Golf - AT&T Classic

[hornet_18]

I wish I could tip Cink as I think he will be there at the business end but at 15 cant do it considering he hasnt won for over 2years!

Sport	Golf
Event	AT&T Classic
Selection	Charles Howell III (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10
Date	17/05/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Paddy Power @ 34.00 (Back)
Reasoning	This week there is a low quality field. The five market leaders are top quality but after that the quality is missing. The most important things on this course are long driving, GIR and a good putter. Charles Howell III is one of those class players. Although he hasnt been playing that well of late, I feel that on this low scoring course he should come good. He has played this twice in 01 & 02 and he finished with a MC and a T6 so he does know how to play this course if he wants to. He hits the ball far with an average drive of well over 290yds and he is in the top 30 for GIR. Although his putting isnt great, if the course suits him, he should be able to hit a low score having hit 3 scored under -13 this year already. GL

Selection	Jonathan Byrd (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10

Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 41.00 (Back)
Reasoning	This week there is a low quality field. The five market leaders are top quality but after that the quality is missing. The most important things on this course are long driving, GIR and a good putter. Last week at the Players Champ Byrd played brilliantly finishing T16 which should give him a lot of confidence. He has a hot putter and is rated at 11th on tour and can hit the ball quite a long way and is in the top 50 for driving distance. He also has course form with a T6 finish last year which should give him confidence to do a bit better this year. GL

Selection	Daniel Chopra (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10
Date	17/05/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 67.00 (Back)
Reasoning	This week there is a low quality field. The five market leaders are top quality but after that the quality is missing. The most important things on this course are long driving, GIR and a good putter. Chopra has been playing solid golf for a long time now, however, he has never broken into the winners circle. However, he is playing well at the moment and is top 50 for driving distance, GIR and putting. This course should suit him but his course form is poor, however, I'm willing to ignore this and see if this consistently good player can have a great week in a poor field. GL

Selection	Matthew Goggin (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10

Reasoning	This week there is a low quality field. The five market leaders are top quality but after that the quality is missing. The most important things on this course are long driving, GIR and a good putter. Goggin has been around for a while but has never really broken through. However, he is playing well at the moment with 4 top 35s in his last 5 tournaments. He has a good drive over 290yds and is top 15 for GIR. While putting i his weakness, last week at the players he was in the top 30 for putting so Im hoping he can carry his hot putter over to TPC Sugarloaf. He has the same course form as Howell III with a MC and a T6 so he does know how to play the course. Having finished T12 at the players last week, he should be full of confidence and should be in good shape to make a push for his maiden win. GL

Re: Golf - AT&T Classic Please don't worship this tip, i'm no god at golf betting so don't think I can do it twice in a row following Phil Mickelson @ 14/1 last week.:lol :lol But who knows!;) I find it hard to fancy anyone this week, but got Setanta so would be silly not to have a small interest, was quite shocked when I saw Stenson at 16s here, thought he would be shorter, anyway best of luck. May have a few other weeks through the course of the weekend, maybe outright after first 1 or 2 rounds finished, will let you know HENRIK STENSON E/W @ 16/1 Paddy Power TOP 10 FINISH @ 7/4 Skybet Undoubtably the class act in the field. World ranked number 7, he is a proven winner this year in Asia against a very strong field including Woods, which is a major mental positive here and has had solid finishes in USA recently. Masters he was 17th and in Players he was 23rd. This weak is a much weaker field which doesn't including hardly any more of the worlds best and this looks a very good opputunity for Stenson to win in USA.
