<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lottoland, Sydney</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Manly are looking to win a season-high third match on the trot when they host the Titans at Lottoland on Friday night. It is Gold Coast’s first visit to the Northern Beaches since a 38-20 loss in 2013. These two sides met in Gladstone in round five this season, with the Titans scoring two tries in the final seven minutes to win 32-20.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Recent form</span></span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manly is playing its best footy of the season, winning their past two games against Cronulla and Canterbury. They dominated the second 40 minutes at home in round 22 and should have scored more points against a resolute Bulldogs defensive line. It was heartbreak for the 7-14 Titans as they lost 17-16 in golden point against Penrith at home last weekend, after leading until the final play of regular time. Gold Coast has won only one of its past six matches and is in 13<span style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> spot on the table.</span></div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stats That Matter</span></span></h3>
<ul style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Sea Eagles (510 points) and the Titans (508 points) concede the most points in the National Rugby League behind the Newcastle Knights (533 points).</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The under has only saluted in three of the last 10 matches between the Sea Eagles and Titans.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prior to their round 22 win, Manly had lost six straight matches at Lottoland.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gold Coast is 4-6 ATS on the road this season, but have covered in two of their three night matches on the road.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Titans are conceding an average of 28 points in their five previous matches at Lottoland.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">Final thoughts</span></span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wolf knows that the Titans have won only three of their 11 road games this season and twice all-time at Lottoland since their inception. Ash Taylor is out of form and their star player, five-eighth turned fullback AJ Brimson is playing a lone hand in attack and defence. Manly’s back three ran for over 550 metres in round 22 against the Bulldogs and will need to be stopped for the Titans to have any chance. The home side has too many weapons and will be tough to beat, with Tom Trjobevic to cause the Gold Coast defence all sorts of headaches.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How It Shapes Up</span></span></h4>

It goes without saying that they will miss him, and not just as a footballer: they have also lost a talisman, a leader and a good portion of the star power in their squad.</span></div>

Hmmm. Well, as long as Zinedine Zidane is still... ah. This is a bit awkward.

Classy midfielder Rodri has come in from Villarreal, and in Thomas Lemar and Gelson Martins, Diego Simeone now has a fresh set of options on the flanks.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without any reason to think there couldn't be an outsider winner of the <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Nordea Masters</span></strong>, this week's column was always likely to focus solely on the <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Wyndham Championship</span></strong>. We've seen numerous shocks at Sedgefield over the years and there's a specific angle to follow, that almost always involves players at 99-1 or better.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you do fancy backing an outsider in Sweden, there's plenty of ideas across these pages. Steve Rawlings puts up five at huge odds in his <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">comprehensive tournament preview</span></strong> and another in our <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">each-way column</span></strong>, where Mike Norman has dug out a very interesting 500/1 chance with local knowledge in Niclas Fasth.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following golfers ahead of crucial money list or qualification targets has long been a sound strategy and there are few more significant than the Wyndham. Players who finish this weekend outside the top-125 will not only fail to qualify for next week's bonanza, and the chance to win career-changing prizes, but will lose automatic playing rights for next season.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By definition, those currently below 125 haven't hit many heights this season but the extra incentive usually sparks big improvement from a few, regardless of what has gone before. As Steve points out in his <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">tournament preview</span></strong>, in the last four renewals, two winners and a runner-up began below the cut.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three years ago, a prolific PGA Tour winner and Ryder Cup star burst back to form out of absolutely nowhere to win this title. A case really couldn't be made for Davis Love then, or another classy type in Camilo Villegas a year earlier for that matter. Mahan's chance is comparatively clearer following recent signs of life.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His comeback doesn't amount to anything special on paper - seventh and 23rd in two low-grade events - but his stats bode very well.

