Valero Texas Open Tips

Valero Texas Open - TPC San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas

23 March 2015 - 29 March 2015

Tip date: 23 March 2015

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. Stephen Bowditch was the shock winner in 2014.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Kiradech Aphibarnrat	1.5pt each way 100-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	Finishing position: MC Back Kiradech Aphibarnrat Again
Kiradech is a young, up and coming player who is fiercely ambitious to get going on the PGA Tour. He’s played some good stuff of late and had a great T6 last week at Bay Hill. He’s a proven winner and will be trying harder than most this week and at this kind of price is worth a small wager on popping up in the paying places.
Charley Hoffman	2pt each way 50-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	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 13-2-13-3-11 is pretty decent. He seems a rejuvenated figure after his Mayakoba win late last year and has publicly stated his liking for this event. We can see Hoffman going very close this week.
Jason Kokrak	2pt each way 45-1	PaddyPower TOP SIX	Finishing position: T11 Back Jason Kokrak Again
Jason is a steadily improving player who looks capable of posting his first win soon. He had a good run at Bay Hill without really firing in the last round. In fact, he’s returned T7-T6 in his last two starts. Dial in a T15 effort last time out at San Antonio and it’s easy to see how he could have another good week.
