Ain’t it great to be long and straight?
Top odds are 15:1 - Adam Scott, Padraig Harrington, and David Toms.
Great players all, but no Tiger, Phil, Vijay, Ernie not Retief doesn’t make the Shell Houston Open at the top of the weekend must watch list. But for the sports investors among us, there may be a couple strong longshots to play and also one matchup to watch.
KC and I both agree that defending champ Stuart Appleby is a great shot at 20:1 - no need to put a full weekend bankroll at risk this weekend, but put a unit or two here tops.
Longshots? Bomber Lucas Glover at 25:1 could be a fun spot, but I really like the Glove +110 over KJ Choi more. As we say in the podcast, KJ is just not a good fit for the Redstone.
Another matchup of interest is David Toms EVEN over Adam Scott (-120)…both are favorites, but interestingly Scott hasn’t played four consistent rounds in a row since the Mercedes Cup in Hawaii in January, and is 125th in putting and 163rd in scoring average. This deserves your attention as well. See this link on PGATour.com to compare your matchups.
UPDATE: Late WD - Pat Perez and Tom Pernice, Jr. Two guys that would have been nice longshots. Also Ben Crane.
