SEMI-FINALS are usually cagey but Saturday’s Hibs v Aberdeen tie was anything but – and later we saw even more action in the Chelsea-Spurs FA Cup semi-final. Early goals always help of course and Aberdeen were in front after 12 seconds. It’s probably my quickest first-scorer winner as I tipped Adam Rooney at 4-1. I also recommended Aberdeen to win […]

WITH four of the top six in FA Cup semi-final action the focus today is on the battle to beat the drop from the Premier League. Managers always talk about the magic 40-point mark but clubs with 37 or 38 points should be safe this season. Sunderland are almost away and Middlesbrough need a minor miracle to survive so that […]

THE 7435 yards par 72 TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks) once again hosts the Valero Texas Open and will provide a tough test for competitors. Opened in 2010, Masters champion Sergio Garcia was a consultant to chief designer Greg Norman. The Oaks Course meanders through the hills with narrow fairways and bunkers as deep as 12 feet. With native vegetation […]

ALEXANDER LEVY won the China Open when it was first staged at Shenzen in 2014 and the Frenchman enjoys his trips to the country. With top-30 finishes on his last seven trips to China including a fifth in his debut in this competition two years ago he loves the hospitality and courses. As a former course winner this 7200-yard, tree-lined track holds no […]

IT’S a hectic spell for teams in England’s lower leagues and at this stage of the season it’s more about stamina than quality. In the Championship Brighton are within touching distance of the title and a price of around 1-2 at home to relegation-threatened Wigan is fine for accumulators. Newcastle are now four points off the pace but just about […]

SPURS are doing their best to put a bit of pressure on Chelsea and it will be interesting to see how the leaders handle a trip to Old Trafford. They face a tough test on paper but Man United’s focus is on the Europa League which gives Jose Mourinho the best chance of qualifying for the Champions League. He could […]

FIVE wins out of six have moved Crystal Palace to the brink of safety – and they can take a huge leap up the table today. Palace’s impressive 3-0 defeat of Arsenal on Tuesday lifted them six points clear of the drop zone and just three points behind Watford in tenth. Sam Allardyce is working his magic again and today’s […]

LEICESTER’S Champions League dream is likely to be shattered on Wednesday as they face the might of Atletico Madrid. The Foxes shocked Sevilla in this previous round but could struggle against a side that’s reached two finals in three years. Diego Simone’s side can’t lift La Liga this season so will be fully focused on this tie – as is […]

THEY say it all happens over the last nine holes at Augusta and boy were they right. Superb iron shots, missed putts, lead going one way then the other and above all two friends egging on each other made the final round of the Masters brilliant viewing and a great advert for the game. Although he beat my 28-1 selection […]

THE Royal Dar-es-Salaam course hosts the Trophee Hassan II and is regarded as one of the toughest tracks on the African continent. It is a massive 7487-yard par 72 with its rolling terrain winding through forests of oak, cork and eucalyptus trees. The signature hole is the par-three 9th which has a lily pond with flamingos. Putting looks to be […]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE football resumes tonight with two cracking ties. Punters will struggle to choose between Borussia Dortmund v Monaco and Juventus v Barcelona as the quarter-finals kick off. I’ll start by watching the game in Germany simply because it could be goal-laden between two attacking sides. Coaches Thomas Tuchel and Leonardo Jardim reckon attack’s the best form of defence – Man […]

THERE should be a thrilling finish to the Masters tonight with four shots separating the top seven. England’s Justin Rose shares the lead on six under with Spain’s Sergio Garcia going into the final round at Augusta. Rose would be a winner for Ace Venturer while Garcia would be a popular choice to land his first Major after so many failed […]

ABERDEEN are aiming for 11 home wins in a row tomorrow and bookies were dangling a carrot in front of punters. Not for the first time this season they’d priced up Rangers wrongly and punters weighed in. A few days ago flagged up the fact Aberdeen looked massive at 13-10 with McBookie and Betfred – now they are a best evens […]

IT’S now a two-horse race for the Premier League title – although Spurs will have to go some to catch Chelsea. They trail their London rivals by seven points but it could have been 10 if it hadn’t been for a superb late comeback at Swansea on Wednesday. Spurs can close the gap to four by beating Watford in the […]

DUSTIN JOHNSON was red-hot favourite for the Masters but his hopes of a first Green Jacket may have been scuppered by a fall. The big-hitting world No.1 has all you need to win at Augusta having improved his short game – and crucially his temperament. But he doesn’t have the balance required to nip around his rented home in Georgia […]

THERE’S not much that can be added to what has already been said about Augusta. All I can say is I get goosebumps around this time of year thinking about the upcoming Masters. If like me you must think you know every blade of grass, where to land the ball off the tee and every burrow of those beautifully manicured […]

CELTIC have been made to wait until Sunday to clinch the title after Aberdeen’s win against Dundee in Friday – but doing so on April will still be impressive. Brendan Rodgers’ men remain unbeaten domestically this season and on course for the Treble and I expect them to wrap up trophy No.2 by beating Hearts at Tynecastle. Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com […]

CELTIC will be crowned Scottish champions for the sixth successive time on Sunday – or should that be seven. Brendan Rodgers’s side have swept all before them this season and are on course for not only the Treble but also to go threw the domestic season unbeaten. Their feats have impressed bookies and Scots firm McBookie have decided to pay out […]

IF Jamie Vardy’s rags-to-riches story can be made into a book there should be a play written about Leicester’s revival under Craig Shakespeare. Even Shakespeare himself would struggle to explain the turnaround since Claudio Ranieri was axed – and there will be a happy ending to the Foxes season. Relegation is no longer an issue and I’m sure Atletico Madrid […]

ABERDEEN have played like a dream to keep the Premiership title race alive but know it’s all over bar the parading of the silverware. Mathematically they can extend the race until Sunday by winning at Dundee tonight. And I’m sure even Celtic players would prefer that scenario and the chance to seal the deal under their own steam at Hearts on […]

THE Golf Club of Houston provides a cracking warm-up for next week’s US Masters. Host of the Shell Houston Open, organisers pride themselves on the fact that with shaved banks, collection areas around the greens and putting surfaces that run to 13 on the Stimpmeter it is similar to Augusta. Built across a wooded landscape in the suburbs of Houston it […]

OVER the years everyone who has written about Augusta has mentioned the lush, undulating fairways, white sand bunkers, slick greens and the colourful azaleas but for me it’s been the excitement that it has thrown up over the years. One of my abiding memories is Scot Alexander Lyle in 1988 going up the 18th needing a birdie to win the […]

ENGLAND don’t have any worries about World Cup qualification and should sweep aside Lithuania with the minimum of ease. The Baltic nation will come to Wembley looking for a point and may be difficult to break down. To win the home men are no bigger than 1-8 at bet365 but Lithuania will offer little up top so best bet could England […]

IT’S D-Day for Scotland who must beat Slovenia at home or write off yet another qualifying campaign after just five games. Gordon Strachan’s men have taken just one point from nine and are uneasy favourites to win at Hampden against a side unbeaten in seven. Slovenis have started Group F well and haven’t lost in four and look big at 12-5 with […]

The WGC-Dell Match-play returns to Austin Country Club for the second year in a row and there is a stellar field taking part. I hate betting on match-play tournaments as in most cases it’s a lucky dip. However, I’ll select a few sections and hopefully pick some winners from that. In Group 6 there is Justin Thomas, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Kevin […]
