Valero Texas Open > March 27th - 30th

[Marty b]

Hi everyone, The Valero Texas Open looks to be a very open event this year. The course usually plays pretty tough with not particularly high scoring. It does not favour any particular type of player but looking at the statistics players with a high ranked driving distance combined with a highly ranked GIR do well here. Here are my selections: Charley Hoffman 28/1 paddy power 6 places 5 pts e/w Charley has a brilliant record here finishing tied 3rd here last year and finishing no lower than 13th in 4 attempts here. Last two times out he has finished t12th and t25th and has made 9 out of 10 cuts. He is ranked 20th in driving distance and 23rd in GIR. Hopefully his long driving can make a real difference here. Seung Yul Noh 80/1 paddy power 6 places 2 pts e/w the Korean has made 10 out of 11 cuts this season and is ranked 44th in driving distance and 32nd in GIR. Yeung has been threatening to post some good finishes for a while now and he seems to perform better on the more testing courses. I'm taking a chance this could be his week. Trevor Immelman 125/1 paddy power 6 places 1.5 pts e/w The South African has been putting together a run of decent form finishing t37 in Puerto Rico and t26 last week. He is ranked lowly in driving distance and GIR so I have gone against that trend but I just feel his form is improving and that can over ride the statistics. He is a good putter so if he can hit those greens he has a chance. Total outlay 17 pts

Re: Valero Texas Open > March 27th - 30th Tournament preview: 1pt ew J.Walker to win Texas Open 22/1 Coral (1/4 1-5) I like Jimmy Walker this week. He is a local resident so the course should be familiar to him and he is hitting the ball as well as anyone this season. He has already won three times on the PGA Tour this season and while he’s had a couple of quiet weeks since his last win he should be ready to step it up again now. Walker ranks second in par four scoring which should prove crucial this week and with his putter working well and his long game in good order the local man is well worth supporting here.
