Shell Houston Open Tips

Shell Houston Open - Golf Club of Houston (Tournament) , Humble, TX

03 April 2014 - 06 April 2014

Tip date: 31 March 2014

New name but the same venue. Redstone GC has been renamed Golf Club of Houston (Tournament) due to a change of ownership. It’s a 7457 yard par 72 with fast bent grass greens and it’s certainly a good warm up event for the US Masters. In fact many of the top players who really fancy a Green Jacket will be conscious of not peaking too soon. D.A. Points is the defending champion this week.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Jason Kokrak	2pt each way 50-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	Finishing position: MC Back Jason Kokrak Again
Jason is a steadily improving player who’s certainly moving towards a first win. He’s had a really solid season thus far with a number of high finishes including a 4th at the Arnold Palmer. His T9 here last year catches the eye and we’re happy to think he can challenge for victory No. 1 this week.
Charley Hoffman	2pt each way 66-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	Finishing position: T37 Back Charley Hoffman Again
We’re going for Charley again this week – he’s something of a Texas specialist. If it wasn’t for a mediocre 2nd round at the Valero he’d have been right in the mix. Houston form of 5/5 for cuts made with three top 25s and a T6 make him a good prospect at these odds.
Webb Simpson	2pt each way 40-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T61 Back Webb Simpson Again
Whenever Webb’s available at 40-1 in a regular tour event then he merits consideration. He’s already posted a win this season and is a genuinely world class player. He’s currently 9th in the Fedex Cup and was T16 last time out here in 2011. He’s a better player now and merits support at a tasty price.
