Hello again golf fans. Balance: -$150 ( this includes the $25 that is already lost on some poor bugger called Chris Wood)
I don't want to hear any more talk of tipping golfers that aren't actually playing.
To the McGladrey event in the US.
It's a little stronger field this week, but I am claiming a win last week because I don't think I would have selected Blixt in my top 10, despite his recent good form. I guess all rookies have to break through at some point, but try telling that to Jeff Overton. 188 starts without a win. Can play though, so surely his time will come. One day. Not this week.
Ok. I've had a liking for my top tip this week for some time because he hits it a tonne and that's Gary Woodland ($41). He's had a frustrating year. Injury curtailed much of the early part of the year ( think it was his wrist, can anybody confirm/ deny??) and lately he's undergone some swing changes, so he is probably up against it. But he's fully qualified for next season and sometimes that will free a bloke up to play his best golf. He showed enough last week to suggest there is a little something there, so the first $15 is on him, straight out. He hit almost 70% of greens and fairways last week to get his best result for the year. Let's hope he builds on that and carries the momentum into this week.
The last $10 will be invested on a bloke with a putter as hot as my own, Martin Flores ($81). I read somewhere this week that he has leapt up the rankings of strokes gained putting, so did some research of mine and its true! He could be described as middle of the road in the past but his stats of recent times indicate that he has done some work with the flat stick. Here it comes again, but if he can hit a high% of greens, he has to be some sort of chance. His best results have been when he has got close to or better than 70% GIR, so fingers crossed he can achieve numbers like that this week.
Good luck if you're having a flutter this week and also on the course.
Cheers
Disco