That's precisely what is needed at Sedgefield, where he notably produced his best result of 2017.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next another experienced, multiple winner. Wagner is 136th on the money list although he hasn't been playing so badly. He's only missed two cuts since January and finished no worse than 31st on his last four starts. Rather, the problem has been turning mid-division into contention, anywhere.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This course, in his home state, offers a good chance to step up. Wagner was on a great run here until last year's final round. In 2016 he finished fifth, shooting no worse than 68, then opened up with 67/64/65, sitting fifth going into the final round before falling to 24th with 74.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Richy Werenski has no such qualification concerns, having moved into the top-100 after finishing second on his penultimate start. That wasn't the first time this promising player had caught the eye. At almost this exact stage last year, he finished second at similarly second-grade Barracuda Championship, then followed up with tenth here on his course debut.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another positive is that his best previous performance of 2018 came when fourth at Southwind, on the same <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Champion Bermuda</strong> greens used this week. Besides those peak performances, Werenski has registered a further five top-30s this summer, built upon excellent driving accuracy and greens in regulation stats. Both are usually important indicators for Sedgefield, especially the latter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">MCG, 750PM FRIDAY</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">FORM</span></span></h3>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ESSENDON (WWWLW)</span></span></h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bombers bounced back from their narrow 4 point defeat to the Hawks with a thumping 43 point win over the Saints at Etihad Stadium. Like Shania Twain said ‘that dont impress the Wolf much’ and Essendon will still need to defeat both Richmond and Port Adelaide in the closing rounds or they will be on holiday in September.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The major concern is the injury list which now has four of their key players on it. Brendon Goddard (knee) and Orazio Fantasia (hamstring) left the St Kilda game before the final break whilst Cale Hooker (knee) and Adam Saad (concussion) were finished inside the opening 20 minutes.</span></span></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RICHMOND (LWWWW)</span></span></h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Tigers have excellent recent form against the the Bombers, smashing them by 71 points in this season’s ‘Dreamtime at the G’. Whilst Essendon are losing key players, Richmond are getting them back with Bachar Houli (26 disposals and 7 marks) and Dion Prestia (23 disposals and 4 tackles) impressive on their return from injury.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wolf smells some easy prey with the line set at just 24.5. When you consider the Tiger’s current form, their impressive record at the MCG and recent record against the Bombers, Richmond are excellent value to cover the line.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">STATS THAT MATTER</span></span></h3>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jack Riewoldt’s 10 goals against the Suns are the most kicked in a single game this season. He leads the Coleman Medal race alongside Ben Brown (Kangaroos) with 58 goals.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep an eye out for Zach Merrett who had an outstanding 36 disposals (15 kicks and 21 handballs) and 5 tackles against the Saints.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bombers need to convert their possession into shots on goal. In their last match-up with the Tigers they dominated the hitouts (48-18), had a similar amount of inside 50’s (56-59) but less than half the scoring shots of the Tigers (13-29).</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A career high 5 goals from cult hero Anthony McDonald Tipungwuti against the Saints positions him for a big night against the Tigers. ‘Tippa’ had a couple against the Tigers in their last match but may struggle without Fantasia and Daniher to spread some of the defensive pressure.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Devon Smith will need to apply his trademark pressure against the Tiger’s elite midfield. With 169 tackles this season (8 vs St Kilda) he leads the competition by +27</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">WHAT TO EXPECT</span></span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first 15 minutes are crucial. Whilst the Suns were unlikely to ever cause an upset against the defending premiers, it wasn’t until the third quarter where the Tigers really put the foot on the accelerator. If the Bombers are tired and without key players, Richmond may be able to snuff out the fire early by taking a strong lead into quarter time.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst player availability is a big issue for the Bombers so is their recovery to prepare for this crucial match. With so many players injured against the Saints they were unable to rotate in the final quarter which stretched their healthy players.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Tigers have won 20 in a row at the MCG and enjoyed an easier match against the Suns last weekend. The Bombers at full strength would have made this a 65-35 chance in favour of the Tigers, but the combination of injuries and recovery time makes this more like 80-20 and the Wolf can’t look past that.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">HOW IT’S SHAPING UP</span></span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem; text-align: start;">

