Bamford Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Always a difficult tournament to call this. Dustin Johnson at 9/1 is a popular pick, but goes against the grain when we look at previous winners since 2009. Sabbatini (45), Day (100), Bradley (200) Dufner (22), Bae (150), Todd (100) and Bowditch (500) - now there is a hardy bunch. I can see the logic with DJ who can destroy this +7,100 par 70 with brute power in soft conditions and he's putting well at the moment. Keegan Bradley (80) came very close for me put eventually I plumped for Leishman (33) Palmer (45), Blixt (80) and 3 triple digits in the form of Barnes (300), Piller (200) and Curran (150). Chesson Hadley is a good shout IMO as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanH Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Favourite backers will be tempted to double up Rory McIlroy in the Irish Open with Jordan Spieth to win the Byron Nelson. However, the world number two missed the cut in the Players Championship and still might not have recovered from wasting a great chance to win the US Masters again in April. Dustin Johnson has been the bridesmaid but never the bride in several majors and is a worthy second favourite but three bigger priced players more suited to the course are preferred.
