Springfield, Illinois is the next stop for the Web.com and Panther Creek CC is the host. The course was designed by Hale Irwin and measures 7,244 yards and looking at last year's results the focus should primarily be on Scrambling as the eventual winner Flores ranked 5th in the field. It is also worth selecting a golfer who ranks highly in Driving Accuracy and GIR.

My picks are as follows:

Roberto Castro - 1pt e/w @ 25/1 - This tournament seems a perfect fit for Castro - he is 5th in Driving Accuracy, 2nd in GIR and 4th in Scrambling. He has had a fantastic year on tour, recording four top 10s in just nine appearances and is just missing that win - it could come this week.

Brian Campbell - 0.5pts e/w @ 45/1 - A former student of the University of Illinois should know the course and area well. He has three top 20 finishes in his last four appearances and despite missing the cut here last year and his recent form and 8th ranking in Scrambling could see a different approach this year.

Kramer Hickok - 0.25pts e/w @ 125/1 - A man who has never played the course but fits my profile in that he sits 5th in Scrambling and 36th in Driving Accuracy. he has performed admirably this year with four top 20 finishes and could kick on. 

Total Staked - 3.5pts
