well hello and a very warm welcome to another episode of The Sweet Spot here on the racing post brought to you in association with AK bets your place to come for golf betting advice now a new face joins us a familiar face not the usual Steve Palmer instead James Mason James how are you I’m very good thank you I think we we’ve crossed paths a few times before on the old Greyhound TV didn’t we uh when used to come on into a few halfway selections or or tipping tipping bets for you and you’ve still got a bit of the Annie muray about you so forever we’ll call you mice the ice I keep getting this a lot I don’t quite see it um but apparently you do Dave so we’ll stick with it I’ve had I’ve had worse comparison so it’s all right good stuff all good do of course remember to like comment and subscribe thanks for your plenty of comments last week and plenty of you followed Steve in with handy Blandy Richard Bland doing the business as well but we’ll get on to that where is Steve of course when trippy tipser is out sunning himself as you can see here in his mvg get up as well so went break for Steve and he’ll be back very soon right James how’s your form not too bad actually um I have to say I tried to catch as much of the golf as I could last weekend but it was a it was a busy one um I had one of my best mates uh wedding so I was best man for him on Sunday so that was obviously quite uh quite quite a long day uh but no it very good um managed to catch like I said bits of the golf and some of the highlights and yeah I think I’m I’m rearings go ready for ready for this week’s events good man add did the speech go down I think it went well I mean no no one’s going to say it was terrible um but it was I think it got up to about 13 odd minutes long um but I had a slideshow projector all all all this all the bits going on so it no it was very very good I was I found myself very nervous about 10 minutes before I was due to do it I was absolutely fine throughout the whole day leading up to it and then 10 10 minutes before I thought oh dear imagine imagine if this goes wrong um but thankfully it didn’t so yeah it was good good stuff presentation everything next time you’re on James maybe ask a bit more of you and perhaps show your workings out on how you get into all these selections with models and all sorts going on anyway right we’re of course bought to in

forworth last week there was a little bit more than a golf tournament going on the very sad and tragic passing of of Grayson maray which rightly was a big story last week it was it just came such out of the blue really the fact that he played the first round he withdrew after 16 holes of the second round citing illness and then obviously the news broke on Saturday just terrible really and then you think what on Earth’s gone on and obviously his his family have released the statement of what happened he’d spoken when he won in Jam read he’ spoken after the sort of six years he’d had where he was battling issues sort of off the course and just a really really sad moment in golf and it was it was a nice sort of touching tribute where the players wearing it was red and red and white armbands I think it was on the Sunday on the final round and that was because of um Grayson Murray’s love for one of his home States or his home clubs so yeah certainly there was more going on than golf but um yeah thought to I thoughts to with his family and all his friends absolutely 30 years old world number 61 as James said he withdrew second round twice win on the PJ tour 2017 Barber Soul championship and this year’s Sony Open as well so Thoughts with his family and loved ones Grace Mari right there was a golf tournament on last week James at Fort Worth um and it was won uh By Davis Riley now we went into the the final round and it was looking like it was going to be a case of Catch Me If You Can but the the cat was a certain Scotty Sheffer but it never really materialized did it it did Davis Riley perform really really well it was just a shock that Steve usually has Davis Riley in the pocket he usually puts him up most weeks and I think it’s been saying for quite a while that you know Davis Riley will win an individual event he had one early run of course that was the peirs event of the Zurich Classic that was last year I think it was but yeah this is the first IND individual tournament win for him and it was very composed when you’ve got those type of players chasing behind you sheffler Mora car Keegan Bradley he did so so well to hold them off and just hold us no over that last round five shot victory yeah certainly the future looks very very bright for Davis Riley yeah the Colts played incredibly tough didn’t it obviously shefer didn’t get off to a a great start but I think the the afternoon groups the course was playing about three over par which is kind of what it should have been last week I think minus 21 the winning score this week very tough yeah this week very tough but you know you like to see that you want to see the players tested you want to see them have to have an array of shots and you know have to hold sort of eight 10 Footers for parrent and try and sort of work the way around it a lot of course management but yeah Davis Riley was was the one to beat and nobody could I think you got to give credit to Sheffer again though what has been it have been a really strange few weeks for Sheffer with what happened at the major h and then