Outright plays (2pts):
Tom Kite to win 12/1 e.w. @ Stan James and BetInternet
Certainly the form player on the Tour until the last event. He had had five top-4 finishes in a row, including a win at the 3M Championship. he short game rather let him down at the Kroger Senior Classic, but any return to his previous form should return at least a place win. Plus he does have a good record on this course: he finished 2nd last year after finishing with a final round 61!
Doug Tewell to win 18/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
The last two selections are retained from the Kroger Classic and after they had both held the lead and were 1st and 3rd with one round to play, there is little reason to drop them now. Tewell lost the overnight lead, but at least he finished 2nd, having finished 1st, 9th and 4th in his previous three events. So with top-4 finishes in two of three visits to Prestonwood, this should be another good week for Tewell.
Gary McCord to finish in the top-four 12.5/1 @ Centrebet
McCord was never going to be available at 100/1 after his efforts in the Kroger Classic, but conversely after his efforts in that event, it would appear prudent to back him at place-only odds. He hasn't won for five years and with a repeat of his final round stone-cold putter, he will not win again. However, in good form and having finished 2nd on this course in 2001, he could certainly push for a place win instead.
