A FEW weeks off has left me raring to go again, my love affair with Justin Thomas now over I feel refreshed and raring to go.
Multiple liquid lunches and red Thai curry Weightwatchers meals has given me the clarity and focus I needed to return to the winner's circle once again. The Slice must reclaim his throne after a poor showing last time out losing 15 points – but still keeping a healthy profit of 45 points overall .
Before the golf starts I can highly recommend ITV's new drama CHEAT, not a great name but epic viewing, Mr Grove from Mr Selfridge is in it, jeez I wish that was still on.
Players Championship
After a watching brief last week at the Arnold Palmer I saw Henrik in the featured groups post a +5 first round, ditch his caddy and return to the female caddy he previously had and show sensational form, getting to -7 for the tournament at one stage and not missing any fairways.
Imperious play by the Gothenburg resident and the intimidating funny man is my one and only selection for the Players Championship at a super 66/1 this week.
Kenya Open
The Kenya open is a perfect chance for world number 259 Kalle Samooja.
The Finn has a superb record at challenge tour level and given this is now a European tour event with little to worry you in the field this looks like Samoojas chance , 3rd last year , a big unit who hits it a long way , make it happen Mr Samooja .
To get you in the spirit this week as all selections come from Scandinavia, I suggest you sit in your boxers with the curtains closed and have Abba on repeat while watching Jari Litmanens best ever goals and eating those little hot dogs you get from Ikea. Wouldn't oppose anybody putting Mabel's new song cold heart on too, she's Swedish, daughter of Nenah cherry, serious performer.
Have a super week and come on let's have it.
Shout out to regular follower Shorty who appears to be missing in action…