The Punter's De-Brief: Brilliant Brooks beats them all at Bellerive

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 100th US PGA Championship has gone the way of <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Brooks Koepka</strong>, in his 100th PGA Tour start. The 28-year-old Floridian was generally a <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="22/1"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><b>23.00</b></span></span> chance before the off but he hit a high of <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="84/1"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><b>85.00</b></span></span> after a slow start, which saw him make the turn on day one on two-over-par.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He started the US Open in similarly slow fashion before moving serenely through the field in round two and this was almost a carbon copy of his <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">imperious performance</strong> at Shinnecock last month. Having entered the final round with a narrow lead, Brooks birdied his opening hole to give himself a bit of breathing space but back-to-back bogeys at four and five made it interesting as <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">challengers arrived</strong> in the shape of Justin Thomas, <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tiger Woods</strong> and Adam Scott.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thomas drew level and he was <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">matched at a low of <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="9/5"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">2.80</span></span></strong> when he had seven feet for birdie at the ninth but incredibly, he missed both that and the returning par save from four feet and that was the end of his challenge. To his credit, he bouncd back with birdies at 10 and 11 but the damage was done.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tiger Woods had performed poorly on the back-nine all week long but when he rolled this birdie putt in on 13th yesterday he was matched at a low of <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="4/1"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><b>4.90</b></span></span> and <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">golf fans across the globe were starting to get giddy</strong>.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately for Big Cat fans, that birdie was immediately followed by a bogey at 14 and it was left to Scott and Koepka to fight out the finish. After back-to-back birdies by Scott, the two were locked together with five to play and the Aussie was matched for plenty at around the <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="5/4"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><b>2.30</b></span></span> mark but Koepka soon reasserted himself at the top with back-to-back birdies of his own at 15 and 16 and the result was never in doubt after that.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having backed Brooks before the off it was <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a very straightforward week </strong>and having the likes of Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas and each-way pick, <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gary Woodland</strong>, all in-the-mix throughout the week meant I didn't really get too involved in-running. The book always looked nice and healthy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It wasn't as if I wasn't looking for alternatives to those picked out before the off but as highlighted in the <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">In-Play Blog</span></strong>, I thought Brooks looked the value at halfway and I thought it was damn near impossible to pick an alternative with so many just behind him with a round to go.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did have a <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">small bet on Francesco Molinari at <span class="inline-odds" style="border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="99/1"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;">100.00</span></span></strong> in-running last night and I backed both Scot and Woods at huge prices with a couple of holes to play, just in case something bizarre happened but prior to that, the end was a bit nerve-wracking as I didn't back Scott or Woods early on.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I fancied Koepka to get the job done when it was clearly just a three-man race, I'd already layed him at odds-on on Saturday, and with two players challenging him, it would have diluted the winning far too much if I'd have covered them both so I decided to let it ride. With hindsight, I needn't have backed either of them at all but I was more than happy to pay a little for insurance very late on so I could enjoy a celebratory beer or two.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I watch a lot of golf and I'm often confined to my office to do so but occasionally I don't want to sit on my own for hours on end so I'm quite used to slapping the headphones on to watch on my laptop or pad in the living room with everyone else. Maybe that's why I didn't really mind signing up to the free trial with Elevensports to watch this year's renewal of the US PGA Championship and I'm glad I did.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you blame the PGA, Sky, or the regulators for trying to input some competition to Sky for the reason we had no TV coverage of the year's final major is irrelevant really. It is what it is and I suspect we're going to be faced with more decisions as to how and where we get out sports fixes going forward but if it's anything like last week's coverage I don't mind it at all.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ElevenSports received all sorts of trivial complaints via Twitter but I thought the coverage was fine. Okay, we didn't see every single important shot on Sunday but that happens with Sky too and there was a noticeable delay between the market and the action but again, that's the same every week on Sky with the PGA Tour events (far less so with European Tour events).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoyed the chemistry between commentators Dominik Holyer and Jamie Donaldson and <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I don't really have any complaints</strong>.

Brooks was the 12th winner in-a-row to have finished inside the top-28 at Firestone the week before and he was the 17th winner in 20 years to have already won earlier in the season. Both of those are going to be redundant now. We can probably touch on the second trend going forward but it's not going to be Glory's Last Shot anymore (as the old PGA strapline used to shout) and playing it in May as the second major changes it considerably.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Brooks now winning three of the last seven majors, only 12 of the last 15 have gone to a first-timer but that's still a significant figure given <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">the last 28 majors have been won by someone inside the world's top-50</strong>. It may be worth looking for another one to break his duck at Augusta in April but surely Rickie Fowler needs to be swerved at the sort of prices he goes off at? For the umpteenth time Rickie was in-the-mix at a major last week but it was sadly all too predictable as he yet again fell short with a disappointing one-over-par round on Sunday.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following his oh-so-close sixth place at the Open last month, Tiger's second place yesterday was his best performance in a major championship since he was caught and passed by Y.E Yang at Hazeltine in the US PGA nine years ago. It was a fabulous effort this week and although he traded shorter at Carnoustie, he impressed me more here but <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">is he going to get that illusive 15th major championship or has this summer just been the epitome of a dead cat bounce?</strong></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He'll be 43 next year and the chances are running out fast but he was noticeably lifted by the huge crowds at Bellerive and each time the juices have flown again he's handled the adrenalin better. I'd really like to see him win a regular event first though because I think that would make a huge difference the next time he's in-the-mix at a major and that's certainly not beyond him. The chances of him ever catching Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 are wafer thin to non-existent but another one is certainly doable. Jack's last came at Augusta at the age of 46 so there's time yet for the Big Cat and that's got to be good news for golf fans and TV companies everywhere. Someone might even be prepared to stump up a few quid for the next edition of the US PGA Championship after all.</span></div>
