Bohn has now made his last 10 cuts and has become a model of consistency.He will be much fresher than most players and was 6th on his debut here 2 years ago. |

Sophie Gustafson |
By all accounts this is a linksy type of course which will suit big hitters.Step forward one of the best exponents of links golf who can hit it long!! She can also boast 2 top 6 finishes in her last 6 starts on the LPGA |

She might be getting past it but in her last 3 events she has gone 2/16/6 mainly due to a sudden improvement in scrambling and putting.With 3 Majors under her belt including a British Open on a links course she should not be this price. |

A veteran player now but he loves this course - winning here in 04 and 2nd in 01 on the Peugeot Tour.He finished top 25 in the main tour Madrid event last year and whilst his schedule is limited these days he was 2nd after rd 1 of the Spanish Open and finished 7th on the Peugeot Tour to prove he can still play |

Just simply cannot understand this price.In a weak field Andrade probably has the best current form of any player with 3rd and 2nd place finishes in his last 2 events, add in a 2nd place finish here in the past and we have the makings of a decent bet. |

Kevin Stadler |
Stadler regularly makes fast starts to tournaments which is what will be required with 36 holes in 1 day.He was 2nd in his US Open Q a few weeks ago and was 7th after rd 1in the event proper.Last time he played at Congressional he was 2nd after rd 1 so is worth a small punt at these odds as he will be fresher than most. |

Steve Stricker |
One of our bigger bets of the year though most people would avoid someone who nearly won a Major the week before.We think Stricker will be contented as he has laid yet more demons and secured his card for next season.He is also a happy family man with his wife (former caddy) having their second child a month ago and he returns to the scene of his first PGA victory. |

A touch of value at this price for a player who was 5th on his penultimate start in a stroger field.The course certainly suits his game and he was 2nd after 54 holes last year although he had a poor final round. |

A difficult pick to make but the fact is that he has been in contention in 2 of his last 3 tournaments- admittedly in lesser events but this is a weak field with favourites worth opposing.Add in some decent course form including a 2nd place and he has to be a bet at 3 figures. |

A big price for a player who has won 3 times on the PGA tour in his last 45 starts.He won the Memorial last season (can be a tough test) - his other 2 wins came on par 70 courses and he is a very accurate player -with the rough up this week a very important stat.We have gone for the win option as he has no other top 5 finishes! |

The parallels between the talented young Spaniard and Lima who won here a few years ago are very close.Both will go a long way in the game and Quiros is trying to emulate Lima who won this event having won his maiden Challenge Tour event in his previous tournament after a similar amount of events as a pro.Anything from 80/1 up is acceptable |

US Open 1st round leader |
Rocco Mediate |
We will take a chance on his fitness after a good 1st round last week he withdrew.His record in recent Majors has been very good though he tends to fade a lilttle as his ailments catch up with him - hence this market.He has a much needed early tee time and returns to a course where he first played having qualified as an amateur 22 years ago |
