Tour Championship

[Bamford]

A 30-man field for the PGA Tour closing Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Plenty on the line this week around the classical, Par 70 which features MiniVerde Bermudagrass greens. It's a stretching course at circa 7,400 yards with a couple of par-5s and players have to play approaches with longer irons rather than a plethora of wedges. No precipitation in this part of Georgia for well over a week, so expect roll on the fairways and firmer greens than we have been accustomed to recently. The course rewards a little accuracy off the tee, but of late, power is becoming more important. In-reality this is a ball-striking exercise, where patience and a game-plan is critical. Hot-heads will struggle and undoubtedly winners here have U.S. Open associations. Of course the FedEx Cup rankings complicate matters further, and I have been selective going for 3 players across the 30-man field.

I'm going for Bryson DeChambeau (20/1), Webb Simpson (28/1) and Bubba Watson (50/1).

Not really a great event for Top finishes but Billy Horschel looks over priced at 2/1 (Skybet) for a Top 10 considering he has only played here twice, winning and a 7th. Been a bit in and out all season but is coming off a 3rd at the last tournament.

Really fancy Rory to finish the season on a high and put a marker down early for Europe. A former winner so clearly gets on with the course, if he holes a few putts he'll be very close. Bubba looks too big at 55-1 ew.
