Westwood -110 over Walker
Walker is a much better golfer than Westwood but he has Mono. Westwood got bet up to -135 at one point and it's back down to -110 much to my surprise.
Jimmy Walker is dealing with mononucleosis ahead of the 81st Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.
Last year's PGA Championship winner has been dealing with fatigue since Thanksgiving. AP's Doug Ferguson reported on it with Walker stating, "I've just felt so bad all year. I've had glucose testing, Lyme disease testing and we finally got it figured out." It's nice to have a reasoning for his spotty play this season, but it doesn't make his outlook this week look any better. After the Masters, we have the Texas two-step on tap (RBC Heritage and Valero Texas Open). The Texan likely won't be resting anytime soon, making him a risky option for gamers moving forward.
World No. 24 Jimmy Walker ballooned to a 7-over-par 39-40=79 in the third round of the Shell Houston Open and at 4-over 220, will not have a Sunday tee time, missing the secondary cut of 3-over 219 by one shot.
A total of 81 players made the 36-hole cut (even-par 142) so a second cut of low 70 and ties took place after 54 holes. Walker opened with 69-72, T26, and plummeted 46 spots on the leaderboard to the early exit. On eight (of 14) fairways and nine greens in regulation, he scribbled down just five pars, outbalancing four birdies with seven bogeys and two double bogey-6s. The Oklahoma native was one of 29 players at the SHO who were already in the Masters, 11 of which departed after 36 holes with MC's. Joining him on the bench for Sunday: 220- Jamie Lovemark; Derek Fathauer; Ricky Barnes; Brendon de Jonge; Scott Brown; Jason Kokrak ... 221- Seung-Yul Noh; Cameron Tringale ... 222- Wesley McClain ...223- Richy Werenski.
