Nashville Golf Open

Nashville Golf & Athletic Club is the host this week and it ranks as the 16th hardest course in the US according to Golf Digest. Sat in the rolling hills at Crockett Springs, the premium here is on accuracy and patience and would hint at a more experienced golfer as the conqueror this week. I will be looking for solid Ball Strikers and Par Breakers along with those who have some element of course experience.

My picks are as follows:

Taylor Moore - 1pt ew @ 25/1 - As much as I really dont want to tip one of the short priced favourites, I find it hard not to add Moore to the staking plan. He sits 2nd in Ball Striking, 18th in Par Breaking and finished 3rd here last year. Having a cracking season, he has no less than four top 10s and must be close to claiming his first victory.

Eric Axley - 0.5pts ew @ 50/1 - Axely has played the course twice, finishing 30th and more recently 11th, showing progressive form. He is an experienced campaigner who ranks 8th in Par Breaking and has already won this year on the Web.com.

Ricky Barnes - 0.25pts ew @ 100/1 - I was surprised and happy to see Barnes in the field this week. He is a wiley character who seems to flourish on tricky tracks like this. He has had a very indifferent season on the PGA Tour and hopefully a step down in class will give him a much needed boost.

Total Staked - 3.5pts
