The PGA Tour moves to Maryland this week for the newly renamed Quicken Loans National. The event is held at Congressional Country Club and is a very long and tough par 71 of almost 7600. The course was been toughened up for the 2011 US Open. It is important to note that the 2010 and 2011 editions were held at a different course (Aronimink) and, due to course changes, form prior to this is of lesser value than normal. Also, last year’s event was held elsewhere so the last Congressional winner was Justin Rose in 2014. Troy Merritt was last year’s winner.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Jason Kokrak | 2pt each way 70-1 | BetVictor |
Finishing position: T29 Back Jason Kokrak Again |
Jason is a winner in waiting and looks a good bet this week. His langth will be an advantage and he’s had some good results this season. He’s only had one crack at Congressional and was T3 in 2013. He’ll be up for this one against a weak field. | |||
Charles Howell III | 2pt each way 70-1 | BetFred |
Finishing position: T57 Back Charles Howell III Again |
Charles really is Mr. Consistency on the PGA Tour and can pop up in the paying places almost anywhere. He’s got a decent Record at Congressional and his accurate hitting looks a good fit. He’s playing some really solid golf this season and looks well capable of posting a top five here. | |||
Bill Haas | 2pt each way 40-1 | Bet365 |
Returned 22pts for T3 place finish!
Back Bill Haas Again |
We think Bill represents good value against a weak field this week. He’s a class above most here and has notched some good Congressional results including a win in 2013. We think he’s well worth a nibble at this price. |
All quoted odds correct as of 17:00 on 20/06/2016. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
