The WGC Cadillac is staged at the usual venue of the @Blue Monster’ at Doral. It’s a 7334 yard par 72 and water is an obvious feature. The rough is thick-ish but the course is not mega severe (39th out of 49 in difficulty in 2012 but things can get tricky if the wind blows. There is a very strong field with all the big names present. Justin Rose defends and looks well positioned to be in the mix again.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Dustin Johnson | 2pt each way 45-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: T12 Back Dustin Johnson Again |
Any time that Johnson is available at this price is tempting. Proven winner, good wind player and has posted his first victory this season already. A 2nd place here in 2011 is pretty much all you need to know this week. Moderate form over the last few weeks probably explains why 45-1 is available but we think he’s got a leading chance. | |||
Bo Van Pelt | 2pt each way 66-1 | SkyBet |
Finishing position: T39 Back Bo Van Pelt Again |
Bo had a super year in 2012 and looks ready to take the step to his first PGA Tour victory. A solid if unspectacular start this season doesn’t put us off. 8th last year at this venue and he’s a better player now. He had a good win in October in the Perth International so the belief that he can do it in America must be increasing. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:00 on 05/03/2013. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
