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. Hideki Matsuyama won in 2016.
Name | Odds | Bookmaker | |
---|---|---|---|
Zach Johnson | 2pt each way 50-1 | BetVictor |
Finishing position: T12 Back Zach Johnson Again |
Zach is a neat and tidy Major winner who has a great short game. That comes in very handy at TPC Scottsdale. He’s quietly put together a decent Phoenix record with T10 and T12 in his last two starts. He’s well capable of contending this week. | |||
Kevin Na | 2pt each way 100-1 | SportingBet |
Finishing position: T16 Back Kevin Na Again |
Kevin is a quality player who we believe will win in 2017. 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 eleven starts with only one missed cut. He can be a factor this week. | |||
Brendan Steele | 2pt each way 40-1 | Bet365 |
Finishing position: T16 Back Brendan Steele Again |
Brendon seems to be steadily improving year on year and looks like another win is possible in 2017. If it does occur then Phoenix could be the venue. He’s had T5-T5-T6 in the last five years and there is every chance he can continue that good streak this week. |
All quoted odds correct as of 16:00 on 30/01/2017. These are obviously subject to fluctuation.
