Outright Picks - PGA Tour

Reno-Tahoe Open
FINAL RESULT: 1-2;
+0.94pts
Waldorf 35th
McCarron 2nd
Crane 29th
Almost another winner. McCarron only lost out on a
playoff to Vaughn Taylor when he failed to hole his 14-foot birdie on
the 1st extra hole. Still a profit and the run of successfully getting
the contenders onto the winning podium had to come to an end sooner or
later.
Outright plays (1.5pts):
Duffy Waldorf to win 16/1 e.w. @
Stan James,
Bet365
and
BetInternet
Some notable withdrawals from this event so don't expect these prices to
last the day. In the absence of Bo Van Pelt, Waldorf should be the
favourite for this event. He played well in the early rounds last week,
had a top-5 finish the week before and has finished in the top-25 in all
five years at this event.
Scott McCarron to win 25/1 e.w. @
Stan James,
BetInternet,
Ladbrokes
and
BlueSq
Missed yesterday's rick of 50/1 from Ladbrokes, but still value at half
those odds. He may have missed the last two cuts, but his form had been
improving beforehand and, living in Reno, he always plays better in his
home state of Nevada. He has finished 4th, 24th and 10th in the last
three years here and in the top-5 in three of the last four years in the
Las Vegas Invitational.
Ben Crane to win 28/1 e.w. @
BetInternet
No such local ties for Crane, but rather he is the player with the best
finish last week - he finished 9th. Maybe that finish in a major would
be good enough reason to avoid him this week, but he has plenty of
motivation this week as he still lies 138th in the Money List and can
now realistically retain his Tour Card after last week's earnings and he
should be able to draw some confidence from the fact that he finished
6th on his debut here last year. Not a huge price, but this is a field
of unconvincing players.
