Held at TPC Scottsdale, The Phoenix Open will have the usual huge crowds and boisterous atmosphere. A 7216 yard par 71 with three par fives, the course has an exciting finish with the 16th a tough par three, the 17th a driveable par four and the very difficult par four 18th. The rough is relatively light and the greens are of a generous size. Kevin Stadler held off Bubba Watson for victory last year but will not defend owing to a fractured wrist.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Ryan Palmer | 2pt each way 33-1 | PaddyPower TOP SEVEN |
Finishing position: T24 Back Ryan Palmer Again |
Ryan’s a quality player who has rewarded us in the past. He’s playing some good stuff and is a good fit for Scottsdale. He’s had a T5 and T2 in the last three years here and win number four is probably not far away. | |||
Kevin Na | 2pt each way 30-1 | PaddyPower TOP SEVEN |
Finishing position: T24 Back Kevin Na Again |
Kevin is a quality player who we believe will win in 2016. He had a few near misses last year and returned us a couple of place wins. He’s got a good record at TPC Scottsdale with four top 5s in ten starts with only one missed cut. He can be a factor this week. | |||
Brendan Steele | 2pt each way 45-1 | PaddyPower TOP SEVEN |
Finishing position: T17 Back Brendan Steele Again |
Brendon seems to be steadily improving year on year and looks like a win is possible in 2016. If it does occur then Phoenix could be the venue. He’s had T5-T5-T6 in the last four years and there is every chance he can continue that good streak this week. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:00 on 02/02/2016. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
