PGA
Serious favorites are a risk this week in Mexico. Fleetwood, Thomas, Phil, Jordan and DJ, in that order, rank at the top for this Tourney. I bet Fleetwood and covered Phil. There are other hot trending players like Cantlay, Schaufelle and Fritelli I'm going big on. My personal bets on those are double what I listed on the bank bets (have to stay close to the budget).
Ross Fisher took 3rd here last year and has been trending to break thru. Reavie and Peters rank high this week and I'm staying on Finau to break thru.
Driving accuracy with be at a premium this week and spotty greens will play a part in the outcome, So hitting Fairways, GIR, and making 2 puts will be a winning recipe. Hopefully that will foil Phil. I like Cantlay and Schauffele for those reasons. Reavie ranks high for driving accuracy and due to break thru.
EURO
I cut my teeth on The Twasne Open when I first started capping golf. There are several hot players on the Euro and Asian tour in the mix Like Bjork, Norris and Hebert, and several South Africans I had to cover based on history like Fichardt, Aiken and Trevor Fisher Jr.
Tjaart Van Der Walt has a good history here @100-1.
Other RSA locals like
George Coetzee are at the top of the stats this week with top 10s coming in and a good history here. Justin Walters is second behind Coetzee on that list.

Had to cover Some Heavy Favorites. There were also a lot of contenders at huge odds.
The Honda Classic (FL)
Ricky and Justin Thomas look real good here but pricey at 10 -1. You could make an argument for putting it all on those 2. However, the heavy favorite does not always show up. I like a European to at least compete here. Several have good history here, no jet lag from West to East Coast and plenty of time to practice while most American players were getting beat up on a brutal Riviera course. Tiger would took 2nd here in 2012.
QATAR MASTERS
Benjamin Hebert Ranks highest here and I'm staying on Bjork. But Heavy Favorites like Sullivan, Wood and Olesen are must covers. Khongwatmai is due at 80-1. His putting stroke is suspect and he has not shown up on the bigger stage, but we'll stay on him a while longer.

BUBBA WATSON - ANOTHER WINNER!
We saw Bubba trending and cashed in. Our other Picks Patrick Cantlay and Cam Smith came in 2nd and 3rd. We were all over the first page on Sunday.

RIVIERA
Betting this tournament is kind of a lottery. Great shots can bounce right off turtle-back greens with shaved rough around the green. In addition trees and deep bunkers will penalize missed fairways and greens. Having said that - there are some great players at great odds. I spread the bets around a little this week for that reason and included some long hitters like Watson and Holmes. With precision at a premium - I like Xander Schauffele a lot who can throw darts and is also long. Also staying on Cantlay. Reavie has back to back runner ups. Spieth has been crippled by his putting lately - missing everything inside 10 feet.
Tiger is back and worth a cover at 40-1. He does not have the same record of success here as he does at last weeks Pebble Beach. He does have 2 Top 10s in 03 and 04m but has not played here on tour since 2007.
OMAN
I have some good Intel here. Sharma may be the hottest player in Asia with 3 top 10s and 2 wins - worth a cover. Chawrasia has a similar MO. Herbert is trending very hot and due for a win. Bjork is my Top Pick here with good recent and history at the event. Staying on Khongwatmai at 100-1 to break thru after a ton of top 10s. Also Haydn Porteous after some good showings and near wins. Dantorp is a great dark horse with 3 straight top 10s here.

ATT PEBBLE BEACH
Lotta Solid favorites. Spieth has been missing short puts - But - Has 3 To 10s without a win and has a win and a 4th in the last 3 here. He has been more dependable than a mutual fund in the past . Picked him to find a way to win out of the other favorites this week.
Also Several young guns Top 10'd here last year at great odds Like Kelly Kraft and Nick Taylor. Some great vets with good history here too at a good price.
ISPS SUPER 6 PERTH
This one has a strange format - you can win and still have to play one more round. So not spending much - But - some great longshots with great history at this course.

INEXCUSABLE!
My Bad! I literally missed Sharma on the bet sheets. Arguably the best player on the Asian Tour @ 50-1 on the Vegas bet sheets. I'm kicking myself hard right now. We won with him once already. Yes, he shot 10 under and came from nowhere on Sunday to win by 2 shots - But - should have been our top pick going in - $10 paid $500 and puts the bank way up!. 6 of our picks finished first page - but no cigar. Sorry.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
It became a disappointing put missing contest in the end - we had a lotta guys on first page but it became a two man race on the back 9 Sunday. Snooze. This year the Superbowl was more entertaining. Reavie did make it interesting tho with a birdie, birdie finish. Props to him for that.
