George a gorgeous bet at 9-4 to make a name for himself; ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL SETANTA GOLF 7pm today.Byline: By Jeremy Chapman GEORGE McNEILL is easily the least-known member of his Bay Hill threeball today but the 32-year-old Floridian is the one in the best form and therefore terrific value at Ladbrokes' 9-4. McNeill's story is a fairytale because less than two years ago he was working as an assistant pro in a golf shop. He then decided to try for his tour card after eight years of working at golf clubs and amazed the Qschool regulars by beating every one of them. Then, in his rookie season, he won in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. and showed his first real 2008 form with a share of second place behind Sean O'Hair Sean M. O'Hair (born July 11, 1982) is an American professional golfer. O'Hair was born in Lubbock, Texas. Unlike the vast majority of contemporary American professional golfers, O'Hair did not go to college. at Copperhead on Sunday. The price is right because playing partners Retief Goosen Retief Goosen (born February 3, 1969) is a South African professional golfer who has been in the top ten in the Official World Golf Rankings for several years. Goosen was born in Pietersburg (now Polokwane), South Africa. and Hunter Mahan are struggling, Goose especially. He has not broken 70 this year and the light at the end of his particular tunnel still looks 100 miles away. Mahan started the year with a Kapalua fifth but little has gone right since. The same firm have 15-8 for RODPAMPLING to outscore Verb 1. outscore - score more points than one's opponents outpoint beat, beat out, vanquish, trounce, crush, shell - come out better in a competition, race, or conflict; "Agassi beat Becker in the tennis championship"; "We beat the competition"; "Harvard Sunday winner O'Hair and one of McNeill's fellow runner-ups, Troy Matteson. The opposition is strong but hot Rod is a course winner, taking advantage of Greg Owen's nerves to edge home two years ago. And the Aussie has finished eighth and ninth on his two latest starts. There's also a strong chance that O'Hair will be tired. He had minimal sleep after the excitement of his first victory for three years because he had to motor up to Bay Hill for a 9am pro-am start the following morning. Winners after a long drought often miss the cut the following week as Ernie Els did at Copperhead. It could be the same for young Sean. RYUJI IMADA, another who finished tied second at the weekend, is having a cracking year and looks a banker at 6-4 against Ian Poulter (three missed cuts out of three at Bay Hill) and Pat Perez, neither of whose form remotely matches that of the Japanese.
