Golf betting tips for The Byron Nelson
 (in more detail):
Tom Kim:
  • Each-way (1.5 points e/w @ 16/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

  • Current form (last 5 starts): T51 – T31 – T16 – MC – T23.

  • Tournament form (only 1 previous start): T17.

Reasons to believe – Tom Kim:

“Kim burst onto the scene with a string of top 10 finishes last year but has not had a top 15 finish since January. Things have been improving lately though. He is hitting the ball further now and he registered a T17 here last year, in his only previous start at this event. I am hoping it all comes together this week and he is in the hunt come Sunday afternoon.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.


Tyrrell Hatton: 
  • To win outright (2 points win @ 12/1).

  • Current form (last 5 starts): T59 – MC – T34 – T19 – T3.

  • Tournament form (last 4 starts): Not played the event before. 

Reasons to believe – Tyrrell Hatton:

“I don’t really like picking players who don’t have course form, but in the case of Tyrrell Hatton I am willing to make an exception. On paper, his game should be well-suited to the course. His current form has been improving week on week, with a T3 finish last week, so I believe he will be in the mix again this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.


Kyoung-Hoon Lee:
  • Each-way (1.5 points e/w @ 22/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

  • Current form (last 5 starts): T19 – T59 – T23 – T41 – T8.

  • Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – WD – 1 – 1. 

Reasons to believe – Kyoung-Hoon Lee:

“I will keep it simple with this one, Lee has won this event for the last 2 years and having found some form last week with a T8 finish, he simply has to be on the shortlist this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.


Tom Hoge:
  • Each-way (1 point e/w @ 45/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

  • Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T3 – T59 – MC – MC.

  • Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – T67 – MC – T17. 

Reasons to believe – Tom Hoge:

“A player who should suit the course set-up here. His current form is a bit up and down. He finished T3 a few weeks ago, but has then missed two consecutive cuts since. He did however finish T17 here last year and can be a scoring machine on his day, so fingers crossed the last couple of weeks were just a minor blip. It’s certainly a more speculative selection, but I am confident he will find form this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.


Big Dal’s, big price outsider
– Christiaan Bezuidenhout
:
  • Each-way (1 point e/w @ 60/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

  • Current form (last 5 starts): T13 – T59 – T28 – T19 – MC.

  • Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – DNP – DNP – T12. 

Reasons to believe – Christiaan Bezuidenhout:

“This is a player I have been keeping an eye on for a while now. He has had a great career to date on the DP World Tour and has been steady so far since making the switch to the PGA Tour. Recent form has been pretty consistent, with 2 x top 20 finishes. He did miss the cut last week on the Asian Tour, but I am willing to look past that. He finished T12 here last year in his only previous start, which is another encouraging sign. I am hoping this is the week he makes a name for himself on the PGA Tour. ” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
