All e/w bets.
Was going to have a bet on Tiger to finish in the top 20 but the odds are only 5/2.
My thoughts.
McIlroy - not his sort of course and out of form but he has the ability to up his game for a major. I would only rate him about 14/1 so not on my list.
Speith - should suit his game and should be about 7/1 so worth a bet
Johnson - people who follow my tips know I like DJ. However this course is his worst nightmare. It is all about accuracy & little to gain for big drivers so not keen
Scott - the course should suit but his form has been sketchy. The price is about right so worth a punt if he gets back to his best
Koepka - a lively outsider, in form & good value at 50/1
Woods - if he gets back to his best then great value but I fear he won't do much for a while. My group were discussing Tiger in detail and one thinks he is great value to make the cut at Evens while the rest of us like the 5/6 on him to miss the cut. Divides opinion.
There are so many different reason to back so many different players on an unusual course which could make a lot of good players look like amateurs. There will be hard luck stories and I could pick ten players & not get one in the top six.
Good Luck
