Yet again totesport are first on the tee when it comes to golf betting and this week´s US Tour event - the Crowne Plaza Invitational - throws up some tasty outright prices.
The Colonial course in Fort Worth, Texas, is a venue that time and again rewards accuracy rather than power and that´s something to keep at the front of our punting minds when sifting through what looks a decent field that includes Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk.
Furyk gets our first selection at 14/1 on account of his brilliant second place here last year when he was touched off in a play-off by cocky South African Rory Sabbatini.
The ultra-reliable Pennsylvania man has finished in the money places three times this season and it would be no surprise to see one of the tour´s straightest hitters make that four here.
The former US Open winner took a week off after The Players´ Championship and will tee up as fresh as a daisy this week.
Second selection goes to classy iron player Jeff Quinney 66/1 who has already trousered $1.6 million in prize money in 2008 thanks to 2nd and 3rd at the Northern Trust Open and The Players´ Championship respectively.
Colonial is a course that Quinney showed some promise on last term with an opening round 65. Twelve months on and with his tour card now secured we expect to see the 2000 US Amateur Champion feature near the top of the leaderboard.
Our final pick is 50/1 Aussie Nathan Green. Green has played this course twice and finished in the money places on both occasions.
The 33-year-old hasn´t exactly set the heather alight in 2008 but a 3rd at the Honda Classic showed us that he is more than capable of really turning it on when it matters.
