Byron Nelson Championship (1.5pts):

Ernie Els to win 10/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Not a good sight when four players are at single figure odds for a PGA Tour event, but at Stan James (and Ladbrokes) have pushed Els out to 10s. I'll bite at that price. He was 4th last time he played here, holds the course record of 61 around Cottonwood Valley and has finished 2nd in the Masters and 3rd in the Heritage in his last two starts. He is edging very close to win #3 of the year.

Scott Verplank to win 50/1 e.w. @ William Hill
Not exactly optimistic that the next two selections are capable of winning against the top four players in the world, but they have both got a good record in this event. Verplank has finished in the top-four in two of the last three years here and while his form has dipped in the last month, he could certainly sneak a place finish in his native State. Would prefer the place-only odds, but 15/2 is rather skimpy when 50/1 e.w. is on offer.

Nick Price to finish in the top-five 11/1 @ SkyBet
Price retains his place as a selection after missing out on a place win last week solely because of a very poor first round. Even more than Verplank, he has an excellent record around these courses - top-15 in each of the last five years and he is the leading money winner in this event with $1.5 million. He is certainly capable of finish in the top-5 for the third time in four years.

Final update: 0-3; -4.50pts

Els 7th
Verplank 14th
Price 7th

A blank, but anything but a poor effort by the selections. All three were in the top-five in the last hour of the event and Price had been as high as 2nd only to bogey the last hole and it proved to be the shot that took him out of the top-five places. So close.
