Lucas Glover to win 20/1 e.w.
@
Ladbrokes
and
Coral
23rd
Hasn't appeared on Tour since back-to-back top-15 finishes in the Playoffs, but
he appeared in good form in the Presidents Cup as a wildcard selection and is
presumably playing because he is sponsored by Ginn. He may play as badly as
Mickelson last week, but there are a particularly strong incentive for Glover
this week: at the moment he ranks 66th in the World Rankings, which means that,
as things stand, he will not qualify for the any of the majors next year,
despite playing in all of them this year, and nor will he even qualify for the
WGC Match Play Championship in February. Having started the year in 38th place
in the World Rankings, he needs a good couple of weeks, presuming that he will
play next week at the Walt Disney World Resort where he won in 2005. That win
was just one of five top-10 finishes in Florida over the last three years and
with co-favourite Tim Clark out of the event with a neck injury, he will start
as clear favourite to win another title in this State.
Jesper Parnevik to win 40/1 e.w. @
Sportingbet
68th
Parnevik is also a former winner in Florida, having earned his 5th Tour title at
the 2001 Honda Classic. He may be winless since then, but he has come as close
to winning again in recent weeks as in any time since 2001: in his last three
events, he has finished 17th, 2nd and 14th and that 2nd place finish was only
courtesy of a playoff loss having been a wire-to-wire leader in the Texas Open.
With the last week's Tour event being played 2,000 miles away in Arizona and a
further 4,000 miles being covered in the previous five weeks of the Fall Series,
it should certainly help, and particularly at this stage of a gruelling season,
that Parnevik (and Glover) did not play last week. He managed top-10 finishes in
both October events in Florida last year and he should be confident of matching
that in his current form. |