sort of had a a triple bogey I think he had on his first round it’s you know when he’s managed to get himself back up into a tie for second once again the mental strength I think of the world number one is absolutely Sensational and you know as long as he wants to be up there I think he will still remain the person to beat going into tournaments but like we said got to give huge credit to Riley I think morawa good to see him again putting in another consistent performance because he was the man of the moment a few years ago when he won a couple of Mages went off the boil uh but he’s got himself back into some really good form at the moment so definitely marar I think is somebody to watch ahead of the Mages coming up yeah what the only other player in the field outside of the winner to shoot four rounds in the 60s there Mor car you like golf like that James I mean Steve rightly flagged up the accuracy is the name of the game and anyone who was in the rough the greens were hard and coming out the rough it was almost impossible to hold it on the green do you like it like that or do you prer minus 21 winning scores no I like it when it’s tougher I I don’t really like the sort of bombs away off the te sort of the target golf when they can when players can blast it but they can go way off course but they know because either the rough will be cut short or they’ll be in an open area that they can they can recover easily I like it when they you know they they have to hit Fairways and they’ve got to have their accuracy add a premium and obviously hold some puts but certainly I I’d rather watch Tough Golf like that then see somebody shooting you know 2021 under because I think just for someone that plays as well it’s nice to see when the pros do struggle a little bit and they you know they fail to get around some of the holes right let’s move on then shall we because the sudo open was on as well and it won by natural Ela um and this was I suppose there was a slightly hairy moment out the rough on 18 but it was pretty straightforward they were queuing up in behind but job done yeah job done and credit to him with second Victory on the DP World Tour first since 2021 the Kazo open was was the sort of the break through that he had and like he said he held his nerve it was a level par round for him 71 on the on the last day and you had some big hitters Thomas Peters Nicholas norgard that’s a good performance from him he’s you know he is an absolute brute off the te did it a long way certainly someone to keep an eye on and Roman langas again DP Willl to regular he managed to put in a good performance also but yeah Al Vera like he said a few little hairy moments but he ped his way in I think it was from the 11 hole in so just managed to do enough to hold on to that one shot Victory and his two L cracked in his warm up as well which is not ideal which is Club I think he uses a lot so far from straightforward at the start yeah I mean I I can’t say I’ve ever used a 2i in my life try yeah I find it hard enough to hit a four ir and that’s gone out of my bag now so um yeah two not the greatest but I think it just shows the quality of the players they are aren’t there that they can get over something like that and they can just concentrate on on the job at hand and yeah ala very impressive from him um one of several Spaniards who I think everybody know and they they see them in the field but they’re not quite sure what sort of a player is like but two wins on the DP World Tour you can’t really argue with that absolutely and a mention as well for Joe Dean as well I don’t know if you saw him crop up late on there James 464th in the world um and I saw an interview in which was earlier on this year he’ given up his job as delivery driver and rightly so yeah rightly so it was fantastic I remember that story was he Morrison’s delivery driver I think he was but uh he finished I think he had a a tied second finish early run in the season and obviously he’s open doors for him now with a bit more money that he’s got but yeah crept up into a tie for fifth alongside Matthew Jordan as well got to give credit to Matthew Jordan um he’s he’s playing some good stuff at the moment consistent golf it’s it’s good there’s a there’s a good few Englishmen that are coming through but you know people complain sometimes that the DP will tour the qualities may be getting filtered down because everyone wants to get to the PGA but you know if the DP will tour is a stepping stone to get to the PJ tour then so be it I think all these players that are playing at the moment on on the European circuit are enjoying it but having that sort of Carro dangling of getting to the PGA Tour that’s what you need and certainly these players if they manage to get to the US circuit it’ll be a huge achievement okay right we’ll move on then and uh the punters out there I think always always good content if you let them know how those pesky bookmakers are getting on of course AK bets here as our sponsor reported favorable results both the PJ and DP events last year however our man Steve Palmer died out handy Blandy Richard blander 8 to1 and AK suggested that the punters were taking all sorts of prices all the way down to sixes as well so one they had to wear last week but a good winner yeah a good winner I mean to be fair Bland’s been playing some decent stuff on on the live golf circuit this season um have to say I’ve Not got much love for