Portugal Masters/McGladrey Classic

[dandydons1903]

2 good events in the world of golf this week.

On the European Tour we head to Portugal with Kaymer,Harrington and Dyson the big names taking part.

My picks this week,

Thomas Aiken@35/1 - I'm on the South African again after he grabbed a 5th place for me last week. Was 27th here last year but that was with a dissapointing final round 74, he is a different player this season.
Gonzalo Fernanadez-Castano@35/1 - Gonzo was 6th last week and came 2nd here last year expect him to be knocking on the door again this week
Pablo Larrazabal@55/1 - Won for me earlier on in the season and this course should set up nicely for him as he likes to bomb it out there.
Oliver Wilson@70/1 - 18th last week so I don't see why I should give up on him as he has a good recent record around here.

In the US we have the 2nd playing of the McGladrey Classic. Webb Simpson is looking to close in on Luke Donald's lead at the top of the US Money List.

I'm on,

Spencer Levin@35/1 - Two top tens in his last two events, had a good season needs a win to make it a great season.
Bud Cauley@40/1 - Was 3rd for me last week, this youngster is fearless with a great putting stroke, a star in the making.
Chad Campbell@60/1 - Showing signs that he getting back to where he was a few years ago, no 1 in greens in regulation
Brain Gay@90/1 - Not in form but this seaside track requires precision iron play and accuracy of the tee. Gay fits the bill.

Finally got back to winning ways last week with Thomas Aiken's 5th place finish.
This week I'm on Aiken again at 33/1 along with:
A Noren 28/1
P Larrazabal 60/1
O Wilson 80/1
P Martin 150/1

On Quiros to beat Aiken this morning

Quiros won by a couple

And it was still a good round from my boy Aiken, so worked out well.



In the US gone with,

Gay to beat Chad Campbell

G-Mac to beat Furyk

[dandydons1903]

Gay won his match but G-Mac lost his, so up slightly after that.


Overall after two rounds in both events, Aiken and Larrazabal still in with a shout, Wilson and Gonzo missed the cut
Cauley has a slight chance, Levin is too far back with Gay and Campbell missing the cut
