MY PREFERRED 🤞:
Yes the Englishman we have also tipped a few times and he had the long drives etc so I did consider him in early markets but thought I would go for better priced players IMO.
NOW I left out the man in the middle in ALEX SMALLEY he sits @ -15 being -1 above AARON RAI so why exclude him?
SMALLEY stats are good this week but if you recall I had him in my selections only afew events & he slumped, he too is a NON winner on the PGA and sure he does play well but I try and remain NON BIAS but I try not to back players who crumble late, we have been burned by afew over the years who IMO should just win.
That final day pressure is so bizarre, not only the young ones but remember Rickie Fowler? how the frick he did not win that time?
Anyway the Englishman here owes us nothing but this week in the 3 rounds to date he sits @-
SG Off Tea x 10th (2.917 strokes gained) SG Approach to Green x 3rd (6.316 strokes gained)
Now he is south 30th around the greens which is problematic but he is T3 for driving accuracy so if he can get as close as he has over the last 3 days that 6 strokes gained around the Approach to Greens may pay dividends.
WE JUST NEED HIS PUTTER to be hotter than usual.
Of course he is still a massive 6 shots off the young SAR but much can happen in this game & I have been on & seen players win from 7 to 8 off on the final Day, it all comes down to what the leaders do & if the chasers are on song.
RAI went only a -3 yesterday but was clean everywhere else & on Day 2 a very good -7 with an Eagle on 7, On day 1 he went a -5 but a Bogey on 3 was his only error from 54 holes.
Rai seems to be perculating well for his final day 4 assault.
Sure he has to give 4 players above him the start but I have a general rule when it comes to Day 4 & that is take off the leader and the target is the 2nd player.
STATS do rule when it comes to Golf & the example when DETRY won he too was perculating well, the difference he had a nice few shots up his sleeve.
I just think the odds are worthwhile, I had $150 on @ $42 on Betfair, you can get NOW $44 probably soon more, that is it for me though, both are good enough it all depends on what the young SAR does 1st 9.
