Re: PGA Tour 2012: Honda Classic 01-04 March International players have played well here in the past as it's a tough par 70 where the wind blows - not a typical PGA Tour course where the birdies usually flow. Likely that ball striking will be more important that putting. Sean O'Hair @ 71 ew BoyleSports Still only 29 and seems to have been in and out of sticky patches over the last 10 years. From Texas and has proved in the past that he has no problem with windy conditions. Has 3 PGA wins at tough courses with finishing scores of -4, -11 and -4 so can clearly play tougher courses. Top 25 finish here last year when in much poorer form. Has made all 4 cuts this year including a runner up in similarly windy conditions at the Sony Open. Hitting over 70% of greens so far this year. Big odds for such a big talent. Thomas Bjorn @ 81 ew BetFred Three wins last year on the European Tour and a top 5 at The Open show that Bjorn still has the ability to challenge at the highest level. Has started this year really well in strokeplay events with 4 top 25s in 4 events so far. No doubt he can play in the windy and tough conditions. Hasnt won in the USA but has finished in the top 3 at the USPGA twice (with a top 3 in Kentucky, a southern state) and he should have confidence coming into every tournament nowadays. Was 1/4 of these odds during the desert swing in equally strong fields and these conditions should suit. Mark Wilson @ 51 ew Bet365 Top 25 in the world, a win and a top 3 in his last 4 tournaments, 3 PGA Tour wins in his past 35 tournaments and a former winner at the course. With wins here, Mexico and Hawaii, he has shown that coastal and windy conditions are no problem for him - the reality is that he should be half the price that he is. Seung Yul-Noh @ 111 ew Bet365 At only 20, Noh seems to be a forgetten star. Winning on the European Tour at only 18 he seemed to have the world in his hands, but while his results in Asia have been decent he hasnt quite pushed on, until now. I've been impressed with his start to his PGA Tour life making 4 out of 5 cuts (and even in the missed cut he opened with a 65). His form is progressive finishing T16 last week in Mexico where his ball striking was excellent (7th in GIR and top 20 in both distance and accuracy) which should prepare him well for the windy conditions this week. Tournament previously won by countryman YE Yang before he went on to win a major which should hopefully inspire the young Korean. Kenny Perry @ 176 ew BlueSq It's true that Perry is now playing with the seniors, but that doesnt mean his game is in bad shape. He made the cut in Phoenix on the PGA Tour when his game didnt look in such good shape, but last time out he looked mighty impressive on the seniors pretty much wrapping up the tournament after 2 rounds. He was first for putting, first for birdies, second for distance and GIR and 13th for accuracy when winning by 5 shots in Florida (where this weeks tournament will be played!). Has finished top 20 here previously and made the cut here last year so should have some decent memories alongside a positive mindset about his game at the moment. Seems a massive price on a proven winner. GL:ok
