Van Pelt has been in excellent form of late and I am surprised to see him available at this price. He has not been outside the top 15 in his last 5 starts and was also t8th at the Masters. Zach Johnson finished well last week and has been in good form for most of the summer. He has some solid Open form and should have the game to deal with windy conditions. Giving Snedeker another chance after an awful first 9 holes last week. Played the last 27 in -9 and is another who has been playing well this year including a win at the Harbour Town links. Allenby has had a poor season so far but showed up well last time out with a t6th finish. He is an excellent ball striker who has an very good record in windy conditions in Australia. Byrd has 2 wins in his last 17 starts and is worth chancing at the prices despite 2 recent missed cuts. He plays well in windy conditions and although he has only played in 1 Open played well to finish T23.