the live golf players however I don’t I I understood Bland’s decision to move over there because he was he was touching on 50 before he went over he just won on the DP World Tour but he thought you know what I can get this kind of payday over here now and he didn’t go over saying I’m coming over here to grow the game and do all that he just basically went over and and you knew that’s what he was going over for because he just got this fantastic offer to go over and play but yeah winning winning on your senior major debut I think he said in his comments that he’s was wondering he was going to see if his game stacked up on the senior circuit because he was playing some defensive stuff on living and thankfully it did for him and it was quite touching as well because he said this victory was for his for his brother who is battling two types of cancer um from what I remember and you know was it was an emotional sort of post uh post- win interview that he had but yeah Blan definitely deserved it played very very well he’s definitely going to be Danger on the senior circuit yeah for sure and from our chat last week with Steve I think we’re just back the 50y olds and 501 year olds blind because they’re fresh in the young men the youngsters in the field might be the uh the way to go there right this week’s action then right we will kick off with the European open on the DP World Tour and every week James I know if you saw last week so I’m going to try and bring both interesting and uninteresting facts about where we’re off to now we’re going to Hamburg and I hear you ask how many bridges are there in Hamburg well I tell you there are approximately 2 and a half thousand bridges in Hamburg which is quite an impressive number and is more than Venice Amsterdam and London combined so if you like Bridges ham Hamburg is the place to go are you a fan of bridges James I can’t say I’ve been a big bridge fan to be quite honest there um having grown up in North umland though newcastle’s got got quite a bridge um but yeah that that’s that’s an interesting fact may maybe people should comment and just say what their favorite bridg is uh beneath the video as well yeah I’m sure they’ll go down well right we’re off to Green Eagle Golf Course um take it away James and know there’s I think there six par fives on this course last year which is incredible yeah I mean this is a beast so it’s played on the North Course at Green Eagles it’s known as the green monster it’s 7,882 yards par 73 seven par fours six par fivs like you mentioned there and five par three it’s a flat Parkland course it’s got wide Fairways but it has water which comes into play on varying degrees on pretty much every whole bar one so even though you’ve got a little bit of leeway off the te you still got to be quite accurate especially with your approach play 2017 that was the first time that the green Eagles staged this Tournament of course before the European open it was played in England then it moved to the k club for a bit had two tournaments in Germany and then now in Winston at Green Eagle it’s be the seventh time that they’ve held it previous winners Jordan Smith won at first time in 2017 Richard makoy Paul Casey Marcus Armitage Cal samoya and Tom McKibben won it last year of course um everyone went sort of incredible about him because he was at the same Hollywood course that Roy mcky was and I think they were trying to make comparisons between the two plays but looking at the last three winners they’ve all had a drive and a receive over 60% for the tournament and they’ve all been in the top 10 for strokes gained T to Green in terms of distance off the T it will help to have that extra bit when you look at the yardage but the kiban and samoya they were just shy of 300 yards averaging when they won Armitage was down at 276 so generally a good bit of power will help but this is an all round test and you know one that has proven hard in recent years you look at the three winning scores for the last three winners eight under six under nine under so the players they’re not going to be tearing this up even though there are six par fives to go at they are big par fives um the poor weather forecast as well will add to the challenge now Thursday is looking okay that’s sort of Sunny with a few clouds but there’s rain forecast on Friday there’s a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and then rain again on Sunday so it’ll be interesting to see how the plays sort of deal if there’s any interruptions to play 156 in the field for this one okay right and interesting you mentioned some of the previous winners five of the last six winners have all been Englishmen as well which is an interesting fact as well right let’s get the prices in then shall we with AK bets I noticed uh you mentioned Jordan Smith who’s favorite with a lot of the firms top price with AK bets a 22 to1 joint top price there um Rasmus hoard is the 20 to1 favorite Jordan Smith at 22s Tom mimers James mentioned went last year’s winner Richard Mansel and burn vburger as well among them how many in the team this week James for this event three selections three selections far away and we’re going to start with Richard Mansel you mentioned the English sort of theme there well I’m sticking with it now he’s been in solid form this season he’s had a couple top 10 he had three top 15s on the DP World Tour the last outing that was a tide 13 at the sudal open and to