Bamford Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Valero Texas Open is this week's action on the PGA Tour. Played at the tough TPC San Antonio track, it's never gong to be a highlight of any Tour season, but from a betting event it's fairly interesting. Yes the likes of Steve Bowditch have won this at 350/1, but across the past 3 years Jimmy Walker, Charley Hoffman and Kevin Chappell have all won at 25/1, 30/1 and 33/1 respectively. A track where power in my view is 100% critical, it sets up well for ball-strikers who can access some of the longer par-5 green complexes in 2 mighty blows and also attack the short par-4s at the 5th (342 yards) and the 17th (347 yards). Wind is always a factor in Texas and it looks set to blow again here this week on an exposed course, which has similarities in set-up with the likes of Augusta and Firestone, where power pays. After a 40/1 Webb Simpson each-way return last week I'm in on Billy Horschel and Xander Schauffele at 33/1 + Chesson Hadley at 40/1 this week.
