Imada has the form this year with a victory,a couple of runner-up slots and a 5th. Whilst Torrey will play differently he has great course form improving every year in the last 4 culminating in his 2nd to Woods in January.He also seems to play tough courses well and was top 15 in the US Open in 05 and 06 and is a better player now with a victory under his belt. 1 pt ew 100/1 Tote 1/4 5 Lost -18.83 27.5.08 12.22 Golf Memorial Tournament Mike Weir Weir also has some decent course form round Muirfield with a 3rd and 4th to his name and is certainly not as unpredictable as O'Hair as he gradually finds his form before finding success and he has certainly been doing that over the past few weeks. As a multiple winner on tour just hitting form coming to a course he plays well we have to bet at 66/1 1/2 pt ew 66/1 Everywhere 1/4 5 t2nd -16.83 29.5.08 16.03 Golf Principal Charity Classic John Morse We have been waiting for Morse to play on this tour since turning 50 earlier this year as he has been managing to make cuts on the NW and PGA tour in recent months. He qualified on Tuesday to get in and the books seem to have quoted him as a no-hoper - we really don't think he will be. 1/5 pt ew 200/1 Stan James Paddy Power Boylesports 1/4 5 t5th -24.58 27.5.08 16.48 Golf Wales Open Rafa Echenique Pick from left field this week is young talented Argentinian Echenique who caught our eye after a good performance at Wentworth last week and a quick email to his management company gave us some reasons for that mprovement. He certainly likes Wales having had a top 5 finish on the Challenge Tour and last year here his rounds 2 and 3 were the 3rd best of all the players. As for the course - well comparing it to other tour venues we really have a gut feeling it will suit him although we are slightly concerned about the length. 1/5 pt ew 300/1 Tote 1/4 5 t4th -25.62 28.5.08 10.51 Golf Bank of America Greg Chalmers A low price for us to take but we really do think there is a great deal of value even at 28/1. He really has been in superlative form for the last 6 months where in 14 performances around the globe he has managed 9 top 10 finishes including a win and 4 other top 5 finishes!. Whilst his course form is not superb he has started really well here on his last 2 appearances and has never arrived in Illinois in such top form. 1 pt ew 28/1 Sky Bet365 Tote Stan James 1/4 5 Lost -31.3 28.5.08 17.43 Golf Oceanico Pro-Am Fredrik Henge henge has really struggled with injuries over the past few years but this prolific winner on the Challenge Tour could well e spurred on on his return to an event he won on his only appearance back in 04. His current form is nothing to write home about but he has at least made his last 3 cuts at this level. 1/10 pt ew 125/1 Tote 1/4 5 Lost -29.3 28.5.08 15.20 Golf Principal Charity Classic Dave Rummells Local guy Rummells made his debut on this tour the other week and played well to come 20th and managed to get a sponsors invite to play this week. Whilst he has never set the world on fire on the PGA tour he has won a couple of Nationwide events and these sort of players often surprise when they hit the Champions tour. He has been keeping himself match fit by playing wherever he can and even won a Sunbelt tour event comfortably a few weeks ago. 1/5 pt ew 150/1 William Hill Boyles 1/4 5 Lost -29.1 28.5.08 10.51 Golf Bank of America Tom Scherrer Scherrer regained his card last season by playing on the Nationwide tour but after starting the season poorly he has found himself playing on the lower tour again. He has played some really solid rounds at the Glen Club without a particularly high finish but we feel that having won on the tour last season a 3 figure price is just a bit too big. 1/5 pt ew 100/1 Sky Bet365 Stan James 1/4 5 Lost -28.7 27.5.08 10.48 Golf Wales Open Alastair Forsyth After a woeful start to the year Forsyth appeared from nowhere to win the Madeira Open in March and 2 weeks later lost in a playoff in Portugal. He then took a month off deciding not to travel the globe and struggled a bit with his game but it has gradually been returning and his solid game of fairways and greens should be well suited on the new course. 