ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “I think the course could suit, given his great approach play and touch around the greens. 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”.

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”.
