Safeway Open

[Bamford]

Opening event of the PGA Tour season - 2 weeks after the close of the previous one! - at Silverado Country Club, North California. 4th visit here and with no rain forecast this looks like being a -15 to -17 scoring mission. Tree-lined and classical, scoring across the par-4s and par-5s is more than possible for those who can hit plenty of greens and putt well on predominantly Poa Annua (with some Bentgrass) putting surfaces. As we know they aren't everybody's cup of tea.

Seems to be the case that slightly underlying players tend to get a win this week - OWGR consideration + non PGA Tour winners - never a bad angle. Ball-strikers or streaky scorers have won up until this point; 

I'm with Lovemark (40/1), Laird (50/1), Uihlein (50/1), Glover (50/1) and Murray (70/1).

In Play Finishing Position with Sporting Index

Chris Kirk

Sell @ 52 for 1pt

Finished 8th last year, and though only level par in round 1 should improve if playing the par 5s better

[Striker]

Had a decent second round.

Could have been better, so will close my position with a Buy at 45 for a Profit of 7pts

 

[Striker]

Chris improved again, so anyone who hasn't cashed out yet can do so now at 31.5 for a very decent 20pts + Profit
