2013 Travelers Championship Betting Preview, Tips and Predictions

also check out my BMW International betting tips here.

Hunter Mahan 14/1

TravelersChampionshipLogo-jpgIrresistible pick for this week. Hunter has improved his finish in his last three events culminating in a tied fourth at the US Open. Winner in 2007, Mahan has three top 11’s since and finished last year with a 61. Driving the ball arrow straight and putting beautifully, it seems a no brainer. If there’s anyone that’s won more money around this track I’d like to meet him. But will he be wearing aqua?!

John Rollins 33/1

Hasn’t won since the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2009 but John Rollins has really impressed me of late. He bounced back from a MC at The Players with a top 25 at the Byron Nelson, then tied fourth at Colonial and tied sixth at the St Jude Classic last time out. Rollins also has a good record here of late with a tied 2nd in 2011 and tied fourth last year. I think he’s targeted this week for a big finish.

Ryan Moore 40/1

Streaky Ryan ties sixth at the Wells Fargo, then misses two cuts, ties 13th at Memorial then misses the US Open cut. So will he play well this week. I’m saying yes. I’m guessing yes. Since 2009 Ryan has tied 4th in 2009, tied 13th in 2010 and tied 2nd in 2011. Didn’t feature last season, but like I said, he’s streaky. Take an Indiana Jones like leap of faith each way.

Bubba Watson 22/1

TPC River Highlands is tailor made for Bubba, he always seems to be in the mix here. Actually beat Corey Pavin in a clash-of-styles playoff here in 2010 and tied second last year behind Marc Leishman. Several other close shaves make up four top 15’s in the last five years. Expect him to rip up the 6850 yard par 70 which ranks perennially as one of the easiest tracks on Tour.

Best Of The Rest

Kevin Streelman 60/1

Streelman didn’t enjoy his last two outings, missing cuts at the difficult Memorial and the US Open. However prior to that he notched up three top sixes including a tied third at Hilton Head and a tied second at The Players. The Wilson staffer tied 10th in 2008 and tied 6th in 2011. Great odds for a player who should enjoy this course.

Charley Hoffman 50/1

Four top 10’s this season and that shock of blonde hair seems to be cropping up on our screens a lot this days. The Hoff returns this year looking for some justice from River Highlands, his double bogey on the last handed Marc Leishman the win.

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 t...

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 M...
