USPGA Championship - August 9th - August 12th

*Jim Furyk - 2.5 Points WIN @ 50/1 Paddy Power* I think Jim may have a good chance in this year's PGA. He seems to be getting back to his former self in 2012 after a couple of relatively poor years for him. He has won 16 times on tour, he has a weird swing, but he is a very effective player. Looking at his year this year, he has only missed 2 cuts out of 16 events, and his results are pretty consistent and impressive, even without winning. He has had 4 Top 10's this season so far, 2nd inthe Transitions where he lost out on a play-off, was 4th in the Crowne Plaza and was also 4th in the US Open, where at one stage he looked like he was going to win that tournament, but he let a lead slip. He was also 8th in the Heritage. He has had a good few Top 20's too, he is playing great golf this year. He has made the cut in the last 4 PGA Championships, he has had 3 Top 10's in this event over the years, but has never won it, and with time running out on his career, just like we saw with Ernie in the Open, he will be very eager to try to win this tournament. I think he has a live chance in what will be a tough event.

Re: USPGA Championship - August 9th - August 12th Pádraig Harrington win 2pts @ 50/1 (Bet365) I'm not gonna jump off my horse and after a disappointing display in the British Open I hope Harrington can prove me right on this very difficult course where he won the World Cup of Golf 15 years ago together with Paul McGinley. Harrington is of course a former winner of the US PGA Championship in 2008 and I'll be with him once again. I'm having a second bet on Steve Stricker win 1pt @ 50/1 Stricker has got the experience to play very well in this kind of tournament and has been playing pretty well of late. Won a tournament at the start of the season (Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Maui in Hawaii), has got 9 top10 finish in the Majors in his long career and in the US PGA Championship was 2nd in 1998 (his best ever result in a Major), T7 in 2006, T23 in 2007, T39 in 2008, T18 in 2010 and T12 in 2011. In 2011 he finished all the Majors in the top20 (T11 at the Masters, T19 at the US Open, T12 at the Open Championship and T12 at the US PGA Championship). This year the results have been a little worse but still playing a solid golf that gave him a T47 in the Masters and a T15 in the US Open before a T23 yesterday at the Open Championship. Has dropped a bit in the ranking after many years in the top10 of the PGA Tour (nr.22 atm) but I still saw a talented golfer at the top of his game and in the Ocean Course I'll be happy to side with an experienced talented golfer in good form like him in addition to Harrington.
