Golf Betting: The Buick Open

[valuefinder]

Top Pick Nick (Watney)
The PGA Tour heads back to America this week to the Buick Open at Warwick Hills where scoring is always low. Warwick hills is one of the easiest courses on the PGA golf tour and birdies will be in abundance. The Warwick hills course plays only 7127 yards long (par 72) and has a couple of driveable par 4's as well as big eagle chances on the par 5's. The greens are some of the best on tour and birdies and pin peppering at the Buick Open is the norm.

Big hitters don't necessarily have an advantage unless they can keep it straight as the Warwick hills course is a tree lined track, albeit with pretty generous fairways and fair rough. Premium at the Buick open will be on approach shot accuracy to the large and fabulous greens and Eagle/birdie making which brings me to my top golf pick this week - Big hitting Nick watney, who is 2nd in the Eagle making stats.

Note: I expect Woods to take this 1 down so will be backing the W/O Woods market.Jim Fuyrk will be the man they all have to beat in this market but he's well underpriced so I won't be backing him.

Buick Open Picks:
-1pts E/W Nick watney W/O woods @ 25/1 (general) Watney can over power this course if his recent good form continues

-1 pts E/W Brian Gay W/O Woods @ 22/1(general) Not many players with a better record at the Buick Open than Brian Gay. He thrives on short courses with slick rolling greens and is one of the best putters on tour. More birdies for Gay in store if recent form is anything to go by

-0.75pts E/W Chad Campbell W/O woods @55/1(general) In and out of form Chad Campbell was 15th at The John Deere Classic and enjoys this type of course - overpriced big time

-0.75pts E/W Andres Romero W/O Woods @ 55/1 (general) Powerful Argentinian is another right up there in the birdie/Eagle making department and could do a Nick Watney and also overpower the course if his form from the British open where he tied 13th continues

-1pt Daniel Chopra top 10 finish @ 13/2 (stanjames) has been there or there abouts the last few weeks after swing changes and makes an awful lot of birdies. Was wild off the tee here in 2007 yet still made more birdies than most, loves fast greens.
