Think I will take some of the TOP 6 @ 22/1 on offer for the big Argentine, Angel Cabrerra....his name alway seems to pop op on the leaderboard during the past couple of Majors. Only time will tell!!

Tiger has hit good form !!

tiger with bet exchange promo seems a decent bet, i will post my roughies in the morning

Tiger a good bet at 4/1. When he is in the form he showed last week keep backing him. I have also backed Keegan Bradley, Richard Sterne and Tim Clarke to win without Woods, a top 6 and a top 10 finish.

Tiber Woods @ 9/2 with BetXchange (including the3 pos promo)
Lee Westwood @ 33-1 and 66-10 (top 6)
Hunter Mahan @ 35-1 and 7-1 (top 6)
Richard Sterne @ 110-1 / 22-1(top 6) and 87/10 (top 10)


Hunter Mahan (top 4) American @ 5-1
Lee Westwood (top 4) GB&Ireland @ Evens
Hendrik Stenson top Scandinavian @ 11/10

I like a younger player, someone like Jason Day,maybe Branden Grace as best SA player

The last time the PGA Championship was played at Oak Hill it was won by Shaun Micheel with the likes of Tim Clarke, Fred Funk, Loren Roberts and Mike Wier finishing in the top 10. None of these golfers are big hitters but they find fairways and greens. You don't need to be massive hitter here so rather look for value with guys that have the better stats of driving accuracy than. Tim Clarke is 2nd in accuracy (lump on him (tu)) other notables are Stenson 6th, Furyk 8th and Zach Johnson 12th.

where do you get the time to bring up all these statistics sherk. Golf, rugby,football, cricket, racing plus the rest. It would not surprise me that you have employed somebody full time to supply you with all the stats and even more I think that he/she has a desk close to where your are and they supply you with all this info. The good thing is that you can still get on with your job plus you have given another person employmentX(

The bookies have finally tagged onto Hideki Matsuyama being a top player
After backing him ew to be top Asaian in the previous 2 majors and collecting at 7/1 and 13/2,he is now top priced 15/8 for that market..
That is too short and won't being seeing my money.......
Scott has an enviable record in recent major championships
The golfing world assembles for the final major championship of the year – the PGA Championship which is hosted at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York this year.
The Donald Ross design last played host to this very tournament in 2003 when rank outsider Shaun Micheel prevailed with a winning score of 4-under-par. Interestingly, there is definitely some substance in comparing this course to that of the US Open host venue this year – Merion Golf Club. Both are shortish, tight, winding tree-lined par-70s in the north-east of the United States after all.

Looking at another angle, Donald Ross courses have particular characteristics that suit some players more than others and it’s well worth looking at other tracks with which Ross has been involved such as Sedgefield Country Club (host of the annual Wyndham Championship on the PGA tour), East Lake (host of the final leg of the Fedex Cup) and particularly Aronimink which played host to the AT&T National in 2010-11. I say particularly Aronimink as it is a par-70 layout of a similar yardage to Oak Hill which is not too far away in Pennsylvania, but Sedgefield might be an even stronger link given that Shaun Micheel’s previous professional victory before his Oak Hill triumph came at the 1999 Greensboro Open (on the NIKE tour, now known as the web.com tour) which was hosted at Sedgefield.

In terms of performance stats, much like Merion I expect good drivers of the ball to prevail. Distance off the tee does not hold the same importance as it did at last year’s PGA Championship venue, Kiawah Island, but the ability to keep the ball in the fairway off the tee is likely to be vital. Names such as Tim Clark and Fred Funk towards the top of the 2003 leaderboard are as good evidence as one could need to rubber stamp this point.

Clearly a lot of the betting talk this week will focus around Tiger Woods and the world number 1 presents us with something of a betting conundrum this week in my mind. On one hand he comes off the back of a dominant display at Firestone, much like he did ahead of his 2007 PGA Championship triumph at Southern Hills. On the flip side, his 2003 PGA Championship appearance at Oak Hill resulted in a tie for 39th amidst a similarly strong run of form. It may prove to be a costly decision, but I am going to swerve the 14-time major championship winner and try to identify value further down the market.

