5 pts Brendan Steele to beat Kevin Chappell (Stan James)

Tournament stats strongly suggest putting is an even more important ingredient than usual at CordeValle and with Chappell languishing down in 158th place in the strokes gained putting category on that evidence alone he looks one to take on. Felloe California native Steele hardly excels in that category either (he sits in 90th place) however he tends to hit form at this time of year and his 7th place finish in 2011 when he topped the GIR stats makes impressive reading. With 3 top-20 finishes in his last 5 starts Steele looks well worth following as the even money outsider here.
