1pt e.w. Zach Johnson at 35/1 (bet365 1/4 1,2,3,4,5)

A real horses for courses type (see his John Deere Classic record) and Waialae is one of his favourites. He won there in 2009 and three of his last four visits have yielded top 10s. Ended his 2017 campaign with T8 at the RSM Classic on the back of three top 25s.

1pt e.w. Charles Howell at 50/1 (Betfred 1/4 1,2,3,4,5) 

CH3 reeled off seven top five finishes in this event from 2002 to 2013. He's hardly dipped since with 8-13-26-8 on his last four visits. A top four at the OHL Classic two starts ago shows that backing him e.w. at 50s is a route to profit still. 

1pt e.w. Kevin Kisner at 25/1 (Betfair, Paddy Power, Coral 1/5, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

Game is far better suited to Waialae than it was to the Plantation Course where the big hitters left him behind a little. The evidence is top five finishes in each of the last two years. 4th in Strokes Gained: Putting this season and that will allow him to shine on these flat Bermuda greens.
