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 […]

WALES have turned into draw specialists since reaching the Euro 2016 finals. Chris Coleman’s men have drawn their last three and a fourth is on the agenda when they face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. A stalemate will suit the Irish after a barnstorming start to Group x. They top the table with 10 points for four games while […]

FOR the 10th time in a row, in fact since its inception, the Coco Beach Golf and Country Club hosts the Puerto Rico Open. One of the longest tests of the year, the 7506-yard par 72 has large greens which helps when the wind blows, as it does regularly. With temperatures of 80F, a persistent threat of rain and easterly […]

A COUPLE of weeks ago we had “Woodwork Gate” where BetVictor refused to pay out on several punters’ winning lines after they claimed the ball left the field of play after Falcao struck the post in the Nou Camp. It was a ridiculous rule, which to be fair to BetVictor they quickly saw sense on and paid out, albeit after […]

THERE are three hot strikers in the Premier League and all to score this weekend pays 15-1 at 888sport. The players scoring for fun are Bournemouth’s Josh King, Everton’s Romelu Lukaku and Southampton’s Manolo Gabbiadini. Let’s start with King who missed a penalty then went on to net a hat-trick against West Ham last week. That took the Norwegian striker’s […]

ARNOLD PALMER may have passed away last year but the Arnold Palmer Invitational lives on. The tournament returns to the Bay Hill Club and Lodge where it has been held since 1979. The course has 84 bunkers and water is in play on half the holes but land in the right area and low scores are possible here. I think […]

MONACO love to play wide open and it was a tactic that ended up costing them at the Etihad. Their 5-3 defeat to Man City was one of the games of the season but the French should have shored it up after taking a 3-2 lead. Instead after missing a penalty they conceded three more and a 5-3 defeat leaves […]

WIN 1-0 tonight and Leicester will line up in the star-studded Champions League quarter-finals. It sounds easy enough (best price 12-1 at McBookie) but their task could be more complicated than a Shakespeare plot. Sevilla are the visitors to the King Power and La Liga’s third best team should be too strong for the Foxes. They mean business having rested […]

CELTIC fans are supremely confident ahead of the fourth Old Firm clash of the season – and rightly so. Brendan Rodgers’s side have racked up 28 wins in a row and have beaten Rangers three times this season. In his first season they are now just 5-4 with McBookie to become Invincibles and as each game is ticked it looks […]

ARSENAL players’ faces were as red as their shirts after a 10-2 tanking by Bayern Munich but that embarrassment will pale into significance if they fail to beat Lincoln. After two 5-1 batterings by the Germans Arsene Wenger’s men will have to put away the non-league giantkillers without a scare and book an FA Cup semi-final place. Lincoln have performed heroics […]

BARCELONA’S comeback last night was pure theatre but it wasn’t the most astonishing thing that happened in the eyes of thousands of punters on social media. Sergi Roberto’s dramatic last-minute strike sent the Nou Camp in to raptures and was cause for punters up and down the country who had backed Barca to qualify to jump for joy. None more […]

THE Valspar Open was first staged at the Copperhead Course, Palm Harbour, Florida in 2000. The course underwent a $4.5 million restoration in 2015, has tight tree-lined fairways and is ranked sixth hardest on the PGA Tour. I think GIR and putting could be stats to look at. After winning three times early in the season Justin Thomas had a […]

THE Gary Player Course at the DLF Golf and Country Club, New Delhi, is the host of this week’s Hero Indian Open. It’s a par 72, 7654-yard track and was fully opened in 2015 and joins the Arnold Palmer course on the development. A feature is two large lakes and large undulating greens. The front nine has an island green […]

DID everyone enjoy the Take Zlat show at Wembley last week? Bookies didn’t have their Greatest Day. They were taken to the cleaners as Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted first and last in Man United’s EFL Cup Final win against Southampton. I tipped the super Swede to Shine and insisted it Could be Magic if he netted first. Big Zlatan’s back in […]

THE Club de Golf Chapultepec is host to the first World Golf Championship of the year, the WGC-Mexico Championship. The course is 7330 yards and a par 71 but will play about 10 per cent shorter as it is at altitude. The fairways are kikuyu grass with the greens a mix of Poa and bentgrass not unlike Riviera where Dustin […]

THE Tshwane Open rolls up to the Pretoria Country Club for the third year in a row but unfortunately it hasn’t got a great field. The course is quite tight and water comes into play at quite a few holes and the greens are quite small and undulating. Highly-regarded South African Dean Burmester looks a good fit for this one. […]

THERE’S a big lower-league card in England with Brighton v Newcastle being the standout encounter. Leaders Brighton face second-placed Newcastle with both sides desperate for automatic promotion but knowing Huddersfield and Leeds are chasing hard. The Seagulls’ form is better – losing one out of 19 home games and two defeats in 27. Newcastle are unbeaten in eight but have […]
