after shooting 79. Triplett hasnt played all year.

I like Pappas this week, he monday qualified been playing well.. Ill post my leans to win in a bit

 

[abcs]

The state of my game is -- it's rusty; I can't lie about that. I was cleared to play this past -- a week ago today, to actually start hitting balls. I sustained a minor injury to my left wrist, so it's been a process to kind of get the feelings back. My tempo is not very good and that sort of thing.
But at the same time, my expectations are minimal, if anything. I don't even have any expectations, so sometimes that's a good thing. I've had a lot of high expectations throughout the year because I've playing good, I think, I just haven't been scoring. So maybe this is a way to adjust that.
But I mean, it's all a work in progress. I would have loved to have played last week. Obviously the 4th of July in D.C. would have given me a week to play competitive rounds coming into John Deere, but it didn't work out like that, so I needed to take time off unfortunately. But I'm anxious to play

Q. Was there ever a concern about you being able to play here this week?
ZACH JOHNSON: Yeah, absolutely. I didn't know how long it would take. I've never experienced anything quite like this. You know, last year I didn't get to play in D.C., and -- I've played Congressional and I love it, love everything about it. Especially around the 4th I think it would be fantastic. I've got some friends that were out in the Middle East so I would have loved to have played there last year and this year, but I haven't done that yet, so I really wanted to play last week, too, but it just didn't work out. So given that, yeah, there was a chance that it could have kept me out longer.
If I would have hit balls at a certain point, the way the doctor explains it to me, I could have been out even longer. I had to lay off and do nothing.
