IT'S been a tough two rounds in the US Open at Olympic with just three players under par.
Those are Tiger Woods, Mr Fixit's 40-1 tip Jim Furyk and David Toms all on -1. Woods has proven a popular pick in our competition, as has Furyk but no one has Toms on their team.
Some big names have let a lot of you down with the likes of Dustin Johnson (+9), Rory McIlroy (+10) and Luke Donald (+11) all missing the cut.
So it's well done to those who resisted the two fancied Brits. At this stage Simon Petty leads our competition with a team consisting of Woods, Dufner and Rose – all of whom have started well to give him a combined score of +6. He's closely followed by a whole host of people on +7 and +8. Here's the top contenders after Round 2.
+6 Simon Petty Woods -1 Dufner 3 Rose 4
+7 Joe Knotts Woods -1 Westwood 5 Kucher 3
+7 Sean McCready Woods -1 Dufner 3 Westwood 5
+7 Simon Westwood 5 Kucher 3 Woods -1
+7 Chris Nicholls Woods -1 Westwood 5 Dufner 3
+8 Johnathan Conor Woods -1 Scott 6 Kucher 3
+8 Malcolm Caithness Woods -1 Westwood 5 Rose 4
+8 Danny Gallagher Rose 4 Furyk -1 Poulter 5
+8 Johnathan Grieve Westwood 5 Furyk -1 Garcia 4
Good job on the tips Paul,Furyk’s looking good and McDowell and Westwood aren’t out of it. How do u tend 2 do with golf tips?
Jonathan, as you can see, especially during the football season, I don’t have much time to look at the golf. I try to do tips on the Majors but to be honest if I haven’t looked out my own selections I’ll follow Steve Palmer or Jeremy Chapman, both full-time golf tipsters and both very good. However, I’m claiming Furyk as my own and I posted his name on the site a few days before Palmer tipped him up in the Racing Post. I also flagged up McDowell and we both liked Donald’s chances but he’s gone.
Nice tipping paul, furyk especially as i would never have thought of him. Ive just put wee ew on kuchar and westwood @ 25/1 + 28/1. Westwood always seems to be there or thereabouts at majors altho never winner.
Joe, can u post your tips for tonight’s game. Yours and Tim’s must be in quarantine so result might have to be declared tomorrow. On Furyk, it’s not a good tip until the final round is over. Got to say I’d be worried about Tiger right now, he’s looking pretty good, so might have a saver on him.
Joe, forgot about the Dylan thing. Quite funny. So give me five tips for tonight and five more Dylan songs.
Ok mr gamboling man!! God thats so bad, im sorry about that.
Was that Dylan as well?
Was supposed o sound like mr tamborine man. I apologise for the crap joke.
