Golf betting tips for The Sony Open (in more detail):
Eric Cole:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 28/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T35 – T3 – T2 – T3 – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – DNP – DNP – DNP – 61.
Reasons to believe – Eric Cole:
“I’m going to stick with Cole this week. He did great last week with a T14 finish, so he’s still in good form. He came in at T61 last year, but he’s improved a lot as a golfer since then, so I expect him to climb higher up the leaderboard and be in contention this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Ludvig Aberg:
To win outright (2 points win @ 14/1 with William Hill).
Current form (last 5 starts): T2 – T13 – T10 – 1 – T47.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): 1st start in this event.
Reasons to believe – Ludvig Aberg:
“Just like Cole I am sticking with Aberg once again this week. Although it wasn’t his top-performing week with a T47 finish, he did end the last day with an impressive -10 round. Hopefully, that round helped him shake off any rust and he’s all set to give his best this week!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Matt Fitzpatrick:
To win outright (2 points win @ 18/1 with William Hill).
Current form (last 5 starts): T18 – 1 – T27 – T4 – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): 1st start in this event.
Reasons to believe – Matt Fitzpatrick:
“Fitzpatrick, the highest ranked player attending this week, commands respect. He kicked off the year with a promising start, finishing T14. Not to mention, he closed last year with a top 5 finish and a victory in his last four events. Let’s hope his impressive streak carries on!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Tyrrell Hatton:
To win outright (2 points win @ 18/1 with William Hill).
Current form (last 5 starts): T16 – MC – T2 – T11 – T14.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): 1st start in this event.
Reasons to believe – Tyrrell Hatton:
“He had a good season last year with 2 top 20 finishes and a tie for 2nd place in his last 4 events. Although he finished T14 last week, his performance was a bit inconsistent. However, this week’s course is expected to be more suitable for him, so we can expect to see him climb up the leaderboard come Sunday afternoon.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Byeong Hun An:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 33/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T23 – T2 – T37 – 43 – T4.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – DNP – DNP – DNP – T12.
Reasons to believe – Byeong Hun An:
“An is coming off his best season on the PGA Tour, and starting this season with a T4 finish gives us hope for an even better season than last year. He placed T12 here last year, so he knows how to navigate this course well. Let’s hope he can maintain the same level of performance he had last week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
