Back to the regular golf season this week after filling our wallet at the US Open.

Not going to be betting very big this week because tournaments can be unpredictable the week after a major.

BMW International

I am steering clear of the players that played at the US Open last week, which means avoiding five of the top six in the betting - Stenson, Kaymar, Lowry, Luiten & Weisberger. This makes Chris Wood a clear favourite for me and value at 20/1.

Matthew Fitzpatrick did well for us two weeks ago and is great value at 66/1

Eddie Pepperell tied second in Ireland a couple of weeks ago & is fresh to go again here at 66/1

Darren Fichardt has had improving results recently and got a top ten finish here two years ago so is value at 80/1.

Kristoffer Broberg appears to be finding form with 13th & 6th in his last two events so worth a punt at 80/1

Wood 20/1 (Paddy Power)
Fitzpatrick 66/1 (Coral)
Pepperill 66/1 (Coral)
Fichardt 80/1 (Paddy Power)
Broberg 80/1 (Bet365)

All bets each way. I have only bet small on the last two with half my money going on Wood.

Travellers Championship

A tough field here with Watson, Snedeker, Reed, Garcia, Grace & Horschel coming straight from the US Open. I think Horschel & Leishman have their merits but I prefer the man who hit the heights in the final round last Sunday.

Was really impressed by Louis Oosterhuizen last week & don't mind players from the US Open so much here as there is less travelling involved. It looks like his injury worries are behind him so he could chalk up some big results this summer.

Russell Knox has been getting better & better results and looks sure to get a win soon. He has good form on this course so is value at 40/1.

My third bet is a punt. Graham Delaet is a player who often lets you down but sometimes pulls one out. He claims this is his favourite course so he should be in the right frame of mind. He finished 3rd here two years ago so I am happy to go at 55/1.

Oosterhuizen 25/1 (Coral)
Knox 50/1 (Coral)
Delaet 55/1 (Bet365)

All bets each way. I have over half my money on Oosterhuizen.

I think there is a value bet in the Scottish Hydro Challenge Tour Event.

Andrew McArthur has shown some good form this season and noticeably does better in events in Scotland. Think he is worth a bet at 40/1 each way on Paddy Power.
