NEC Invitational
Outright plays (1 unit):
Jim Furyk to win 16/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
Failed to earn a return as a selection last week, but few concerns about
his form and confidence at the moment. He will need another win if he is
to secure the Player of the Year award and this represents an excellent
opportunity. He has finished 10th, 4th and then 2nd in his three visits
to Firestone for a WGC event so with Tiger Woods far from dominant at
the moment, there should be new winner on this course and Furyk looks
one of the strongest contenders.
Vijay Singh to win 16/1 e.w. @ SkyBet,
Sportingbet,
Sporting Odds,
BetInternet
and BlueSq
Singh has hardly received a mention for the Player of the Year award
even though he currently lies 3rd on the Money List. He has simply
failed to win a major this year, but had been in contention last week
until a closing 79. His 34th place finish was his first finish outside
the top-20 in any event since the Players Championship in March and it
won't happen again this week. In seven visits to Firestone (three in WGC
events), Singh has never finished outside the top-15 on this course and
is certainly capable of winning his 3rd PGA Tour title of the year.
Kenny Perry to win 22/1 e.w. @
Sportingbet,
Sporting Odds
and
Victor
Chandler
Perry had very little chance of winning the PGA Championship after an
opening 75 last week, but he never stopped trying and improved his score
in every round to finish in the top-10. You can't ask for more than that
from your selection! It took his run of top-10 finishes to eight - a run
that started with three wins in the first four events. He hasn't played
at Firestone since 1995, but that should matter little in his current
form and mindset. Should at least go close for a place finish.
Final update: 0-3; -3.00 units
Furyk 6th
Singh 6th
Perry 53rd
No chance of catching Clarke, but both Singh and Furyk had good
chances of securing a place return. They both finished one place too low
which seems to be a recurring theme this week.
