ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “It’s been a steady start to the season for Keith Mitchell. Prior to last week’s 9th place finish, he had made the cut in 3 of 4 starts, but without really challenging the top of the leaderboard. His game suits this course, so hopefully he can build on last week’s form and push for victory”.
Denny McCarthy:

Current form (last 5 starts): T39 – MC – T37 – T6 – T53.

ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “A player I have been backing quite frequently this season, but without much luck so far. He has been playing well, just without taking the final step. With a T10 finish last week and with 2 x top 10 finishes here in the last 3 years, he is worth another punt this week.”
Tom Hoge:

ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “Started the season on fire with 4 consecutive top 15 finishes, but then missed the cut last time out. After a week off, he is hopefully rested, re-charged and ready to rediscover that recent good form. He was also T4 here last year, which further reinforces his chances this week”.
Seamus Power:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 22/1 with Betfair – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T30 – MC – T49 – 1 – T3.

PGA Tour season stats (’21/’22) – Greens in regulation (Ranked 27th).
ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “Having a great start to the season and currently sits top of the FedEx rankings. Power has finished 1st and T3 in his last two outings, so bang in form. Although his record here isn’t great over the last five years (only made the cut once), he did finish T4 last year, which gives reason to believe”.
Mackenzie Hughes:
Each-way (0.5 point e/w @ 30/1 with Sky Bet – 8 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T58 – T25 – 1 – T23 – T16.

ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “Not as many ‘reasons to believe’ stats as the other selections in terms of indications that he could win this week, but he is having a great season so far, including one win and 2 x top 25 finishes. He was 2nd here last year and winner in 2016″.

Each-way (0.5 point e/w @ 200/1 with Betfair – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win – “The Ryder Cup Captain has an unbelievable record here with 5 out of 5 cuts made and 3 x top 10 finishes in the last 5 outings. Hopefully he can put himself in contention come Sunday afternoon, at what looks to be a massive price”.