1/5 pt win 80/1 1/4 pt top 5 18/1 Centrebet Lost -28.3 27.5.08 09.11 Golf Memorial Tournament Fred Couples Couples' record at Muirfield Village is well recorded and he has managed in the last 10 years a win and 2 runners-up places so if he is ever going to add to his tour victories it would be a place like this. He has been in really good form of late (bar the Masters) and although we did want a slightly bigger price this week we really do want to be on. 1/2 pt win 50/1 1 pt top 5 9/1 Centrebet Lost -27.85 26.5.08 18.40 Golf Memorial Tournament Sean O'Hair O'Hair is a notoriously difficult player to catch right - his win in March came after 2 straight missed cuts and he hasn't been in great form recently until last week when he improved with every round. His record here is top class improving with each start and being in contention for the last 2 seasons. He is quoted on record as saying Majors aside this is the one event he would love to win and he absolutely loves the old traditional course. 1/2 pt ew 66/1 Ladbrokes Paddy Power 1/4 5 Lost -26.35 26.5.08 17.22 Golf Wales Open Simon Khan Khan has fond memories of Celtic Manor - the scene of his only main tour win to date but he is in the same boat as all the other players this week as they play the new Twenty Ten course - the Ryder Cup venue. Over the past few seasons Khan has hit a good run of form at thsi time of year and there were definitely signs of a return to form when 10th at Wentworth last week and he usually maintains this form for about a month so expect a bold showing this week. 1/2 pt ew 80/1 Coral Paddy Power 1/4 5 Lost -25.35 20.5.08 08.41 Golf Crowne Plaza Inv Brian Gay Gay is one of our favourite players of the year so far when he finally won his first PGA tour event in Mexico and since then to be honest he has performed pretty well including a 7th in the Byron Nelson.He has some very solid course form at Colonial with a runner up slot back in 01 and he led going into the final round in 04 before fading.We are not too worried about last years missed cut in poor weather conditions and this time around he will probably have a better chance of finishing the deal. 1/5 pt win 125/1 1/4 pt top 5 25/1 Sportstab Lost -24.35 21.5.08 16.25 Golf Senior PGA Champs Andy Bean Bean has very fond memories of Oak Hill as it was back in 1980 that he finished 2nd here in the PGA Champs - admittedly by 7 shots to Nicklaus! He has a really good record in New York as in 5 starts on the Champions Tour he has managed 3 top 4 finishes - there is clearly something in the air he likes. As for current form well you cannot really knock it with his 2nd tour win coming just last week. He may well suffer a reaction to that win but last time he won he was 6th the following week. 1/4 pt ew 66/1 Coral Ladbrokes 1/4 5 Lost -23.9 20.5.08 10.38 Golf BMW PGA Champs Gary Orr Its Wentworth,its a top 10 market and we cannot miss Gary Orr for the umpteenth year running! Basically he is at his best when playing in the woods and in his last 11 starts here has 5 top 10 finishes and whilst a win these days is probably out of the question it would not be a surprise to see him just off the lead come Sunday. 1/2 pt top 10 16/1 Sportstab Lost -23.4 19.5.08 14.34 Golf BMW PGA Champs Paul McGinley We admit there is something about McGinley we are not especially fond of but at 66/1 he is worth backing to continue the fine run of form of golfers from the Emeral Isle. He has himself been in very good form for most of the season and is a very accurate player who is suited to tree lined courses (note his win at Valderrama) and was 2nd here in 05. He is desperate to make the Ryder Cup team and needs one big performance in a big event to get there. 1/2 pt ew 66/1 Ladbrokes Betfred 1/4 5 Lost -22.9 19.5.08 14.13 Golf BMW PGA Champs Peter Lawrie The Irishmans first win on the main tour was a long time coming but we think that his second could be just around the corner. His accurate game is well suited to Wentowrth and he has improved every time he has played here - he has led the event before and twice in the last three years he has led the driving accuracy stats for the week. after his win in Spain we thought he would suffer a reaction in his home Open last week but to be honest played well and closed with a fine 69. With his new found confidence expect to see him to the fore on Sunday. 1 pt ew 100/1 Tote Ladbrokes 1/4 5 Lost -21.9 21.5.08 11.09 Golf BMW PGA Champs 1st rd leader P Baker & G Hutcheon We have been looking at these two players for the last few days just in this market and cannot resist a very small punt. Hutcheon has won the Tartan Tour order of merit for the last 2 seasons having struggled with injuries and in 2 starts on the Challenge Tour this season has finished 5th and 2nd after lying 2nd and 1st after round 1. As for Baker - well we have tipped him a few times after his new lease of life from turning 40 and he has a good long term record at Wentworth and has often started well here. 1/20 pt ew on each 400/1 Tote 1/4 5 Lost -19.9 20.5.08 18.05 Golf Melwood Prince Georges Won Joon Lee Lee - a Korean born Australian has been touted as a future star although