Live on Sky Sports 3: Thu 19:00 Angus Loughran previews this week’s US Masters. Live Scores |
Tiger Woods is 6/1 market leader at William Hill and Stan James to win seasons opening Major The Masters starting on Thursday at Augusta and I regard him as a good thing to win a 5th Green Jacket on Sunday night and advise you to bet accordingly.Woods has won at Torrey Pines, Doral and Bay Hill this year and is desperate to get back to winning ways in Majors and this looks an ideal chance his putting has been sensational in recent weeks and were he to drive the ball straight this week I would feel for the field he looks a. Great bet at 6/1 to me this week.
Rory Mcllroy (12/1 Betvictor) justified his late decision to play in Texas last week when finishing runner up to shock winner Martin Laird of Scotland who produced one of the rounds of the season with his closing 63 to not only win his 3rd PGA Tour event on merit but also secure his place in Masters where his chances are dismissed by Coral who offer 125/1.
With Lairds win in Texas and a 66/1 winner of National many punters are looking to outsiders who can give them a decent each way run this week Billy Haas at 80/1 (betvictor) is one of those chasing a first Major who has a better chance than those odds suggest.
Brandt Snedeker also appeals to me at 40/1 (Coral) he would be much shorter if not recovering from shoulder injury but as the current Fedex Cup Winner he is ready to become a major Champion when given his next chance.
The Americans have dominated the PGA Tour so far this season until Martin Lairds shock win on Sunday and Lee Westwood at 30/1 (Stan James) offers the best chance of a European Winner along with Justin Rose available at 20/1 (Stan James) Rose has more time on his side than Westwood and I expect a big week from both and Skybet offer a tempting 11/2 on Rose to lead after any day.
It promises to be a great week with Woods the man to beat
Good luck
