This week we find ourselves in Akron, Ohio for the WGC Bridgestone, the latest World Golf Championship event. The tournament is held on the South Course at Firestone Country Club and is a par 70 of 7400 yards. The fairways are tree lined and keeping the ball in play is a significant advantage here. The solid ball-strikers tend to prosper. Shane Lowry won last year.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Patrick Reed | 2pt each way 35-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: 52 Back Patrick Reed Again |
Patrick’s playing some good stuff and looks well capable of a contending performance. He’s well up in the Fedex Cup and boasts a decent record at Firestone, managing T4 and T15 in his two attempts. A solid each way prospect. | |||
Jim Furyk | 2pt each way 33-1 | BetVictor |
Finishing position: T42 Back Jim Furyk Again |
Jim’s back from injury and looking in decent nick of late posting some decent finishes. He’s always at his best on par 70 set-ups. He’s got a very solid long term record at Firestone and looks a pretty good each way bet at this price. | |||
Kevin Na | 2pt each way 80-1 | BetFred |
Finishing position: T27 Back Kevin Na Again |
Kevin’s having another solid season and had a very nice finish at Oakmont in the US Open. He’s another one who thrives on par 70s and his Firestone form of 63-23-15 is trending very nicely in the right direction. Worth a nibble at this price. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:00 on 27/06/2016. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