be honest I didn’t think the sudal open would really sort of favor Mansel because he’s a big driver can go a little bit off sometimes but you know that performance in Belgium it came after he qualified for next month’s Us open as well so he’s clearly taking the momentum from qualifying for the major takes it into the sudal open like I said did well at of course I didn’t think he would do well at um so he seems to be on the up right now confidence is high I mentioned as well that he made a couple of tweaks to his game he was interviewed during I think it was the first or second round that I saw um when you know that fantastic coverage when you see them just interviewing the players after the hit a t- shot walking down the Fairway but you know he said he made a few tweaks and he was feeling a bit more comfortable with his game which I think is absolutely fantastic going into this one he’s had three efforts at Green Eagle now he missed his cut on his debut but since then he went third and 29th so clearly sort of getting used to the nuances of this course and how best to manage it mentioned you know Manel is a really really good driver of the ball you know that’s one of his biggest assets and he’s actually 27th in accuracy this season 306 yard is his average distance so again mentioned before what the last two winners have got in terms of their driving distance it was around 296 he’s 10 yards better than them so that’s pretty good he ranks third and strokes gain T to Green as well another big asset going into it we said before seven par fours six par FS on the course he’s fourth in par four scoring and he’s fifth in par five scoring this season so that’s the cherry on the top of the mantel cake for me and I think a maiden DP wi to win it’s not far away and this should really suit him with his extra power that he has and breathe and breathe lots to take in there very good case made so I’m glad you’ve come in to cover Steve because you’ve already drawn me into that one right we’ve got two more in the te who else yeah I think I think I’ve always used to do my tips where when I did halfway tips and I was told you’ve got a minute and a half to get all these tips in and all this information so I just keep reeling it off just make sure you breathe James right just make sure you breathe in between it’s all good I do that a little breathe um but second the middle of the three tips we’ve gone for burned visb Berger 30 to one you can get him at now the Austrian he’s back on the DP World Tour that was after a couple of years away with live golf and while he’s yet return to the winner circle there’s the feeling when you sort of look at some of his play that is not far away from Landing what would be his ninth title on this circuit you know he’s a proven winner like I said moving over to live golf for a couple of years it wasn’t the right call for him I think there’s a few plays who maybe thought that but you know for vburger he didn’t give up his DP willour status so he paid the fine and whatever he had to do but he’s decided to come back now not on the live circuit anymore but vburger he’s unrivaled in Strokes J T to green and green in regulation this season so it shows how early is playing he 14th in driving accuracy 291 yards in distance average off the tea as well so that’s pretty good I mentioned the number is fine when you look at the previous winner on what they averaged and his work around the greens as well has also been topnotch he’s second in Strokes gained around the green and he’s first in scrambling and sand save so if you do miss the greens in this one you got confidence that vburger will be able to get up and down the issue for it him has been the putter his stats with the flat stick are pretty poor when I was looking at them but he was fifth here on course debut in 2019 he ended up 40th the year after so I think it’s a positive for me that he’s puted well on these greens before and there’s the hope that you know it could reignite his game on the greens coming back to a course that he has liked T to Green he absolutely fine if the putter goes well I think he’ll be hard to beat par five scoring as well he’s 20th in that and he’s ninth and Par Four scoring so M Manel he ranks very highly in those two departments yeah that’s surely going to be a a big stat coming into this par five scoring right that’s two Down Jones who else you got for us got the final selection of Joel gerbach you can get him at around 90 to one which I think is attempting price for him now he missed the cut at the sudal open last week but that was his first appearance for a couple of weeks so I’m happy to just put that down to a bit of rustiness and he only missed the cut I think it was by a shot so it it wasn’t far off um you look at his play he’s an upand Comer um he had a tied 13 at the Indian open a tied 18th at the isps Handa championship and then he was also tied third at the China open those three performances came before that Mis cut of the sudal open so he’s been putting in some really solid displays he’s one of the most accurate off the tea as well he’s third in accuracy he’s averaging around 290 plus yards in distance off the te so he gives it a decent knock with the driver mentioned a few times The Strokes gain T to greenat well he’s 18th in that 27th in greens and regulation they’re just more positives that are being added on his only outing here that came back in 2019 where he missed this