We’re counting down to the final golf Major of the year - the PGA Championship - where several players are heading to Oakland Hills in great confidence.
And with totesport unveiling what surely has to be the greatest array of markets for a Major ever seen there’s a decent helping of cracking bets to be unearthed.
One of the 72 hole match bets sees Darren Clarke, who performed so well at last week’s WGC Invitational, go up against Davis Love.
Clarke has superb memories of Oakland Hills having forged a formidable partnership with good mate Lee Westwood to fire Europe to Ryder Cup glory in 2004.
With the exception of the odd good round here and there, Love has looked a shadow of the player he once was and that makes in-form Irishman Clarke a great punt at 9/10.
The rough is reported to be very severe this week and that will place a huge importance on hitting fairways from the tee. If you are as wayward as Freddie Jacobson can often be then you’re in for a testing time.
The Swedish player is up against neat and tidy Graeme McDowell who has experienced a wonderful summer with the Loch Lomond Invitational trophy on his mantlepiece. Back “G Mac” at 9/10.
Not many move the ball better from tee-to-green than Robert Allenby and at 9/10 he looks value to see off compatriot Stuart Appleby. Apples brought home the each-way bacon at 66/1 for readers of this blog last week at Firestone but his blunderbuss-like approach from the tee will be punished round here.