his finishes bar his 2nd in the Australian Open in December haven't really borne this out. Butch Harmon is now his coach and in his first 4 starts on this tour he was very poor when missing the cut in each event. The last 2 events have seen a general upturn in his form being 4th each time at the cut and improving from 37th to 10th last time. We have to guess the course will suit but last year the big hitters were favoured and there are not many who hit it further than Lee. 1/5 pt ew 125/1 Skybet 1/4 5 Lost -19.7 20.5.08 16.10 Golf Senior PGA Champs Lonnie Nielsen Nielsen is one player this week who is very glad to see the Senior PGA come to Oak Hill in New York as the area is what he calls home and no-one this week has played so much here over the years and reckons the course suits his game - interestingly his one Champions tour win last season came in New York. He was 2nd earlier this year after a poor final round in difficult conditions and since then he has improved again every week culminating in 5th last time out so is coming into form for an event he is really looking forward to. 1/2 pt ew 50/1 Bet365 Bluesquare 1/4 5 Lost -19.3 20.5.08 15.19 Golf BMW PGA Champs Soren Hansen We have thought long and hard about adding Hansen to our ever growing list this week as his course form is not brilliant although he has played some very good rounds here and we don't think he enjoyed the cold wet weather last year. However his form on the European tour in the last year of 8 top 10 finishes in 15 starts including a win,2 2nds and 2 3rds do not make him an 80/1 shot even in this field although we will have more on the top 5 par of the bet. 1/4 pt win 80/1 1/2 pt top 5 16/1 Centrebet Lost -18.3 20.5.08 13.02 Golf Crowne Plaza Inv John Merrick We usually like to see some good evidence of being able to play the course and a missed cut on his only attempt doesn't look great but after a poor first round he came back well with a 64 to miss it on the line. Throughout this second season on tour he has improved on last years performances and has put his course experience to good use and has been in contention at one point or another nearly every week so we think he will be a winner sooner rather than later. 1/5 pt ew 125/1 Betfred Tote Centrebet 1/4 5 Lost -17.55 20.5.08 11.58 Golf Crowne Plaza Inv Ben Curtis Curtis was thought of as a one hit wonder having won the Open back in 03 and he took 3 years to prove it wasn't a fluke and in 06 he won twice on the PGA tour. He can be difficult to catch right but showed his good form a couple of weeks ago when 2nd in the top level Wachovia event. He has actually only played the Colonial twice - in each of the last 2 seasons - making the cut the first time and lying 3rd at the cut last year so he clearly can handle the course. 1/4 pt ew 110/1 Bet365 1/4 5 Lost -17.15 20.5.08 10.14 Golf Crowne Plaza Inv DJ Trahan Our main bet on the PGA tour this week goes to Trahan who has some really solid course form here at Colonial having been 2nd at the cut in 05 on his debut and then last year he was 7th. His current form is fairly solid with 8 cuts made in his last 9 starts and we have to remember he is now a two time winner on the tour - in this field we think 80/1 is a generous price. 1/2 pt ew 80/1 Generally Available 1/4 5 Lost -16.65 20.5.08 09.30 Golf BMW PGA Champs Thomas Levet Anyone would think that we are backing Levet on the basis that he has two top ten finishes here and plays well on tree lined courses - hence the big price but Levet won on the European tour only 6 weeks ago on a tight course in Spain!! Whilst he has not played as well since we see no reason why his price has been pushed out so far. 1/5 pt win 150/1 1/4 pt top 5 30/1 Centrebet Lost -15.65 19.5.08 16.31 Golf BMW PGA Champs Richard Sterne Sterne is sort of the forgotten man of this week as he has been playing on the PGA tour since March and whilst he hasn't set the world alight top 25 finishes in the Palmer Inv and the Masters read well in this field. He was in a great run of form last season when he came here and finished 3rd despite a poorish final round and the next week he won in Wales and has won again since in the Joburg Open. He also led the putting stats here in 05 so knows how to play the course from start to finish - hopefully he won't need too much adjusting back on the European tour and if not he will be right up there. 