Golf: Ace’s US Open Tips
OAKMONT, rated as the toughest course in America, hosts the US Open for an unprecedented ninth time this week. It was built 112 years ago and is unforgiving as industrialist Henry C Fownes, who designed it, believed a poor shot should be penalised. As per usual the United States...
Golf: FedEx St Jude Classic Tips
THE TPC Southwind, which this week hosts the 59th edition of the FedEx St Jude Classic, is one of the most challenging par 70s on the PGA Tour. It was interesting to read that not one of the top 11 finishers last year were in the top 10 for...

Golf: Trophee Hassan II Tips
THE European Tour moves from China to the 7487 yard par-72 Red Course in Dar-Es-Salaam, Morocco for the Trophee Hassan II. It’s not the greatest field and quite difficult picking a winner here but I have to stick with Frenchman Alexander Levy,who has travelled from Portugal to China and back...
Golf: Wells Fargo Championship Tips

FOR the second week running the European Tour stays in China for the Volvo China Open. The par-72 Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing hosts the tournament for the first time and I am having to decide on whether to pick guys who have rested up over the...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Zurich Classic Tips
FOR the 10th consecutive season the TPC Louisiana hosts the Zurich where last year’s winner Justin Rose returns with Jason Day and Rickie Fowler. These three are the main names in the field but although they are top of the betting lists I think someone at a bigger price...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Shenzhen International Tips
The European Tour players who are taking part in the Shenzhen International make the long journey to China this week. Hopefully the long flight hasn’t taken anything out of American Peter Uihlein who was taking part in the Open de Espana last week. He scores well when he’s over...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Valero Open Tips
THE TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) in Texas has hosted the Valero Open since 2010. There were only 10 players under par last year and the scoring average was 74.52 which was the highest on Tour. There is a good field for this week including last week’s winner Branden...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 4 Tips
ACE had two winners and a draw with his twoball selections yesterday so let's see if he can make it a full house tonight. He says: “Luke Donald (21-20) and Charley Hoffman (11-10) both saw off their playing partners to make up for my other selections in the RBC...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 3 Tips
MY outright tips for the RBC Heritage haven't performed well with Paul Casey and Matthew Fitzpatrick both missing the cut. Kevin Kisner at least made the third round but is struggling at two over. Of the two balls today I like the look of Luke Donald against Patton Kizzire....
Golf: Ace Venturer’s Spanish Open Tips
AFTER the magnificent memories of The Masters some of the stars of Augusta are back on European soil at the Spanish Open in Valderrama. I looked closely at Soren Kjeldsen but his exploits may have taken a lot out of him although he played superbly and should start climbing back...
Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Tips
AFTER a great Masters Paul Casey will be on a high for the RBC Heritage this week at the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. One of two players who had no bogeys in the final round last week – winner Danny Willett was the other – Casey is on...
Golf: US Masters Tips Day 4

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 2
IT was a pretty sensational day at the US Masters from the sublime of Jordan Spieth to the ridiculous Ernie Els. Spieth continued where he left off last year with a super 66 to lead by two and is now clear 15-8 favourite at Betway. My main antepost pick...
Who’s Paying Most Each-way places at US Masters?
THERE'S been a bit of debate on twitter as to the number of places that bookies are paying out on at Augusta versus the value of their odds. It's often the case that those bookies who pay most places don't offer anywhere near the best prices but in my...
Golf: US Masters Tips Day 1
IT'S almost here – the first round of the US Masters and for the next four days I'll be glued to the action. I can't believe it was a year ago to the day when I was setting off for a first memorable trip to Augusta and it seems...

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Arnold Palmer Invitational Tips

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Top Tips

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Top Tips

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Top Tips
PATTON KIZZIRE (20-1) gave me a T4 in the Sandersons Farms last weekend, the seventh week on the run I’ve had a top-four finish. Hopefully in the next two weeks I can round off the European season with another winner. This week the Tour stays in Shanghai for the...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS
ACE looking at four winners in five weeks when Kiradech Aphibarnrat started his final round with four birdies but he couldn’t sustain it and the 40-1 shot had to settle for third place as Victor Dubuisson too the spoils with a late birdie blitz. That 10-1 winner meant it...

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS
LAST week I mentioned Emiliano Grillo was one to watch this year but even I was shocked when he won the Frys.com Open on Sunday at 50-1. He certainly put me through the hoop when he missed a three-footer at the first extra hole but all was forgotten when...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS
SUNDAY was a great day when three of my four picks finished 1st, T2, T2 at the British Masters for a profit of 103pts and hopefully I can follow that up with another good weekend. The Tour moves on to the Portugal Masters at Vilamoura and, believe it or...

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS
HENRIK STENSON'S 7-iron into the 187-yard par-three 16th at the Deutsche Bank wasn’t what Ace expected from the big Swede. He only needed to par the final three holes to prevent Rickie Fowler from winning but after landing in the water he could only manage a double bogey five...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING PREVIEW
FIRST of all well done to anyone who picked a winner last weekend. Rickie Fowler (2nd) and Danny Lee (T4) gave me a small each-way return at the Quickens National Loans so I can’t complain. This week it's the WGC Bridgestone at the Firestone Country Club in Akron with...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS

GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS

THE OPEN 4TH RD: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
WHO would have thought the second Ashes Test would have finished before The Open! That's how it is after England's cricketers caved in the Aussies at Lord's while at St Andrews play is extended to Monday for only the second time in the tournament's 144-year history. It was all...
