Tour Championship

[Fader]

So here we are. Onto the Tour Championship with the brand new format. I'm just not sure about this kind of format. You will have Justin Thomas at -10 before we tee off this week. So, in essence he could be -25 half-way through if things go well. It' just madness to me for a guy who won last week (which i'm happy about ofcourse) for the first time in the year and now he's 10 shots clear of some players.

Anyways, most bookies will be offering 4 places with only 30 players on show, so for me I'm just quite simply taking a couple of players at "win only" I'm not going to bother with each-way this week. I must also point out that a market is avaliable for betting "WITHOUT" the starting strokes structure. So I'll dabble in that too as this course will not be easy to make up mass strokes.

Just so everybody knows this is how the madness is going to unfold. Starting strokes :

J.Thomas -10
-----------------------------------
P.Cantlay -8
----------------------------------
B.Koepka -7
----------------------------------
P.Reed -6
-----------------------------------
R.McIlroy -5
------------------------------------
J.Rahm -4
M.Kuchar -4
X.Schuaffele -4
W.Simpson -4
A.Ancer -4
------------------------------------
G.Woodland -3
T.Finau -3
A.Scott -3
D.Johnson -3
H.Matsuyama -3
-------------------------------------
P.Casey -2
J.Rose -2
B.Snedeker -2
R.Fowler -2
K.Kisner -2
-------------------------------------
M.Leishman -1
T.Fleetwood -1
C.Conners -1
S.im -1
C.Reavie -1
--------------------------------------
B.DeChambre E
L.Oosthuizen E
C.Howell E
L.Glover E
J.Kokrak E

Matsuyama just looked awesome on Sunday especially. That kind of form I'm hoping continues here. I'm going to take him at 40/1 in the outright and also in the "without strokes" market. He's the player I like most this week. Next up, I'll take Snedeker also, another player that looked good last week. He suprised me last week, I didn't expect him up there and I'll pay to see if he can perform this week. Finally, I'll take another player who is a jack of all trades really and a good scrambler and that's Tommy Fleetwood. Possibly out of form but ready to turn that around here.

1pt H.Matsuyama to win 40/1 ladbrokes
0.5pts T.Fleetwood to win 100/1 ladbrokes
2pts H.Matsuyama (without strokes play) 18/1 ladbrokes
2pts B.Snedeker (without stroke play) 45/1 unibet
2pts T.Fleetwood (without stroke play) 25/1 betfair
