1pt Marc Leishman 46

Excellent tournament record, has won in Texas before and likely to be inspired by the exploits of his fellow countrymen on the PGA Tour this season. Definitely worth a wager at 46. 

1pt Brooks Koepka 100

Few professionals in world golf can come close to his win ration with 4 wins from just 45 career starts. Admittedly these were all against relatively weak fields on the European Challenge tour however he has cemented his reputation as a very classly player with a 3rd place finish in the Frys on only his 3rd PGA Tour start closely followed by another strong finish in the Dubai Desert Classic. It would come as no surprise to see him follow in the footsteps of bth Keegan Bradley and Sang Moon-Bae by making the Byron Nelson his first PGA Tour victory.  

1pt Kevin Kisner 220

More often than not it's worth noting when a player displays form at a tournament when really struggling for form generally and that has been the case in both 2011 and 2012 for Kisner at Las Colinas. Twice a winner on the Web.com Tour he appears to finally be finding his feet on the main tour having made his last four cuts culminating in a 6th place in his last start at the Wells Fargo. At 220 he's worth supporting to see if he can keep that momentum going.

 

pre-R4 advice:

Leishman stayed patient and finally started holing some putts from the 8th hole onwards yesterday after giving himself plenty of opportunities. His approach play so far this week has been outstanding so lets hope he can continue to hole his fair share today. To cover our liabilities I'd recommend the following trade which has a good chance of getting matched assuming he contends at some stage of the round:

lay Leishman at 6 to win 3pts (currently trading at 11.5)
