Dean & Deluca Invitational

We are at the Colonial Club where it is all about the fairways & greens. Seven of the last eight winners have finished in the Top Ten for Scrambling & GIR so these are the qualities that we are looking for rather than Driving Distance or Driving Accuracy.

Garcia in 2001 was the last player under 30 to win this title so looking at experienced players is certainly a good plan here.

Top of the market is Jordan Speith at 6/1 followed by Scott, Kuchar & Zach Johnson. There are question marks against all of these so we are looking for an experienced player at long odds.

Danny Lee 40/1

This is Lee's type of course where he can play fairway to green. Feel he is playing well but needs to convert good play into shots gained & it could be this week. 10th last year; I am expecting better this year.

Emiliano Grillo 100/1

Doesn't meet my age criteria but I see great things for Grillo. He is a bit hit & miss and I am hoping for a hit here.

Sean O'Hair 125/1

Looking back to his best and on a course that should suit, great odds for a reasonable contender.

Fabian Gomez 150/1

Two wins in his last 23 events makes these odds too attractive to ignore. This course should suit him down to the ground and was 9th at the Well Fargo this month.

Troy Merritt 300/1

Got his first tour win last season but has kept largely under the radar. Needs to be more consistent but a punt worth taking at the price.

Think backing Kuchar for a Top Ten finish should be profitable at 11/8 as he appears to be playing his best but I just don't have the confidence that he can win.

Good Luck!