1/2 pt ew 66/1 Everyhwere 1/4 5 Lost -15.2 17.5.08 21.07 Golf Irish Open Felipe Aguilar Admittedly it has been a pretty poor week so far but we feel there is still some value in Aguilar in the final round. Basically the Chilean has won 4 of his last 17 starts so he is certainly capable of finishing the job off even if this is a step up in class and we don't think Westwood will reproduce todays round and Dredge is hardly a prolific winner 1/2 pt win 25/1 Ladbrokes Boyles Sportingbet Lost (2nd!) -14.2 13.5.08 11.40 Golf Regions Charity Classic Tom McKnight A rare dabble onto the Seniors market on a player who is yet to win on the tour but has 4 top 5 finishes including one here 2 years ago. Whilst it might prove difficult catching him on a going weekend he has improved a bit over his last few performances especially in his putting which is often his strong suit. 1/5 pt ew 150/1 Skybet 1/4 5 Lost -13.7 13.5.08 11.18 Golf AT&T Classic Steve Flesch We just do not understand this price as Flesch has everything going for him this week. Firstly he is a winner - twice on the PGA last season, then there is his course form 4 top 10's in 9 appearances is very solid. Lastly his recent form stands up to the closest inspection - it wasn't long ago he was very close in a Major and whilst he was annoyed with his finish at Augusta he came out and was top 30 in his next 2 events, don't worry about Sawgrass he has always been poor there - this week expect him to go very close. 1 pt ew 40/1 Everywhere 1/4 5 Lost -13.3 14.5.08 12.37 Golf AT&T Classic Round 1 leader Scott McCarron Not a lot to add to what we have stated below except we would prefer a morning tee time but we expect him to get off to a quick start. 1/10 pt ew 125/1 Betdirect Stan James 1/4 5 Lost -11.3 14.5.08 11.15 Golf Irish OpenRound 1 leader Christain Nilsson Nilsson has made a late start to the season but got into this weeks event by virtue of a top 10 finish last week and he needs another good finish to keep playing on the main tour. He made a really good start at Adare last year being 5th after round 1 and has made a habit of starting off quickly in events in the past. 1/10 pt ew 175/1 Bet365 1/4 5 Lost -11.1 13.5.08 15.15 Golf Irish Open Pablo Martin An unusual bet for us really - going win only on a 100/1 shot but strangely we feel there is value in the win part but not really in the place as he has only ever been in contention once - and won. After a poor start to the year a great 21st place in the Palmer Inv on the PGA tour seems to have kick started his year.He was 15th in both his last 2 starts - including a fine defence in Portugal where he led after round 1 1/2 pt win 100/1 Sportstab Lost -10.9 13.5.08 10.45 Golf AT&T Classic Scott McCarron McCarron loves it here - it is the scene of 2 of his 3 PGA victories and this price is way too big. He has really suffered with bad injuries over the last few years and now claims to be playing pain free.Whilst there is not a lot of evidence in his results he does seem to be inspired by certain events - in the Byron Nelson he was 2nd after 2 rounds in an event he holds close to his heart and was 4th at the cut mark in the Northern Trust where he went to Uni. These results show he still has the ability and if anywhere will inspire him it will be Sugarloaf. 1/5 pt win 300/1 1/4 pt top 5 60/1 Sportstab Lost -10.4 12.5.08 21.24 Golf AT&T Classic Kevin Stadler A weird betting heat on the PGA tour with many non winners who have good course and recent form very short prices in our opinion so we will go with players who can win.Whilst Stadler is not a winner on the main tour yet we feel it is only a matter of time and he has shown on numerous occasions he can get the job done. Whilst he missed the cut here last season he was in poor form and his other appearance looks very good on closer inspection as he got caught out by the bad weather.As for current form well he certainly has that with finishes of 25th and 15th in top fields - he actually played 3 superb rounds at Sawgrass. 1/4 pt ew 100/1 Ladbrokes 1/4 5 Lost -9.95 12.5.08 15.35 Golf Irish Open Peter Hanson You might remember our reasons for picking Hanson a couple of weeks ago - his new caddie - and it looks like he needed a round to bed in as after a poor opening round in Spain he shot through the field to finish 8th. This week we will go again as he played really well here last season being joint leader after round 1 until getting caught by the poor weather in round 2 and then coming back to finish 7th. He also has a fantastic long term record in Ireland with finishes of 4/9/7/3 with his last 4 starts here so is well worth a decent bet. 1 pt win 45/1 1 pt top 5 9/1 Thegreek Lost -9.45 11.5.08 09.48 Golf Players Championship Stephen Ames When you combine the weather forecast of strong gusty winds and the players near the top of the leaderboard it is easy to imagine a score around -4 winning this event and Ames is more than capable of shooting -4 in his final round - he is on familiar territory and will relish the conditions so we feel this price is just too big to resist even with only 3 places on offer. 