cut by just a shot but he’s an improved player since then and I think he’s definitely one to watch out for i’ I’d like to chance him at those kind of odds I think he’s definitely an each way player good stuff right rind us your three so we’ve gone for Richard Manel sticking with that English theme that you mentioned ahead of the tournament burn vber and then Joel gerbach good stuff right let’s head over to Canada then shall we for the Canadian open we’re in Hamilton fifth time at this track again long PA threes here James what sort of course we looking at yeah it’s an interesting one in Ontario so 2019 was the last time that it was held here that’s when Roy marroy absolutely blitzed the field by seven strokes before that was 2012 that was when Scott piery won Jim furck won it in 2006 Bob TW in 2003 you then got to go all the way back to 1930 for the next time that it was held here so we’re not looking at that course form um but it’s a Parkland course it underwent actually it was $ 11.5 million renovation following that 2019 event it won the golf Digest renovation of the Year award for 2023 as well so there’s been a lot that’s gone on with it it was overseen by Martin Herbert was the renov ation so he’s of the UK based design of the firm of McKenzie and abber so all the greens are rebuilt he’s also created a number of deep bunkers as well because it’s not a particularly long course it’s a par 70 and it plays well this week it’s going to be playing it just over 7,000 yards it’s going to be playing 117 yards longer than it did in 2019 but still that’s not a long course when you obviously we mention the DP wil to and where that is this week you know that’s 8,000 Yards More Than This so it’s not really where the big bombers are going to be having the the advantage here it’s taking place over a composite layout as well so it comprises the west and the South courses the greens are smaller than what are usually seen on the PJ tour as well so that’s one of the defenses and with these deep bunkers that they put in around the greens as well they tried to make it harder where they can tuck pins away Treeline Fairways undulating Services I you know I I think it’s all about solid approach player this week and a hot putter weather forecast you got a of Sun Cloud over the four days but generally it looks really good no rain is due to come 156 in the field once again good stuff James has done his homework there for us which is marvelous right you mentioned 2019 Rory mroy absolutely tearing the field apart he is our favorite with AK bets if you want to get involved with maroy then it might be AK bets the place for you joint top price at 4 to1 a lot of the other firms running for cover here but if there’s any love for Rory make yourself over to AK bets their rest of the field then Tommy Fleetwood way back at 18 to1 theala at 22s Alex norren 25 Cory goners at 25 Shane Lowry at 25 as well this is just a question of are you with Rory or not I think James with such a short price favor given his fours and second in is 18 where are you off to well I’m sticking away from Rory maroy for this one actually although obviously is is C form and the form he’s in at the moment I just don’t like backing a player at that short of price I think when you’ve got 155 other players going up against you I think there’s always the chance that you know he could have an off day and I think mroy can do that sometimes sometimes he’s a little bit streaky on the greens um but yeah I’m staying away from him I’ve got three selections for this one and it’s actually one of mooy’s big mates that I’ve put for the headline one and that’s Shane Larry now he was back in the winner circle recently he partnered Roy m Roy to the Zurich Classic Glory recently um his last outing as well for Larry that was a tied sixth at the US PJ Championship interestingly after they’d won the zck Larry went yeah Rory absolutely carried me carried me through the tournament carried me through the last round um but then he’s gone to the uspga the major and put in a tied six themselves so they’re showing that as games in good fettle at the moment he took last week off as well after the major exploit so he should be nicely refreshed and ready to go he played here in 2019 and he ended up in a TI per second of course you mentioned he only found maroy too good on that day so he’s got good course form now I mentioned driving distance isn’t really key for this tournament but staying on the short stuff that will provide a better chance to attack the pins and Larry leads and driving accuracy on the PGA tour this season so nobody more reliable to hit the fairways than him as for approach play as well he’s 10th in Strokes gained approach the green now strangely Larry’s putting stats they’ve been quite disappointing this season you think Larry and it’s all about how much of a good short game he has and how good he is around the greens you know his the soft hands that he has and what he can do with the wedges you know it’s unusual that he’s so far down in the putting stats as well but a big positive for me with the flat stick is that it was working well at the PJ championship in the major he was second in Strokes game putting in that tournament so hopefully for me that form can continue this week but I just think he’s a I think he’s a really big price I think but Ma being so short it’s given bigger prices to players in behind him he have considerable talent