2014 FedEx St. Jude Classic Betting Tips, Predictions and Power Rankings

2014 Fed Ex St. Jude Classic Betting Preview and Tips
TPC Southwind, Memphis Tennessee.

Doc's Top 5 To Watch

Ryan Palmer 25/1


Rested after his T5 at Colonial, Palmer returns for another tilt at TPC Southwind, a course which has been good to him over the past couple of seasons. T3 when Dustin Johnson won in 2012 and fourth on his own last season when Harris English won.  Came close to a win with a T2 at The Honda in March and had a good week in Houston in April.

Lee Westwood 25/1


On paper this course should play right into Lee’s hands with its premium on being long and accurate off the tee while giving a little back when it comes to greenside difficulty. And so it proved when he won here in 2010 edging Robert Garrigus and Robert Karlsson in a playoff.  Westie is coming in with good form too, a solo 7th at Augusta was followed by a win in Malaysia and T35 at the BMW PGA in Wentworth.  Should also be gaming his winning Ping G10 off the tee this week.


Luke Guthrie 70/1


For no other reason than Luke started The Memorial with a 75 but found something from somewhere to not only make the cut but card rounds of 69, 66 and 70 for a T8 finish.  I’m a sucker for guys who find the secret and I know he’ll be itching to get back in action this week.  Made the cut here last year.

Camilo Villegas 90/1


A T37 at Muirfield Village represented a first made cut in five starts for the spider man and comes just in time for the St. Jude where he has played solidly in the past. A T8 in 2010 was followed by his recent best of T3 in 2011 and a T10 last year.  Should be around 8/1 “to finish in the top 10” with the bookies and that’s a bet that might be worth considering.

Long Odds Glory


Freddie Jacobson is available at around the 100/1 mark on the exchanges and is a Southwind veteran with five top 20’s from 12 starts.  Tied third at Colonial a couple of weeks back.

Padraig Harrington at 120/1 is still struggling to make it back to the top, and without a US Open start will be grinding hard here.  Recent best of T4 in 2008, T13 in 2012 and T10 in 2013 which is pretty impressive on this 7,239 yard par 70.

Victor Dubuisson 40/1 Update Withdrawn


Made his first appearance since The Masters at the Nordea Masters and made it all the way to the playoff, only losing to Thongchai Jaidee’s birdie.  The Frenchman finished with a clip of 34th in driving accuracy, first in distance and sixth in greens in regulation; all of which if reproduced in Memphis will reap big rewards on the most difficult par 70 on the Tour’s roster.

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
