Outright Picks - Champions Tour

Tipster: Stanley

Bayer Advantage Celebrity Pro-Am (2pts):

Gil Morgan to win 14/1 e.w. @ William Hill and BetInternet
This is why I like betting on this Tour. The joint-favourite withdrew two days ago and only two books have adjusted their markets! As for Morgan, he appears to be approaching his early-season form with finishes of 7th and 3rd in his last two events. While he was in his early-season form he was not available at this price and so having recovered from an opening 75 to finish 14th last year, he looks a strong contender this time around.

D.A. Weibring to win 22/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Weibring didn't play last year, he was just too young to qualify for this event, but on current form he stands a good chance of securing his second win in three starts. He has finished outside the top-10 just three times in his last ten events and these have all been in 'new' events for Weibring, so his youthfulness is certainly overcoming his last course experience each time.

Tom Jenkins to win 25/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Ranked 6th for driving distance, 3rd for driving accuracy and 2nd for greens in regulation in the Senior PGA Championship, it is clear that it was only a cold putter that denied Jenkins a major title. He had finished 2nd the previous week, 4th in Bruno's Memorial Classic earlier in May and won the Blue Angels Classic in April, so he is clearly capable of winning this event. He did play last year and finished 6th, so there are good reasons to support him this week.

Final update: 0-3; -6.00pts

Morgan 11th
Weibring 32nd
Jenkins 40th

Overnight rain made the course unplayable and so the last round was cancelled. It is always a very unsatisfactory way to decide an event and particularly for those losing positions at the time! Morgan would not have won as he was eight shots behind Doyle and four shots outside a place finish, so probably wouldn't have made much difference anyway.
