Outright plays (2 units):
Craig Stadler to win 12/1 e.w. @ William Hill
No course experience as a Tour rookie and in a seemingly poor run of form, but these odds are too large for a player who heads the market at most books. There was obviously going to be a letdown after he first won a senior major and then won a PGA Tour event the following week. He did finish 10th last time out in the Tradition, the last senior major of the year, when he improved with every round, he has had a week's layoff and should be at single-figure odds for this event.
Morris Hatalsky to win 33/1 e.w. @ Stan James and William Hill
Hatalsky also hasn't played in either year that this event has been staged on this course, but this is still a large price for a player who has won this season already. Apparently, Stan James were offering 50/1 earlier in the day! This is too much for a player who also finished 5th in the Tradition two weeks ago against the strongest field on Tour and was also a runner-up in the 3M Championship last month.
Tom Jenkins to win 66/1 e.w. @ Stan James
This is also a very large price for a player who has won this season - the Bruno's Memorial Classic - and has finished in the top-10 in seven of fourteen events since that win, including last week. His course form is not good, but this is a weaker-than-average field and he has a much better chance than the Stan James' compiler gives him credit.
