Frys.com Open golf betting tips advised bets
Hideki Matsuyama – 17/1 at Coral. He enjoyed a strong season, finishing fifth at the Masters and also recording another eight top 10s. In his last four stroke play events, he’s finished T13, T25, T7 and T12. A good week could be on the cards.
Charl Schwartzel – 40/1 at Ladbrokes. The South African secured a T3 finish at the Wyndham Championship when the pressure was on to qualify for the FedEx Cup play-offs. He’ll be expected to be a high finisher this week, so performing well under pressure might suit him.
Chris Kirk – 40/1 at Unibet. Gunning for his third year on Tour in which he’s won at least once, Kirk could secure that win early this season Given the field is without some big names, the American could have a strong tournament.
Johnson Wagner – 125/1 at Totesport. Wagner lost in a play-off at the Shell Houston Open in April and enjoyed two other top 10s last season. An outside bet certainly, but one with recent experience of climbing leaderboards to record a high finish.
