Jared Du Toit 21
Steve Wheatcroft 38
Du Toit certainly has 'bouncebackability' - he recovered from a triple-bogey on Friday and a poor opening seven holes yesterday - and is now only one shot behind the leader; he will face a lot of pressure as the home player today, but he shown enough resilience this week to suggest that he should be priced lower than this
I would normally oppose a player who had just shot the low round of the day, but Wheatcroft was only returning to the top-10 where he had been after rd1 so it was a case of just one bad round on Friday and he is back to the form that has seen him finish 5th and 20th in the last two PGA Tour events; with Wheatcroft in this form, these odds look rather high for a player in 4th place and two shots off the lead

I was looking for some wagering opportunities over the weekend, but I felt my clearest thinking was directed toward some early looks at the P.G.A. Championship. I?ll eventually cut and paste this post to that thread.
For openers, I said in my Canadian Open post, ? . . . I had been lining up for a play on Sneds at the P.G.A., but I decided instead that this week was a better spot.? What I more precisely should have said was, ? . . . I decided instead that this week was as good a spot because of Snedeker?s propensity for reappearing at the same spots.?
Reed has all the trappings of being a danger, although yet to be really tested to the fullest extent.
Baltusrol is a big property that can definitely suit Holmes, and J.B. is in the midst of a season of note.

Snedeker has a pretty decent record when leading, but I don't expect a brilliant closing today under ideal conditions. Regardless, he'll be a play next week.
After that it?s ODDS and ENDS . . .
Not Grace, surprisingly; no Rose, either, but Kaymer looks like a go.
Grillo over Molinari or Woodland, but I?ll likely pass, Lingmerth may be a tougher decision.
Haas, not Stricker, all just opinions. No Sergio. Definitely no Zach.
Koepka too short. Maybe Henley at 200/1, or maybe Top American.
Justin Thomas FRL
Keegan Bradley FRL
DJ, of course, while Rory definitely seems closest to his best of The Big 3 (soon to be 4), which IMO is why his frustration was so evident at Troon, but a P.G.A. at Baltusrol is a much better fit.
Phil Mickelson(66/1) e.w.
Patrick Reed(50/1) e.w.
J.B. Holmes(80/1) e.w.
Brandt Snedeker(66/1) e.w.
Martin Kaymer(66/1) e.w.

- - I don?t see anybody being more focused than Phil on the quick transition from the Scottish links to a classic Tillinghast parkland, and Lefty and the New York environs have carried on a mutual love affair.
