Going with Jason Day (55-1) and Tommy Fleetwood (40-1) e/w

It's a crazy tournament, there's been many shock winners over the years. Freddy Funk, Stephen Ames and Si Woo Kim come to mind. It's been more expected types the last while so the outsider is primed to show up this year or next. I think its always a good idea to pick one from the three figure range.

So for me, I like Will Zalatoris, JT, Jason Day and my out of nowhere guy is Doug Ghim.

Good luck all.

A bit late but none of my guys out yet.

My team this week is Brian Harman whose playing great as is Nick Taylor. Keith Mitchell looks to be rounding into form and Doug Ghim has the approach play and putting to contend. Finally a man whose looked like he's starting to show a bit of his old form from quite a while back is Zach Johnson at a juicy price of 250/1.

Young needs to work with somebody to get him over the line. He's just not thinking properly. He has the class and the desire, he just needs to stay focused on his game no matter if he's in contention.

If you're betting on the win market (in most sports but golf & horses particularly) then Betfair is by far and away the best odds. For ew, high street bookies are better imo

Any fancies in the USPGA @eagle eye?

US open time.

Scheffler win only is my first bet. A pretty large bet.

Then without I've got to have Morikawa. He's going to win very soon, probably when Scheffler isn't in the field.

Matt Fitzpatrick took the month off to work on his game after the PGA championship. He came back with a strong performance last week and like the above two his short game is top notch.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout had had a decent season, was in great shape early in the season then went off a bit but has got form again. Two top fives and two top twenties in his last five, he missed the cut at the PGA championship. He's very strong around the green and putting as well.

Finally a very small bet on our own Tom McKibbin who has all the skills required to do well. He's a major rookie and might be awestruck but at the price I think he's worth a very small wager.

Approach is important at this track but not nearly as important as scrambling and putting. The winner is unlikely to hit 60% of greens or should I say have his ball stay on the greens. They are like table tops and the slopes on them are not gentle.
