3 Guys I think may pay to follow this week -:
Davis Love III....agree with Stanley that he could be up for this. A solid 10th in Hawaii followed by a 33rd in Phoenix (spoiled by a poor 3rd round) was improved on in some style at Pebble Beach. It was an amazing effort to come from 7 off the lead in the final round of the AT&T to win with an amazing 63 and it could have been even better. With a previous win in this event he could be the value alternative to Tiger with doubts about Mickelson and at 16/1 with Surrey, who pay down to 5 places, he is the smart play IMO.
David Toms....challenged for the Mercedes before a double-bogey put him out of contention but still a good effort to secure 8th place. His 9th at Phoenix continued the good run but he was a little distracted I feel when 27th last week. His solid iron play and accuracy will stand him in good stead this week and 40/1 with Blue Square is appealing.
Shigeki Maruyama...haven't seen a previous year's runner-up start at 80/1 for a while and it's not as if he has been in bad form. He started off with a close 5th to Stricker in Australia in the Accerture Matchplay, was a good 22nd in Hawaii which included a hole-in-one during his round and was 19th in the Phoenix. He will be up for this and is a class act on his day. 80/1 with bet247 (5 places) is just too big.
