Betfair Picks - PGA Tour

Tipster: Chris

Odds: Betfair

Chrysler Classic of Tucson

FINAL RESULT: -6.5pts

Update:
Back Justin Rose 0.75pts e/w @40/1 at Ladbrokes
Definitely one I put in the winner waiting to happen category. He has not been the best over the weekend after getting in to contention so far in his career stateside, but against this strength of field he really should have nothing to fear.

Update:
Back Arron Oberholser 1pt e/w @25/1 at BlueSq
Should probably be the standalone favourite here - and is with some books. Already managed two 6th place finishes this season, and was sixth here last season (which maybe is a rather worrying trend for an e/w back at 5 places!). He did win an unofficial tournament in the off season in Korea against a fairly strong field and is an Arizona native. These odds aren't huge, but are too good to pass up.

Feeling a bit deflated after last week (check the archive for the full story), but the show must go on as they say...

These sorts of tournaments with weak fields can often pay the richest rewards in golf betting as the compilers find them harder to price up with so many less familiar names on show.

The Betfair market hasn't really warmed up yet so I will look to the bookies for a couple of plays

Back Andrew Magee 1pt e/w @33/1 at BetInternet
He has been one of the most consistent performers so far this season (ranking second in the field for current form). He also has a good record in this event with a 6th place last time out and other decent finishes. He really shouldn't be at odds of much more than 20/1 here in my opinion.

Back Ted Purdy 0.5pts e/w @80/1 at BlueSq -- price now available at Ladbrokes
Purdy is a player who has been threatening to win an event for some time now, but never quite pulled it off. This sort of weaker field represents his best opportunity. Like Magee he's also shown some decent form here before and shouldn't be at odds anything like this big.
