Valero Texas Open Tips

Valero Texas Open - JW Marriott, TPC San Antonio, San Antonio, TX

27 March 2014 - 30 March 2014

Tip date: 25 March 2014

TPC San Antonio is the venue this week. The course is a 7522 yard par 72 and is one of the more difficult tracks of the year. There are the usual Texas winds together with deep bunkers and narrow fairways. It’s fair to say this isn’t one of the more popular venues with the pros. This event usually sports a weak field so maybe one of the Tour’s lesser lights will come to the fore. This course has only been used since 2010 so course form before then is of only limited value. Martin Laird won last year with a superb final round. Phil Mickelson is the early bookies favourite.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Cameron Tringale	1.5pt each way 66-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	Finishing position: T46 Back Cameron Tringale Again
Cameron is a young, up and coming player who is certainly capable of notching a PGA Tour win. He’s been somewhat overshadowed of late by the likes of Harris English but there is reason to think he might step into the limelight this week. He’s made his last eight cuts and he’s had a T28-T5-T8-MC in his four attempts at San Antonio. We’re happy to have a small nibble at this price.
Charley Hoffman	2pt each way 33-1	Coral	Finishing position: T11 Back Charley Hoffman Again
Charley is about the nearest we have to a Texas Open expert. He’s got a solid long term record here and San Antonio form of 13-2-13-3 is pretty decent. We backed him last year for a nice 40-1 place finish. He openly admits this is one of his favourite tournaments and there’s no reason to think he won’t be in the mix again this week.
Pat Perez	2pt each way 66-1	BetVictor	Finishing position: T11 Back Pat Perez Again
We’re happy to go on Pat again this week. He’s had a really good start to the year and is 32nd in the Fedex Cup including three top 10s. What attracts us this week is San Antonio form of T22-T5 and he’ll fancy this against a pretty weak field.
