5-2; -9.63pts Pre-tournament plays: BACK 1pt Luke List 25 37th Graeme McDowell 27 mc List showed great form at the start of this season with top-15 finishes in five consecutive events and has returned to form with finishes of 27th and 17th in the last two weeks. That is enough to see him 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings and so the highest-ranked player in this field. With a top-15 finish last year when this course was first used, that makes him a likely contender for this title List may be searching for his first PGA Tour win, but McDowell can count three including a Major and he form this year suggests that he should also be a strong contender for this event - his finishes read: 28th-13th-67th-14th-14th-28th. Power off the tee was more important than accuracy last year, which favours List and not McDowell, but McDowell has the experience as well as the form to compete in events such as this LAY 20pts liablity Dominic Bozzelli 60 mc Scott Stallings 70 wd Cameron Tringale 75 44th Thorbjorn Olesen 80 mc Fabian Gomez 85 24th Bozzelli has been very hit-and-miss in his rookie season with two top-5 finishes and six missed cuts in his last eight starts. That makes him a good player to side with in win-only markets, but only if the price represents value and I think that he should be ten points higher When Stallings recorded an 8th place finish in the CareerBuilder Challenge in January it was his first top-10 finish on this Tour since 2015. He hasn't recorded another one since and with a course history that reads missed cut in his previous visit, he is another who should be price at least ten points higher Tringale also recorded his first top-10 on this Tour since 2015 earlier this year, but his lask of form outside that 8th place finish in the Genesis Open is ample enough reason to oppose him at these odds - his six other stats this year read: mc-73rd-mc-mc-65th-mc Olesen is another playing lacking form this year with a season-high finish of 29th back in January in Abu Dhabi. More recently, he has finished 63rd (of 76) in the Mexico Championship and missed the cut last week at Bay Hill It is a similar story with Gomez - he opened the season with finish of 20th (of 32) in the SBS Tournament of Champions, but has a best finish of 62nd in his six starts since that event - that should make him a higher price than this
