Lindgren\'s $340k Golf Prop Bet Today
We got a call from Gavin Smith last night saying that Erick Lindgren accepted a $100,000 prop bet with the following rules:
:: He had to play four rounds of golf at Bear's Best in one day. :: He had to walk all four rounds back-to-back-to-back-to-back. :: He'd be shooting from the pro tees. :: He had to shoot under 100 on all rounds. Within 15 minutes, Phil Ivey added another $200k to the bet, and with a few others jumping in since, the total is now close to $350k. More on it at WCP As of about an hour or so ago Lindgren had completed the first round successfully.

Yeh he's carrying his own clubs. Usually shoots high 80s...but Bear's Best is tough course.
Ivey just showed up.

Re: Lindgren\'s $340k Golf Prop Bet Today
Yeah. And after hitting that many balls his arms will be dead. Never mind that he will have been walking around in the 110 degree Nevada sunshine for 12+ hours. I once played 2 back to back rounds at PGA West when it was 105, with a cart, and was exhausted near the end.

If his average score is 88 on a normal day, just playing one round, its not uncommon to shoot 5 strokes above or below that. So a 93 is very possible even w/o playing 4 rounds. Add in fatigue due to 110+ weather, and the fact that he has to carry his clubs and his back will be a knot on that last 18. I would guess that this will add about 10 strokes. Plus, most "nice" courses in the West take 4+ hours to play in a cart b/c they are very spread out. So we're talking 16 hours of golf w/o talking in consideration bathroom, eating, water, slow play from other golfers, etc.... D
