Blixt Claims Second PGA Title

Jonas Blixt hung on to claim the Greenbrier Classic and his second PGA Tour title after Johnson Wagner had a late collapse.

The Swede carded a final round 67 and saw him win by two shots and he had to do it in gloomy conditions after the start was delayed a few hours due to rain.

Wagner was leading going into the final round but with a bad run of bogeys on the 11th, 13th and 15th he slipped out of contention as Blixt was allowed in and holed a good birdie putt on the 16th which was good enough to seal victory.

It hadn’t been the best year for Blixt so this was really pleasing for him, this was his first top 10 finish of the year and he hopes this will kick-start things.

My Betting Tips For The US Open

Just a couple of days now until the second major of the year gets underway at Merion Golf Club, the first time it’s been held there since 1981 when it was won by Australian David Graham.

So we don’t know a huge amount about the golf course or how players have performed there in the past, so when it comes to betting it’s very difficult to pick a winner here. 

The last 5 years have seen different styles of winner:

2008 – Tiger Woods

2009 – Lucas Glover

2010 – Graeme McDowell

2011 – Rory McIlroy

2012 – Webb Simpson

2013 – ?

But there is someone who has a bit of form around this golf course, Rickie Fowler played exceptionally well when he played there in the Walker Cup in 2009. So my betting tips are as follows…

Rickie Fowler   67/1

Graeme McDowell   23/1

Rory McIlroy 23/1

Good luck if you have a bet, and enjoy watching the golf!
