[Shame About Ray]

Although the rest of the field couldn’t contend with Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open, the good news is that no one else will have to for the rest of the season. He’s out with stress fracture in his knee, which will end his golf season. That takes the pressure off of a lot of golfers who will try to step up and win and a lot of sports betting and golf wagering faithful looking to pad their bankroll gambling on golf.




Hunter Mahan 20-1

Hunter Mahan was fairly inconspicuous until he was competing for first place at Torrey Pines last week at the U.S. Open. He was in the thick of things until the fourth round, where he tailed off and finished in a tie for 18th. Even so, that’s a good sign as he heads to arguably his best and favorite course. He is the reigning champ and finished second here the year before. He is the (somewhat) favorite and 20-1 is good value for that.

Carl Pettersson 22-1

Carl Pettersson finished in a tie for 15th in 2007 at this tournament, which is decent, but this pick is mostly based on his performance last week. He finished in a tie for sixth after posting a round of 68 on the final day at Torrey Pines, which marked his third top-10 in the last six tournaments.

Heath Slocum 22-1

Can I interest you in Heath Slocum, who has been playing pretty well of late? He’s made 12 straight cuts and finished strong last week with a 65 in the final round en route to a ninth-place tie at the U.S. Open. He hasn’t missed a cut at this tournament but he also hasn’t finished higher than 18th. Maybe this weekend he breaks out.

Chad Campbell 35-1

Chad Campbell was one of the guys that Pettersson tied with at 15th in 2007 but that was only his first try on this course. I was somewhat encouraged by his performance last week at the U.S. Open. His 18th place finish was strong and might carry over into this week. He’s finished 21st or better in five of the last six tournaments that he’s made the cut. Unfortunately, he’s been cut in five of his last eight tournaments.

Woody Austin 45-1

As mentioned, this is one of the Tour’s shorter courses, which should put Woody Austin in the mix. One of his two career wins came at this tournament in 2006. Austin is 17th in greens in regulation, which should make him standout on this court. He’s come down a bit from 50-1 but 45-1 is still a good price tag.

Nathan Green 50-1

Distance isn’t exactly a factor in this tournament but putting is. Nathan Green leads the tour in putting, which means that if he can get on the dance floor in a reasonable amount of strokes, he’ll be dancing with the pretty girls. Awful analogies aside, he did finish fourth here two years ago.
