2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open Betting Preview Tips and Predictions

also check out my 2014 Dubai Desert Classic Tips here

Graham DeLaet 33/1

graham delaet funny picThe form man in the field. Burst through with top 3 finishes in the Barclays and Deutsche Bank in the Playoffs and finished 2013 with a seventh at the CIMB and a sixth at the WGC HSBC Champions. The Canadian took up right where he left off with a T2 at The Farmers last week. With Scottsdale set to be set up 64-yards shorter than 2013 at 7,152 yards it throws the tournament wide open but nobody will start more confident than Graham.

 

Webb Simpson 16/1

WALTER.SIMPSONS.063012.JELFinished 2013 very strongly with his win at The Shriners along with two other top 10’s and hit the ground running with a T3 at the Hyundai Tournament Of Champions. The top 10 streak was broken with a T23 at The Humana which has to be taken with a pinch of salt given that Webb got it to -18 for the week. Simpson didn’t play here last year but finished T8 on both previous occasions he competed in 2012 and 2011. Priced about right at 16/1.

 

Ryan Moore 28/1

Loving Ryan’s new found consistency. I make it six top 25s in his last seven Tour starts dating back to the BMW Championship in September. That of course includes his CIMB win in October. T10 at the Hyundai TOC indicated he’s continuing the good form into 2014. Finished fourth last year, 14th in 2010 and T6 in 2009 on statistically the easiest course on the PGA Tour roster.

 

Gary Woodland 33/1

moore and woodlandBomber in form and one thing is for sure, bombers are not shut out in Phoenix. If JB Holmes and Kyle Stanley could muscle their way to victory around TPC Scottsdale then Woodland certainly has a great chance. Okay he may have dropped off the leaderboard to a T10 at Torrey Pines last week but that is still four top 25’s in his last five events. Since reinventing his swing with Butch, Gary has won the Reno Tahoe and finished second twice. A best here of T5 in 2011 when Mark Wilson beat him by three shots.

 

Ben Crane 80/1

ben craneThe bookies have gone right off Ben after his terrible Torrey tribulations last week but I’m saying not to let that put you off too much. To his credit Crane played all four rounds and battled back from an opening 76 to do so. There’s acres of space in TPC Scottsdale which is more likely to a birdiefest a la The Humana a couple of weeks ago where Crane scored a T9. Crane finished solo second to Kyle Stanley here in 2012 and was just outside the top 10 in 2013. Also had a T4 back in 2008. Don’t rule him out.

 

Best Of The Rest

Marc Leishman at 40/1 was very impressive last week in his T2 at Torrey Pines. The Aussie also scored a fifth at the Sony Open and should be on the leaderboard again this week. I always keep an eye on Martin Laird at 80/1 here also. He tied third in 2011.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
