Buick Classic
Outright plays (1 unit): Vijay
Singh to win 14/1 e.w. @ Sportingbet, Heathorns or UKBetting
Twice a winner of this event in 1993 and 1995, his only finish outside the
top-25 at Westchester was in 1994 when he withdrew injured. Has been in good
form since winning the Houston Open and finished 4th last time out in the
Memorial. Should go very close and is preferred over Els who has similar course
and current form, but is at shorter odds. David
Toms to win 20/1 e.w. @ Bet365, Sporting Odds, Heathorns or Paddy Power
It is hard to remember that Toms first started playing on the PGA Tour in 1989.
He played this event in 1993, 1994 and 1996 - he had lost in Tour card for the
1995 season - and missed the cut on all three occasions. But Toms had secured
just six top-10 finishes from 131 PGA Tour starts up to 1996, it was not too
surprising he missed the cuts in those. It is a far cry from the player who has
finished in the top-10 in more than half of his starts since the beginning of
last year. He is the form player in the field with finishes of 9th, 4th and 2nd
in his last three events and he will trying particularly hard this week to prove
to himself that he can master this course.
Stewart Cink to win 50/1 e.w. @ Bet365, Sporting Odds, Sportingbet, Victor Chandler or
Heathorns
Looked to have a great chance to win the Memorial Tournament a couple of weeks
ago. He had been in the top-3 all week, but started poorly in the final round
and never recovered. Hopefully, he can bring that 54-hole form with him to a
course on which he has played well in the past. He finished 6th in 1997 and 3rd
last year, which was particularly impressive as it was the week after he had
blown his chance to win the US Open.
Final update: 1-2; +0.38 units
Singh mc
Toms 12th
Cink 5th Was hoping for a better return on the event
with both Toms and Cink starting the final round in the top-10. Toms never
recovered from a double-bogey at the 2nd and while Cink faltered around the
turn, at least the finished strongly to grab a share of 5th place.
