Hi all,
Just a quick thought on the event starting in Perth in a few hours time.
Its hard to get a gauge on a formline as this is a new event. But obviously there is some talent in the field headed by Jason Dufner, who has had a stellar year, although from the point I selected him a month or so ago, he's dropped away a little. And you have to rate big hitting American Bo van Pelt, another to have a solid year. These two head the betting which is no surprise, but as usual I'm looking for a bit of value.
Lake Karinyup is a fantastic track and with the weather tipped to be sunny for the majority of the tournament, their beautiful greens are likely to speed up over the four days. I've realised it lately in my own game that if you putt well, you invariably score well.
So with that as my mantra, I'm tipping Chris Wood @ $101. This guy rates as one of the best putters I've ever seen and his stats back that up, so if he can hit enough greens (as always a big if with many players), he's a huge chance IMO. Almost incredibly, you can get $51 the place (top 5), so perhaps that is a smarter option. Fingers crossed.
I'm also going to make mention of two mates of mine teeing it up, Andrew Martin and Kris Mueck. Both have the potential to post low numbers as shown by Kris least week at Kalgoorlie with a final round 7 under 65. At $126 & $151 respectively, personally I think they a touch unders. I would love to be proven wrong and wish both boys the very best of luck. Look forward to setting them both on Fox sports during the coverage!
A separate post will be uploaded later for the US event.
Cheers

Disco,
ReplyDeleteI think you have had too many WOODstock cans, the Chris WOOD you are thinking of isn't the bloke you have tipped. The bloke your thinking of is the bean pole from the UK, not some random namesake hack in Australia who recorded a 79 today!
You ever get confused with which hole to aim for? That can be dangerous......
Give your fans something, your capable of better!

Let me just point out that yes, i was referring to the Uk version, so i am suggesting this selection is null and void.
ReplyDeleteTAB and Sportsbet are to blame for not having the little flags next to the names.
