Looking at the latest weather forecasts there looks to be a potential draw bias here favouring those with Thursday early / Friday late tee times and with that in mind both  recommendations this week are on that side of the draw:

1.5pts Pat Perez 220

I think mercurial talent Perez offers outstanding value at this price. Very adept at playing in windy conditions, aside from a MC at Bay Hill Perez has been a model of consistency this year making every cut, the highlight being a 4th in the AT&T. With an 8th, 12th and 27th place finish here from 5 starts (one of which was a WD), Houston clearly fits his eye and I'm very surprised to see him priced up at a dismissive 220.

1pt Jeff Overton 280

Although still seeking his first win on tour, Overton's credentials this week are otherwise solid and similarly his price looks way over the odds. Houston has to be one of Overton's favourite stops on the circuit borne out by 6 cuts made from 7 (the other a WD) including a 4th in 2012. He topped the GIR stats when finishing 7th at the Honda and given his liking for Texas (a 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8th to go with his 4th here) he offers excellent trading potential at the very least.

I would also recommend supporting both in the top 10 market but unfortunately there's little liquidity on the Exchange.
