Lumpy bet on the golf ......

"Lumpy",Tim Herron is joint leader of the Colonial after three rounds of play in Texas. He has a reputation as a poor front runner, but I think this is a little unfair and he does boast three wins on the tour.

Infact, his final round scoring matches up well with joint leader and playing partner, Rod Pampling. Tim has averaged 1.25 strokes lower for 4th round scoring than the aussie, last year Pampling's record was even worse, 162 out of 202.

Herron has the edge this week in driving accuracy and GIR, cannot really fathom why he has been made the outsider in 2 ball betting and we can try a little at the odds on offer.

Jacobson`s stats this week remain very impressive, #1 driving distance, #9 driving accuracy and #9 GIR, if he can hole a few putts today, he should go close. I certainly like him to win his 2 ball against another aussie, Nick O'Hern.

The US golf tour is really changing, in the top 13 heading into the final round, we have 5 austalians and 3 scandinavians, this would have been impossible only a couple of years ago.

2 points Herron to win his 2 ball 2.42 betfair
3 points Jacobson to win his 2 ball 2.22 betfair
1/2 point Jacobson outright 32.0 betfair

Good Luck.
