Olympic Golf

Stenson 5/1 5 places. My Max bet,

Not much depth in the field.

Agree mayo. I just wonder how much players prioritise the Olympics, I got the impression in 2012 when Murray won the gold that no-one else really cared that much.
Would Stenson prefer a major or an Olympic gold ?
If you know the answer to that you can probably bet with confidence.....

"If I make myself and my country happy, that would be something very special," Stenson said prior to this week's Scottish Open. "I have a few nice trophies at home, and it would be nice to hang an Olympic medal next to them. I think that would look kind of cool.

"I'm in a different situation and it might be the only time when it's a competitive advantage to be 40-plus and done with the bambino thing. I've got three kids at home and I'm not looking to have any more. I might be in a different situation then, but the Zika virus is not a concern of mine."

One man that does love representing his country is Patrick Reed, and at 16s I think he represents a bit of value.
Back to back top 20s at Troon and Baltusrol show he's in some sort of form, his driving accuracy is the problem but I've seen the course guide and it looks a wide open course with few penalties for errant drives.
Stenson is a worthy fav if he's committed to the cause, Reed I think just offers that bit more value....

It's Pod for me, 40/1 e/w 5 places

Stenson nicely positioned. Course is apparently like some of aussie ones. Their two guys are going well.

Yep agreed, Stenson looks in a good spot.
Reed looks cooked so I'll cheer Stenson on for Mayo

Great bet mayo, not quite the cigar you wanted but each way insurance ensures you don't lose...

Got a good run for my money.
