In a reduced field and a field that is one of the worst for several years on the
PGA Tour, two of the Tour winners in the last two years stand out from the
crowd. Bohn would have been playing at Hoylake had he not withdrawn a month ago
to defend his B.C. Open. There really can be no doubting his motivation this
week even though the event has been moved to a different course. He has been
playing very well in the last month in particular, having not missed a cut since
February, and in last week's John Deere Classic, he ranked 1st in driving
accuracy and 10th in driving distance. With so many journeymen pros in this
field, he is one player who has shown that he can win in low scoring contests
and could certainly repeat Vaughn Taylor's feat in the Reno-Tahoe Open.

In terms of form, both Chopra and Ogilvie have shown very few people have been
playing as well in the last three events, but their continued failings to
convert a good weekend position make 25/1 appear very poor value compared to
Bohn and also to Palmer, who won the 2004 FUNAI Classic with a final round 62 in
a low-scoring event, which is highly likely to be the case this week. He was
involved in the shootout last year, finishing 2nd behind Bohn, and he has been
showing a return to that form recently. One of the bigger hitters on Tour, he
should find the wide-open fairways at Atunyote to his liking and looks decent
value at 40/1. |
