Outright Picks - PGA Tour

Memorial Tournament (1.5pts):
Chad Campbell to win 25/1 available generally
Campbell should be looking to put the disappointment of losing out on
the Colonial to Steve Flesch behind him this week, though he should take
some comfort from the fact that he had not been in contention for a
title since winning the Bay Hill Invitational in March. Last year he
finished in the top-10 and was ranked first in greens in regulation so
he has mastered this course and could be the man to profit from the
jetlag of so many of the other leading players.
Stewart Cink to win 33/1 e.w. @
SkyBet,
Bet365
and
BetInternet
Cink finished alongside Campbell in 6th place last year, but had been
only a shot behind Perry after 36 holes and before the very cold and
windy conditions over the weekend. Add that to finishes of 9th and 4th
in the previous two years and Cink appears to certainly have an eye for
this course. In good form, I'll back him each-way as the best odds of
6/1 for a top-5 place seems a little short.
Jay Haas to finish in the top-ten 9/1 @
Paddy Power
There are two very good reasons to stay away from Haas this week. He
competed in a (Senior) major last week and the event finished on Monday.
But on the other hand, he does have excellent course and current form.
He has played here in each of the last 26 years and missed the cut only
twice. In that time he has also had eight top-10 finishes. In terms of
his general form, he has four top-10 finishes from ten PGA Tour starts
this year and had seven from twenty-one last year. This makes odds of
9/1 look extremely large!
Final update: 1-2; +10.50pts
Campbell 24th
Cink 40th
Haas 8th
Well done to Paddy Power for introducing top-ten
betting! Haas never looked like getting into the top-5 and finished four
shots shy of that mark, but he was around the top-10 throughout the
event. Not so good from the other two, but still a healthy profit on the
event.