1/4 pt ew 150/1 Stan James Betdirect 1/5 3 Lost -7.45 6.5.08 14.13 Golf Italian Open Steve Webster Webster is our second choice for the week who can go one better than Levet with a win here on his debut in 05.After that win he endured a tough time with his mother being very ill and eventually dying of cancer and it really affected his game. He finally won again on tour in October interestingly on an Arnold Palmer course - the same as here. He is hardly in poor form with a 9th on his penultimate start and he hails from the same stable that produced recent winners McGrane and Lawrie so hopefully some of the magic will rub off. 1/2 pt ew 50/1 Generally Available 1/4 5 Lost -6.95 6.5.08 09.54 Golf Players Championship Matt Goggin Goggin is consistency personified on the PGA tour having made 9 of his last 10 cuts and this might seem to be a bizarre pick for such a big event but the venue really does suit his game as he showed when 12th on his debut last season with all 4 rounds at par or better and ended up top of the all round stats - Florida does seem to bring out some of his best performances. 1/5 pt win 125/1 1/4 pt top 5 25/1 Centrebet Sportstab Lost -5.95 6.5.08 08.44 Golf Players Championship Retief Goosen Goosen was one of our main bets for Augusta and to be honest he didn't play that badly until a poor final round. We will happily take 50/1 about a player who has been a regular winner on the PGA tour and has 2 US Opens to his name. He struggled initially at Sawgrass but in the last 3 seasons has played very solidy with finishes of 12/2/28 and if his eyesight is spot on he will go close. 1/2 pt win 50/1 1/2 pt top 5 11/1 Centrebet Sportstab Lost -5.5 5.5.08 20.35 Golf Italian Open Thomas Levet For an event with so much course form we have struggled to find much value for this weeks Italian event as a lot of players seem very underpriced so we will go with a couple of confirmed winners with good course form. Firstly Levet - who was 2nd here in his only appearance in 04 with 3 very low scoring rounds. His illness has been well documented but he has now made a full recovery and he followed up his win in Spain with 2 superb rounds in Portugal.We will forgive him his poor form is Spain last time out as without that he would be going off nearer the favourite we think he should be. 3/4 pt ew 40/1 Skybet 1/4 5 Lost -4.5 5.5.08 18.56 Golf Players Championship Fred Couples Either we have this very wrong or all the bookmakers have it very wrong so we will slightly temper our bet and concentrate on the top 10 side. He has one of the greatest long term records at Sawgrass and this year has been playing some of his best golf for the last few years with 3 top 10 finishes. If he were ever to recover his best (weather permitting) it would be somewhere like Sawgrass so we will take a chance on the win as well. 1/4 pt win 100/1 Generally Available 3/4 pt top 10 10/1 Skybet Lost -3.0 7.5.08 10.48 Golf Fort Smith Classic Todd Fischer Fischer is a past winner here in Arkansas on his debut back in 02 and he didn't really get a chance to "defend" until last year when he was 12th with excellent 1st and 4th rounds of 65.He has played a little bit better over the last few weeks and the short course will certainly bring out the best in his game. 1/4 pt ew 80/1 Tote 1/4 5 Lost -2.0 6.5.08 19.35 Golf Fort Smith Classic MARK Walker This is one of those bets that in years gone by could have been 150/1 and the compilers I have spoken to think this price is way too short but we will persevere even at 50/1. Walker has been a revelation since he hit 40 - he won his 2nd stage of Q school back in November but failed in the main event - he then didn't play until last month competitively and then he won 3 events on the bounce on the Adams Tour. OK it is not a strong tour but he has won these 3 events by a combined 10 strokes and is 46 under par! He has played here in the past as it has been a fairly local event for him and was the scene of his first ever event on the main tours. 1/2 pt ew 50/1 Tote Skybet 1/4 5 Lost -1.5 6.5.08 17.13 Golf Fort Smith Classic Glen Day We picked Day 2 years ago as it was the first time he ever got to play his hometown event and to be honest the pressure got to him a bit although he did make the cut. We still maintain the short Hardscrabble course should suit his game. Whilst he is not in the best form of his career he does have the ability to strike form at will and 100/1 is well worth a small bet. 1/4 pt ew 100/1 Skybet Stan James Betdirect 1/4 5 Lost -0.5
