Tim
Clark
|
We
seriously expect that Clark (if he puts in a couple of decent performances
in the next few weeks) could go off at 1/2 these odds.This years
USPGA could play more like a US Open and in the last 2 Clark has
been 13th and 3rd. Throw in the fact that he was 3rd in the US PGA
in 2003 and recently won the prestigious Scottish Open then we think
you will agree anything over 66/1 is worth a decent bet.

Mark
Hensby
|
At
the time of posting this tip Hensby was playing well in Scandinavia
- he has since clinched the title in a play-off.He is certainly
developing into the top Australian player (perhaps Adam Scott should
watch his back!) in the world after posting top 5's in each of the
2 US Majors so far this year - lets hope he can make it 3!If any
book goes 100/1 he is still worth a decent bet.

we will pick out one player who has been in rock solid form of late

Tway

Not
a player who sets the world alight but solid nonetheless with a
top 10 on his penultimate start and a 3rd at the Byron Nelson. The
key is his course form which is absolutely rock solid and at these
generous odds he is hard to resist.

Sophie
Gustafson
|
Our
main bet of the week is reserved for the Ladies and we feel it best
to nick an early price as we cannot see this being bettered.This
years event returns to Birkdale where Sophie won in 2000 and overall
her record in British Opens on links courses is bettered by none
as she can add a 2nd,8th and 11th to that win.Whilst her recent
form has not been top notch it has given us the chance to bet this
links specialist at rewarding odds.

seems to have found some good health and along with it some decent

and they have included a 6th place at the US Open and a 14th at
the weekend. With his good course form including a win here he could
well enter calculations at rewarding odds.

Wes
Short

Couldn't
resist having a small bet on Short as he ticks a lot of boxes this
week. He leads the par 3 performance stats on the Nationwide tour
(and would be 7th on the main tour), he fired a 66 in the 1st round
here last year and closed with a 68 and 2 weeks ago he finished
4th in the John Deere - his best ever finish.

Have
been waiting all week for a 66/1 quote - but no such luck and really
do not want to leave him out.He has made his last 7 cuts, has been
in the top 7 for GIR in 4 of his last 5 events and was 2nd here
in 2003 - enough said.

The

soon after a fine performance in the British open and a bizarre
one at the K club! He was 5th here back in 2003 and is clearly a
much better player now.

Craig
Bowden
|
Par
3 performance stats often hold the key to this event with its 5
par 3's and Bowden is an excellent exponent at this. He topped the
par 3 stats on the Nationwide tour in 2003, and is 3rd this year
(he would actually qualify in 10th place on the PGA tour had he
played enough rounds).He finished in the top 20 here last year after
a fine opening round of 65 and he was 13th in the John Deere after
starting the final round in 2nd.

Brendan
Jones
|
A
pick based purely on price and Jones' ability to maintain a good
run of form when he hits one. The fact that he finished 2nd at the
weekend should not deter us backing him this week,indeed last year
on the Nationwide and Japanese tours he finished 2nd in Feb and
followed that with 2/46/1/4 and then in May a 2nd place finish sparked
a run of 4/1/mc/1 - the m/c was in the US Open!

The
young talented player has finally taken off his party boots and
put on his golfing shoes. He won earlier this season and in his
last 7 starts has 2 top 5 finishes in the Irish and Scottish Opens.
These odds seem on the generous side despite the strength of the
field.

beat a certain Michelle Wie last year and could be a surprise package

New
York in July certainly seems to bring out the best in the Mexican
- arguably his best form in a PGA event is here with finishes of
2/23/18/21 - the 2nd place still remains his best tour finish.Add
to this that on the Nationwide Tour he won this month - yep you
guessed it in New York! and he followed that up with a 13th in the
John Deere last week - his best finish for 2 years.

Hanson
is turning into one of the better European players - he followed
up his 2 top 4 performances in the Scandinavian and Volvo Masters
last year with his first win in Spain and recent top 5's in 2 top
Euro tour events.His strength of his game in recent months is his
ability to hit GIR and this could be a key stat at St Andrews. These
odds are way out of line and the 600 on Betfair on the win should
provide a good trading opportunity.

The

be up for this Major as he would dearly love to win in front of

Scottish
Open - top 10 finish
|
Steven
O'Hara
|
The
young Scot made his professional debut on this course in 2001 and
it will hold fond memories. On his second visit last year he played
very well after a poor opening round to finish 23rd, his other good
finish last year was a 3rd place in the Scottish PGA. In his last
10 starts he has amassed no fewer than 4 top 10 finishes (albeit
in weaker fields) so the odds seem on the generous side.

Charles
Warren

We
have been waiting for Warren to show a return to form as we believe
he could win a PGA event, he finally showed it after 6 missed cuts
with a 7th place in last weeks stronger event, and he is capable
of good back to back results as he won in consecutive events on
the Nationwide tour last year..The John Deere demands a solid all
round game which Warren can show on a good week - last week he was
top 10 in DA, GIR and Putting.The fact he has not played here before
should not be a hinderance - none of the 5 course winners had played
before, and there have been 15 first time winners of the event from
32 stagings.

finished t5th so does have some course experience to speak of.
