The PGA Tour makes its regular stop in Tennessee this week at the Fedex St. Jude Classic in Memphis. This event is always played at the 7200 yard par 70 TPC at Southwind. As last year this is the final event before the US Open. The course certainly sets up for the more accurate hitters and water is a regular feature on many holes. The par 4 18th is a particularly tough finish. -12 is probably going to be around the winning figure. Harris English is the defending champ.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Brian Harman | 2pt each way 80-1 | PaddyPower TOP SIX |
Finishing position: MC Back Brian Harman Again |
Brian is a promising young player who posted his first victory at the John Deer Classic last year. He’s been a little quiet since but T8 at The Players and T10 at Colonial last month show he’s coming back. He had an eye catching T6 at Southwind in 2014 and that’s the green light for our each way punt this week. | |||
Boo Weekley | 2pt each way 60-1 | PaddyPower TOP SIX |
Finishing position: T8 Back Boo Weekley Again |
Boo is a bit of a streaky player who certainly knows how to win. He’s had a solid couple of months and prospers most on a ball striker’s course such as this. He’s made his last five Southwind cuts and was T4 back in 2008. He’s playing some of the best golf of his career and must fancy it this week against a weak field. | |||
Camillo Villegas | 2pt each way 100-1 | PaddyPower TOP SIX |
Finishing position: T18 Back Camillo Villegas Again |
Camilo is usually a rock solid tee to green player who struggles with the flat stick. He certainly has his favourite events and can find form quickly. He’s got a siolid Southwind record and has posted four top 11 finishes in his last five starts. At this price he’s a good outside bet for a top six finish. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:00 on 08/06/2015. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
