Golf betting tips for The American Express (in more detail):
Eric Cole:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 30/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T3 – T2 – T3 – T14 – T13.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – DNP – DNP – DNP – T36.
Reasons to believe – Eric Cole:
“You won’t believe it, but I’m sticking with Cole as my top choice. Once again, he had a good week with a T13 finish. All he needs is to perform consistently well in all four rounds, without any average rounds in the middle. I’m sure his victory is just around the corner.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Min Woo Lee:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 28/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): 1 – T6 – T15 – 1 – 3.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): 1st start in this event.
Reasons to believe – Min Woo Lee:
“Min Woo Lee is making his first start as a member on the PGA Tour, which is an exciting milestone for him. Even though it’s his debut at this particular event, we shouldn’t underestimate his abilities. In his last five starts, his performances have been outstanding, with two wins, a top 5 finish, a top 10 finish, and a top 15 finish. Based on these impressive results, he definitely deserves to be on the shortlist of players to watch out for this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Sungjae Im:
To win outright (2 points win @ 18/1 with William Hill).
Current form (last 5 starts): 7 – T21 – T2 – T12 – T5.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T12 – T10 – T12 – T11 – T18.
Reasons to believe – Sungjae Im:
“Im absolutely adore it here! This course is simply tailor-made for Im’s game, and would you believe it, his worst finish in the last 5 times he’s played here was T18! Not to mention, he’s in incredible form with 3 top 10 finishes in his last 5 events, along with a T21 and T12. So once again, he absolutely deserves to be on everyone’s shortlist this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
JT Poston:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 28/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T22 – T3 – T44 – T5 – 6.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T7 – T37 – MC – T25 – T6.
Reasons to believe – JT Poston:
“Poston is off to an impressive start this season, achieving excellent results with a T5 and T6 finish in the past two weeks. As a result, he has reached his career best ranking of 37 in the world. Additionally, he has demonstrated his skills at this particular event with a T7 and T6 finish over the last five years. With his recent success, he will undoubtedly be looking to build on this and go one step further this week.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Andrew Putnam:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 50/1 with William Hill – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): MC – MC – T5 – T40 – T10.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): T34 – T10 – T21 – T14 – T36.
Reasons to believe – Andrew Putnam:
“There’s another player who really knows how to navigate this place. You’ll be impressed to know that he has made the cut in the last 7 events here! What’s more, he ended up in the top 10 last week and managed a top 5 finish just before Christmas. He’s definitely worth considering as the dark horse for this week’s big price bet!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
