result: 0-4, -3.66 BACK Dustin Johnson to win 50pts @36 (i.e. stake 1.43pts) It's not my usual type of bet - with a win last week he's obviously not coming here 'under the radar' in any sense. I just think there are enough positives here that he is worth backing - he is obviously in great form with the win at the St Jude, he should still be fairly fresh though after a spell out due to injury earlier in the season. Parallels have been drawn between this course and Riveria and he has an excellent record there - in fact he has an excellent record in California generally. He should really have at least one major in the bag by now after numerous contentions. BACK Bill Haas to win 100pts @150 (i.e. stake 0.67pts) Big looking price for the reigning Fed Ex Cup champion and multiple winner on tour. Two of those victories came in California - one at Riveria. BACK Carl Pettersson to win 100pts @140 (i.e. stake 0.72pts) Another player who has achieved quite a lot without ever being too heralded. Pretty decent record in this event and the course should suit. BACK Kyle Stanley to win 200pts @240 (i.e. stake 0.84pts) Produces his best golf on the west coast and while he has gone off the boil slightly since his eventful early season it is perhaps no coincidence that the dip in form coincided with the tour's move to other parts of the country. He played the full four rounds last week and ranked 1st in the field for GIR - which looks like being the key stat this week. It was only the putter that prevented a higher finish but he seems much happier on bentgrass greens so that could improve this week. |
