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.
