US MASTERS: 2-BALL TIPS

Posted on: 14 Apr 2013

AFTER last year’s third place, Peter Hanson’s Masters campaign has been bitterly disappointing but I can see him battling on for a respectable finish. His consistent record owes much to an ability to keep moving forward when all seems lost, as illustrated last week with a final round 66 in Texas. Today’s opponent Carl Pettersson clearly does not like this […]

Posted on: 12 Apr 2013

I’M standing by two sides who did so well for me last weekend. I tipped away wins for Southampton and Aston Villa – and both are at home on Saturday as they bid for another vital three points.
