2019 Open Golf
The bets:
£1 e/w Kevin Kisner @ 125/1
£1 e/w Thomas Pieters @ 150/1
£1 e/w JB Holmes @ 350/1
£2 e/w John Rahm @ 16/1
£2 e/w Adam Scott @25/1
£2 e/w Louis Oosthuizen @45/1
Placed by: K
What happened...
Only Adam Scott of the picks missed the cut. 350/1 shot Holmes was joint leader after day two. A brilliant third round 63 from Shane Lowry dropped Holmes to third with a round to go.
The weather played a big part on the Sunday. Lowry cruised to victory but the later starters had their work cut out.
Jon Rahm managed tied 11th
Louis Oosthuizen tied 20th
Kevin Kisner tied 30th
Thomas Pieters and JB Holmes finished tied 67th. Holmes after a spectacular final day 16 over par 87.

2019 Tour de France
As it was billed as one of the most open Tours in years I thought it was worth having a go.
The bets
£1 e/w Julian Alaphillipe @ 100/1
£1 e/w Manny Buchmann @ 66/1
Placed by: P
What happened...
Alaphillipe held the yellow jersey until two stages from the end when he finally 'cracked' and finished fifth. One of the beneficiaries of that was Buchmann who moved up to fourth and won us £14.20.

2019 USPGA Golf
The selections:
Xander Schauffele £1.50 ew @ 25/1
Sergio Garcia £1.50 ew @ 45/1
Dustin Johnson £2.50 ew @10/1
Brooks Koepka £2 ew @ 11/1
Placed by P:
Results - Garcia missed the cut, Schauffele looked booked for a top 7 place and each-way pick up but fell away badly over the closing holes, as for the other two...
Koepka stormed into the lead on day one, more than consolidated on days two and three but nearly blew it on the Sunday before hanging on to win. His nearest challenger? Johnson who in the end missed out by two shots.
Return from the bets tis week - £37.90. Not bad.

2019 PDC World Darts
Placed By: P
(I factored this one into 2019 for accounting purposes.)
£8 wagered - £16 picked up courtesy of Michael Smith £2 e/w.
A speculative semi-final bet and Joe Cullen to win his quarter failed at the first hurdle.
