Outrights:
Pat Perez(40/1) e.w.
- - Waialae much better fit IMO than Kapalua, but I much prefer the 80/1 in a small field last week.
Zach Johnson(50/1) e.w.
- - I know he loves Hawaii (who doesn?t?), needs to arrive with some focus on big goals off of last season.
Stewart Cink(125/1) e.w.
Chad Campbell(200/1) e.w.
- - Like Colonial, Harbour Town, etc., for valedictory efforts.
Zac Blair(125/1) e.w.
- - I loved his challenge last year and had him tabbed for strong consideration, although I didn?t remember he was right there in 2015, also.
Jimmy Walker(20/1) e.w.
- - I need another play based on what I saw last week. Seems a decent spot for buttoning up his putting, as he needs to do.
Cameron Smith(125/1) e.w.
Seamus Power(250/1) e.w.
- - I've had some success in this event, although none I can recall recently, still tooooo many plays, whether this early in the season or anytime, but looking for some long-term profitability by researching, pulling the trigger, and then keeping an eye on the new and the returning crop of talent.
Charles Howell III(45/1) e.w.
- - I sort of wonder how many times anyone outside the Top Ten in the World Rankings has had course form that is comparable to CHIII at Waialae.
Colt Knost(300/1) e.w.
- - Showed a spark than didn?t ignite last year, needs an improved short game, here and everywhere.
Harold Varner III(80/1) e.w.
- - Another play? Crash and burn.
