Leonard and Westwood look solid if you don't mind the juice.

I know we say this four times every year, but this could be Sergio's year. Tiger's gone, Watson's 59 years old, I don't see anyone ahead of Sergio that I worry about too much, besides Vijay (who has sucked for quite a while). There are players behind him that could make a run, but that's not relevant to this wager.

Saturday is movement day, and who the hell is Ross Fisher? I'll take Sergio and lay the heavy chalk.

I just checked my book and found this:

SERGIO GARCIA VS J OVERTON (BRITISH OPEN RND 3) (05:35 am ET)

SERGIO GARCIA -240

J OVERTON +195

So what's the deal? Overton and Garcia are both one under, so they are clearly paired together in the third round. General, does the book you cited offer wagers against golfers who are not paired together?

I'm confused. But I'm not taking Sergio at freakin' -240.

Did a little more checking (very little) and noticed that another one of my other books also has wagers for players who aren't paired together in the third round. On this book, Sergio is matched against Jim Furyk, which would be two of my favorites going into Saturday, so I wouldn't touch that bet.

But I would take Sergio over Ross Fisher at -140 EVERY DAY in any tournament.
