2013 WGC Cadillac Championship Betting Preview and Tips
2013 WGC Cadillac Championship Betting Preview and Tips
Justin Rose 19/1
Rose was our only money maker last week with a tied fourth at the Honda from 34/1. That brings his total to nine consecutive events in the top 24 with bests of second in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. His last win came here at Doral last year and with form coming in, is well worth a look.
Charl Schwartzel 17/1
Charl is one of the few bright lights in the Nike Oven at the moment with Rory and Tiger struggling. The South African added yet another top 10 last week at PGA National. Surely a win must be coming soon (although his formline is eerily like when he won the Masters in 2011). Still worth a bet this week having tied fourth here last year and second in 2010. With brother Attie working away on the European Tour, itâs all good in the Schwartzel household.
Luke Donald 23/1
With only one strokeplay start under his belt in 2013 (a T16 at Riviera), you could say Luke Donald is lightly raced. Or is he pacing himself for a crack at the big ones this year? Having tied sixth at the WGC Cadillac for the past two years, I really fancy Lukeâs chances at Doral. Winner of The Transitions in March last year, watch out for a big Luke push this and over the coming weeks.
Matt Kuchar 23/1
Rested after his WGC Matchplay win, Kuch is back this week boasting a fine record of three top-10âs on his last three visits to Doral. The best of those was a T3 in 2010, followed by fifth in 2011 and a T8 last year. In strokeplay Kuch has recorded early season top 10âs in the Hyundai and Sony Opens. Sure to have a say this week.
Nick Watney 36/1
The odds of 36/1 are great this week since the bookies donât fancy heâs a danger after a missed cut at Pebble Beach. Watney did however come fourth at the Farmers and with a 2011 win here and a second in 2009, I wouldnât discount a good performance.
Geoff Ogilvy 55/1
Is it just me or does Geoff look like Scott Bakula from Quantum leap? Back in form with a second last week at The Honda you have to think Ogilvy can continue to play well on a course where he tied third in 2007 and won in 2008. I wasnât at all surprised to find that six of Ogilvyâs seven Tour wins came between January and March with only the 2006 US Open coming outside that period in June. So if youâre going to have a flutter on Ogilvy, do it quick before the carriage turns back into a pumpkin at the end of the month.
Best Of The Rest
This is a course that Ernie Els 140/1 always seems comfortable on. He didnât play last year but won in 2010 here and tied 15th in 2011. Poor at the weekend at The Honda but worth a watch. Aussie John Senden 150/1 is also available at long odds this week after poor recent form. He has finish in the top 11 in each of the past two years however so keep an eye on his progress.
