Golf 16-19 Aug - Wyndham Champ/Scandinavian Masters

[Cymro]

Interested to hear the views of the regular golf tippers on the above tournaments. Both have pretty poor fields as the top players prepare for the Fedex Cup playoffs starting next week. The backdrop to this is that the top 144 players on the FC standings after this week's PGA tournament make their way into a 4 week playoff culminating in a 30-strong final event. The current standings for the players competing in the Wyndham can be seen next to their names on the leaderboard (http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboards/2007/r013/index.html) At this stage I am very tempted by Anders Hansen for several reasons, firstly he seems to be playing solid golf and has registered T22 and T12 finishes at the WGC and USPGA events where the field was infinitely stronger than this one. He's also won on the European Tour this year at the BMW Champs. Secondly he is ranked 151 on the FC list and will need a strong showing to work his way into the playoffs. On the European Tour the bets that appeal are Mikko Ilonen (33/1) and Nick Dougherty to be Top GB/Ire at 16/1. Ilonen is capable of shooting very low and has performed well in much better fields. Dougherty is a frustrating young talent but has done ok in regular tour events and 16/1 looks good for an each way dabble. Final bets to be confirmed before tee-off tomorrow.

All players playing relatively well and stats in recent events have suited this course i.e. straight driving, decent GIR and good putting. Also had a week off last week and didnt have to endure the incredible heat in Tulsa. GL
