With no course form to go on this week’s Barclays tournament at Ridgewood Country Club provides punters with a real conundrum.
But after successfully tipping Padraig Harrington for consecutive Majors at The Open and the USPGA we feel confident we can eke out another winner.
Designed by AW Tillinghast in 1929 the New York course is tree lined, is framed by penal rough and has small greens that will be tough to find.
With that in mind only the purest ball strikers make it into this week’s punting portfolio.
First up is Jim Furyk who has yet to win this season but has managed to trouser a colossal $2.5 million in prize money. Totesport have a massive array of golf odds.
Furyk’s heat seeking accuracy has seen him finish in the place positions on no less than five occasions this year and he may well have claimed the Open Championship had it not been for a shocking 77 on Saturday.
At odds of 28/1 he looks an each-way steal on course that really suits. The sports betting you’ll be able to do with those odds might not be that difficult.
At much bigger odds we feel Stephen Ames has the attributes to go well on the par 71 lay out. Ames’s best effort this season arguably came at Royal Birkdale when finishing 7th but he has also recorded great finishes at the Players, Colonial and the Mercedes.
Like Furyk his shot-making ability will be a real advantage on a course that most of the field will be playing for the first time in a competitive capacity. Have an each-way nibble at 100/1.
