The Players Championship
Top quality field headed by Speith, McIlroy, Day, Fowler, Matuyama, Garcia, Rose, Scott, Dustin Johnson, Watson & Stenson.
None of the above really catch my eye for the prices although we could all be made to look silly if Speith or Day coasts home by six shots. This course suits players who are accurate off the tee & are good on GIR in my opinion so I am looking for all rounders who are capable of four good rounds.
Branden Grace 40/1
Won at the Heritage last month and 9th at the Texas Open show that he is in decent form and this course should be to his liking. Rate his chances as better than players half his price.
Danny Willett 50/1
Suggestions that he might be undercooked have given us a decent price. Willett doesn't play to make up the numbers. He has only played six tournaments this year but has won two of them and has a third place. I expect him to be a serious contender this week.
Charley Hoffman 70/1
Won the Texas Open last month and with three consecutive Top 15 finishes is in good nick at the moment. Good value at this price.
Kevin Kisner 100/1
Runner up here last year so loves the course. A better player now with a win at the RSM Classic, a second at the HSBC and ninth at the Tournament of Champions. If he is on his A Game then he will be close.
Bill Haas 100/1
Fifth here a year ago and in a decent run of form with 9th, 8th, 2nd & 9th already this year. could be right there on Sunday.
Good Luck!

The Players Championship (Day One)
It could end as a procession with Jason Day already two clear on -9 ahead of Tringale, Lowry, Rose, Haas & Steele. Other big names - Els -6, Zach Johnson -5, Matsuyama -4, Poulter -3, Bubba -3, Mickelson -2, Snedeker -1, Furyk -1, Speith Par, Garcia Par, Fowler Par, Oosthuizen Par, McIlroy Par, Scott +1, Stenson +5.
Mixed day for our guys with Haas right in there at -7. The rest have a bit to do and Day might run away with this one.
Branden Grace 40/1 Par Tied 83rd
Danny Willett 50/1 -2 Tied 41st
Charley Hoffman 70/1 +1 Tied 103rd
Kevin Kisner 100/1 +2 Tied 118th
Bill Haas 100/1 -7 Tied 2nd

Irish Open
The Irish Open is back at the K Club & while we have some course form, it is a bit dated. Rory McIlroy is the 4/1 Favourite with other names including Willett, Lowry, Knox, Luiten, McDowell & Westwood.
I can find reasons for not backing any of the above - McIlroy just isn't a worthy 4/1 favourite, Willett seems under cooked, Lowry is poor value at 18/1, Knox doesn't justify 28/1, Luiten has form but is probably too short, McDowell & Westwood need to step up to win. All which leaves me looking for longer shots.
My gut feeling is that the course will favour GIR players but not 100% on this so being flexible.
Rafael Cabrera Bello 35/1
I think length could be a great advantage here & RCB has been pretty consistent this season. He had a bad week last week at Sawgrass but before that had seven Top 20 finishes out of eight, four of them Top Five finishes. He is much improved around the green & he will be winning soon.
Thorbjorn Olesen 55/1
Olesen is a bit inconsistent but if he can put four decent rounds together then he should go close at a decent price. He often performs well in poor conditions and the forecast is that there may be wind & rain.
Andrew Johnston 80/1
Won the Spanish Open last month where he topped the stats for GIR & Driving Accuracy, qualities that will see him right up there. Far better form than most of the favourites here and great value.
I quite like Luiten 33/1, Wiesberger 40/1, Rock 100/1, Lorenzo-Vera 300/1,
Good Luck!
