His putting is not as good as it once was, but a great Presidents Cup performance, where he won all 5 of his matches should give him a massive confidence boost”.

Rickie Fowler:

• ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “I have been keeping an eye on Rickie to see if and when we might see the old Rickie Fowler back and recent signs have been positive. He was T2 last week and with a T3 in this event last year, this could be the week it all comes together”.

Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Seamus Power:

• ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “The form on paper doesn’t look great, but he has still been recording some good rounds. He is now in the top 50 in the world and useful with the putter in the hand. He spent most of last season in the top 30 in the FedEx, so can’t be ruled out to get a place at a big price”.
