Price Cutter Charity Championship

The Price Cutter Championship is one of the original events on the Web.com Tour and has been played at the Highland Springs Country Club every year. The tournament is in its 26th year and a fully bevy of players arrive here looking to cement their place in the top 25 given that there are only three events remaining in the regular season. Highland Springs is a Par 72 course coming in at just over 7,100 yards and one that tends to give up a lot of birdies as previous winner's scores prove: -21,-22, -21, -26 etc. Like last week (which proved close but no cigar) the key to finding a winner lies in someone who is scoring well (Scoring Average) and making lots of birdies (Total Birdies/Birdies or Better).

My picks are as follows:

Jamie Lovemark - 1pt e/w @ 25/1 - We have been edging ever closer with Lovemark and I am confident that he will eventually win so I can't exclude him from my staking plan this week. He played well last week coming 11th after posting four very consistent rounds in the sixties and still sits in 12th for Scoring Average. He is also 3rd in Birdie Average, 1st in Total Birdies and 3rd in Par Breaking not to mention having course form having finished a runner up back in 2010.

Martin Piller - 0.5pts e/w @ 25/1 - I dont usually like backing a player who won the week before but the simple fact is that Pillar is the in form player of the moment and is 58 under par in his last three tournaments with two wins! He has played the course four times but only made the cut once, finishing 17th last year but carding a first round of 65. He is 15th in Putting Average, 20th in Birdie or Better % and 27th in Scoring Average. I am not making him my top pick this week as the feat of winning another tournament must be beyond him but he could be there or there abouts.

Sebastian Cappelen - 0.25pts e/w @ 80/1 - A young player with a lot of promise but who hasnt really fulfilled his true potential. A 6th place finish here last year draws me towards him as does his 15th last week that shows he could be coming into late season form as a scramble for a top 25 place hots up. He doesnt stand out in the Birdie stats nor Scoring Average but sits in a respectable 22nd for Putting Average and I would advise small stakes on the chance he will be up there come the weekend.

Scott Harrington - 0.25pts e/w @ 100/1 - Another runner up at this venue, back in 2012 and a player who seems to be coming into form having finishing 3rd in Utah two starts ago. He is 9th in Scoring Average and 19th in Birdie Average and managed to record all four rounds in the sixties last week in Kansas.

Troy Matteson - 0.125pts e/w @ 200/1 - He has been plyinghis trade mainly on the PGA tour this season but with little success, missing all but two cuts and having no stand out results in those two tournaments. He has however played five Web.com tournaments and managed a 5th place at the Greater Texas Open. He is a runner up here all the way back in 2005 which shouldnt really hold much value but is worth a very small dabble at large odds.

Total Staked - 4.25pts
