Well it has been a very poor year for British sport and those at the top of the list have really done very little to deserve being there. Step forward the one person who could become a World Champion before the end of the year (they take place later this month) - oh and don't forget her Mum won the award 35 years ago!! |

Tuovinen |
The young Finn has the game for this course - which is basically hit it long which he showed last season when 3rd and he is 4th in DD on the main Euro tour.He seems to only play well in Scandinavia - last season he was 6/8/3 there on this tour.He was also 3rd in this event in 02 (different course) when only 21 and whilst he has struggled on the main tour he has played 2 events in Finland in recent months finishing 1st and 2nd |

Garrett Willis |
In the last few seasons this time of year seems to have suited Willis.Last year he came here and finished 11th and then won the following week.Although he has withdrawn from his last 2 Nationwide starts he did make the cut in his last 3 PGA events including Reno last week - these odds just seem a little on the high side |

The 18 year old Australian has had a couple of good finishes on the PGA tour in the last few weeks which actually read quite well in this field.He is a big hitter but also has excellent GIR figures so has to be worth a shout at these odds |

The Canadian would appear to be over his terrible injury problems of the last few years with a 6th place finish at the International.His win on the PGA tour came in the desert in Arizona (the same as Triplett who has also won here).This is a big price for a player who is capable of winning if at his best in this weak field |

The big hitting youngster proved he could handle playing at altitude when 6th at the International - he would have finished better had he not made a horlicks of the 17th.With 3 top 6 finishes in 19 starts it is only a matter of time before he wins and won of his other top finsihes was in a poor field in the desert in Tucson. |

Jeff Coston |
Although Coston turned 50 last October this is his debut on the Champions Tour - the reason being he has concentrated on playing in local events around Washington where he has won 4 very comfortably.The one important fact is that he actually qualified to play at Medinah - but instead chose to play at home! |

Felipe Aguilar |
The Chilean was struggling on the main European tour until he held the lead at the St Omer after round 1 - although he faded it seemed to kickstart his season and put in 2 top 15 finishes at Gleneagles and Barseback.Driving accuracy should be key here and he stands at 6th in Europe. |

Sticking with Pampling again who but for a poor 1st round and a poor last few holes yesterday would have reurned the money.This just seems a big price for such a consistent proven winner who can boast a top 5 at last years Masters |

Too big a price for a player who pops up in the top 5 from time to time as he did last season here.Not in the best of form but his 40th place last week hides the fact he was 7th for birdies with 23. |

Similar reasons to picking Slattery really- he can boast a 1st,3rd and 5th place finish at Ljunghusens the links course where the Englishman won.Throw in a 7th place finish at Gleneagles and he is worth a bet at these odds. |

A big price for the man who has been 1st and 6th here the last 2 seasons + a 3rd at altitude in Reno on his last visit.He is certainly in consistent form having made every cut apart from the week after his win at Bay Hill in March. |

In very steady form having made 10 of his last 11 cuts including a 26th in the British Open. He is at his best on links courses having grown up on them and his Challenge Tour win came on one.He seems to like playing near the coast in general as he was 2nd in Madeira and 7th in the Canaries. |
