Weekly Golf Betting Preview – US PGA
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009The blog tipped up two each way steels last week in the shape of Tim Clark and Stephen Ames who both finished fifth at the Bob Hope Classic, at 25/1 and 40/1 respectively. We’ve picked out a few more big priced runners in this week’s FBR Open from Scottsdale Arizona.
Stephen Ames shot a final round 63 last weekend to shoot forty places in the leader-board and finish placed. He’s a 45/1 shot this week and probably worth another dabble at that price. The Canadians best form tends to come at the beginning of the season and as a succession of top ten finishes at the beginning of 2008 shows.
At slightly shorter odds, young Australian Aaron Baddeley is an interesting runner at 33/1 with totesport. Baddeley was a winner here two seasons ago and played well in Qatar last week, eventually tying twelfth in the desert. If he can handle the traveling he’s got an excellent chance to score low on a course we know he loves.
Another Aussie Stuart Appleby has claims in Arizona also. He’s without a win on tour for two seasons now but with a high ratio of cuts made and a good conversion to top 25 finishes he’s always worth a punt if he’s on a run or likes the course. In this instance, the tied fourth finish here last year suggests he likes the course and at 50/1 it looks a good value bet.
Finally, we have an 85/1 shot in the shape of Argentinian Angel Cabrera. Cabrera had a disappointing 2008 after a life changing 2007 season where he picked up five victories, including the US Open. He’s only played one tournament in 2009 where he finished a respectable 9th in the African Open so comes here fresh. Any kind of return to form and the 85/1 available will look very generous.