Here are my 7 selections for this week:

Adam Scott – I was recently alerted to a very interesting major championship stat about Adam Scott – in the last 7 majors he has a cumulative score of +1, the next best being Tiger Woods at +17. Whilst I haven’t independently verified this, it’s entirely believable when time after time Adam Scott’s name turns up on major championship leaderboards. The aussie had a good chance to bag his second major title at Muirfield just a few weeks ago but faltered on the back-9 only to witness the genius of Mickelson down the stretch. Scott teed it up in the 2003 PGA Championship when it was last held here at Oak Hill, and his tie for 23rd in only his 6th major championship appearance is not to be sniffed at when you consider his two missed cuts coming into the event. This year, on the other hand, he comes to Oak Hill having finished 3rd and 14th in his last two events and I expect a strong performance here.

5pts each way (20/1 Paddy Power [6 places])

Webb Simpson – Looking to add a second major championship title to his CV this week, Webb Simpson ticks a lot of boxes here at a decent price. Simpson has some good Donald Ross form to his name being a previous winner at Sedgefield (in 2011) and having bagged a top-10 at Aronimink the same year. Although the 27-year-old’s form has been a little patchy of late, opening and closing rounds of 64 & 66 last week at Firestone suggest his game is in good enough shape for a strong week at Oak Hill. Simpson is a solid ball-striker who is very comfortable on and around the greens (at least whilst anchoring is still permitted!) and he currently ranks 14th on tour in Scoring Average.

1.5pts each way (66/1 Paddy Power [6 places])

Bill Haas – With five PGA tour wins to his name and a Fedex Cup trophy, it’s amazing that Bill Haas only has a single major championship top-15 to his name, a tie for 12th in the penultimate PGA Championship. With his superb ball-striking stats and solid short game, this must surely come down to what’s between the ears, but I’m prepared to give him a chance this week on a course which should suit. Haas has two top-10 finishes to his name at Sedgefield in recent years as well as his Tour Championship triumph at East Lake in 2011, so he certainly likes something about Donald Ross tracks, and with four top-10 finishes in his last six starts, the 31-year-old is clearly doing something right at the moment and is well-worth an each-way bet here.

1.5pts each way (66/1 Paddy Power [6 places])

Ryan Moore – Ryan Moore will probably be sick of reading about how his glittering amateur career hasn’t translated into mega-stardom since turning pro in 2005. With two PGA tour wins to his name, however, he’s not exactly dive-bombed and I fancy we might see his stock rise over the next few years as the pressure eases off. Moore’s best major championship finish came in this very event seven years ago at another shortish track that demands similar attributes, and everything about Oak Hill suggests the course should be right up his street. Moore’s maiden PGA tour title came at Sedgefield four years ago and he also has a runner-up finish to his name at Aronimink (in 2010). The 31-year-old is a great driver of the ball which should pay dividends here and although his form hasn’t been scintillating in the last couple of months, his first round 66 at Firestone last week suggests his game isn’t in terrible shape heading to Oak Hill.

1pt each way (125/1 Paddy Power [6 places])

Harris English – Having bagged his first PGA tour title at TPC Southwind back in June, Harris English has finally got the monkey off his back and looks very much the sort of player who could find himself in regular major championship contention over the next decade. English is a solid ball-striker who plays much of his best golf on ‘classic’ courses, and with top-15 finishes in each of his last three starts, there are many worse triple-figure shots out there this week. English notched a top-10 finish in last year’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield, and I expect Oak Hill to be a good fit for his game.

0.75pts each way (150/1 Betfred [7 places])

Richard Sterne – With Tim Clark having finished 3rd the last time Oak Hill played host to this championship, I fancy another diminutive South African to go well this week in the shape of Richard Sterne. Sterne doesn’t have all that much experience of competitive golf in the US which makes his top-10 finish at last week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational all the more impressive. Sterne ranked 5th in both Driving Accuracy and Greens in Regulation at Firestone which should be just the ticket at Oak Hill, and with six European Tour wins to his name, the 31-year-old clearly knows how to get over the line.

0.75pts each way (150/1 Coral [6 places])

John Merrick – Having picked up his first PGA tour title at this year’s Northern Trust Open, Merrick hasn’t really kicked on, but I’m encouraged by his tie for 6th in the recent Canadian Open followed by a top-20 last week in his WGC-Bridgestone debut which suggest his game is in solid shape at the moment. Merrick has some sneaky form at Donald Ross tracks having finished tied 10th in last year’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield as well as top-20 finishes in both the 2010 & 2011 AT&T National tournaments at Aronimink and he looks to be a very lively outsider at a huge price this week.
