The final regular tournament produced yet another ‘shock’ winner in the
shape of pre-tournament 80/1 shot Bart Bryant, who repelled 13/5 favourite
Tiger Woods. With relatively unfancied Heath Slocum (50/1) winning last
week’s Southern Farm Bureau Classic, it has been a fall finish to forget for
US Tour bettors. At least we’re assured of a relatively short priced winner
of this week’s Franklin Templeton Shootout, a 12 two-man team competition,
as the outsider pairing is no bigger than 20/1. We may be attempting to buck
the trend here, but the advice is to go with tournament favourite Fred
Couples and Adam Scott at 9/2. Following old ‘Boom Boom’ in this event over
the years (whoever he’s paired with) has been profitable. The former
three-time winner can also boast seven of the 15 tournament records, and
he’ll be glad to be back in Southwest Florida this week.
Tiger is in action over in China this week for the HSBC Champions
Tournament, chasing big bucks (and appearance money), but don’t worry if you
didn’t manage to get on before the start, as we’ve got live betting via our
‘In-Play Console’ right up to the final putt (more or less) on Sunday.