and of course Larry a major winner good stuff at a pony 25 to1 Shane Larry I mentioned last week as well AK bets very quick out the traps I was checking the prices out on Monday one of the first firms up so if You’ like to try and steal a March perhaps AK bets is the place for you to go for your golf punting right James that’s one who else have we got for us well we’ve gone for Aaron Ry is the second selection at 40 to one it’s yet to break his PJ to duck but he has been getting closer there’ve been a few occasions where he’s been in contention and just fallen short slightly he’d be making his course debut this week but I’ve been impressed in his last two editions of the Canadian open he was 13th in 2022 he was third last year I think this Hamilton test should be right up his street it’s an accurate course and Ry is accurate I mentioned that Larry was first in driving accuracy well Ry is 10th so he’s certainly doing well off the te he’s fifth in greens and regulation and he’s ninth in Strokes gain approach so he’s finding those greens he’s making the most of them at times Tea Green he has been solid mentioned a bit earlier on putting it has been a little bit cold for him but it looked better the flat stick in the last round of the Charles Schwab that was when he had his last outing so there’s the hope that he’s found something on the greens going into this event but certainly te to Green that is where Ry really thrives if you can start if you can start even putting about 25% better then I think he’s got a really good chance of winning his first title on the us circuit good stuff and there was one more one more uh bigger price and it’s Paton kazaya at to one now he’s actually been out of the winners enclosure for a while now 2018 Sony Open was the last time that he tasted a success but have a feeling that could potentially change this week or he can at least put himself into the mix for it now he endured a miserable start to the year six miscuts then he withdrew in a corn corn fairy Tour event and you think well why on Earth you putting him up for selection for this one but he’s shown Improvement in recent weeks he was tied 10th on his last start that was at the Myrtle Beach Classic he that followed back-to-back top 25 results as well he had that at the punana championship and the CJ cup Byron Nelson so certainly there has been improvement from kazaya in recent weeks his approach play has been really solid as well he was sixth in Strokes gained approach and third in greenson regulation on the PJ tour this season so you think where is it kind of going wrong for him well at the minute nowhere’s really going that wrong for him because the put has also started to behave especially at the Myrtle Beach Classic as last outing he was tied 10th in puts for green in regulation and he was 24th in Strokes gain putting so whatever kazy’s done over the last two three four weeks he certainly managed to find something whether he tweaked the swing or just you know got a bit of confidence with a certain type of shot but he’s on the up he’s getting some good results and confidence boosting ones and at 135 won I can’t I can’t ignore that good stuff we don’t have to have a lot on at that sort of price change so each way plays A Plenty right two events this week give us a round up then and your overview view yes so the first event is the European open that’s been played at Green Eagle the green monster course there’s three selections Richard Mansel burn vburger and Joel gerbach and then the PJ tour it’s after the Canadian open played at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ontario three selections for that one Shane Larry Aaron Ry and Paton kazaya I think they’re both going to be fantastic tournaments I think the European open when you look at the market you do see that there definitely not that firm favorite of course you look at the Canadian open and it’s maroy at 4 to1 you look at the European Tour event and there’s big prices for the favor around 20 to1 and you think yeah there there’s definitely value to be had I think they’re both going to be absolutely fantastic I think out of the two just because of how how long the green Eagle course is I think that’s the one I’m really looking forward to watch and again it’s I feel that as of a certain quality so you’re probably going to see quite a few players struggle which mentioned at the top of the show I like to see Pros struggleing then just struggle to get round courses uh the Canadian open you know if maoy has a slightly off day then there’s going to be others that are coming into contention like I said at 4 to1 with 155 players against him I’m happy to take him on top man James if you were to just have one wager this week who’s your strongest selection of the six Richard Mansel definitely definitely like Richard Manel the way his game’s just going at the moment and trending in the right direction he’s feeling confident mentioned that he just qualified for the US Open as well so he’s already thinking about that but yeah I think if he can get his first DP World Tour win going then into the major a couple weeks time that’ll give him a huge huge confidence boost great stuff H doubles are plenty there on I’m sure as well of course remember to gamble responsibly James thank you for your time and expertise as ever good stuff you’re more than welcome um not sure not sure when I’ll be back whenever Steve next has a holiday uh I’ll
