Golf tips and free bets: Three picks for the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational and one for the Hero Open

0 20

THE St Jude Invitational WGC takes centre stage this week after the drama of the Olympics in Tokyo where Xander Schauffele won gold.

Schauffele is in the field this week alongside Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas are also in attendance in what is a high class line up.

In Europe the Hero Open takes place at Fairmont St Andrews.

Tips for St Jude Invitational

Hot shot: Daniel Berger, 22-1

It is a surprise to see Brooks Koepka installed as clear favourite for this – even though he has finished first and second in the last two years – as the world No 6 seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to get himself psyched up for non-Majors.

I’m also wary of the effects playing in Tokyo will have had on defending champion Justin Thomas and the rest of the Olympic field. But Berger, one of last year’s joint runners-up, should be cherry ripe for this.

He gave Thomas a five shot start in the opening round last year and only lost by three. If he comes out of the blocks a bit quicker this time, he should be right there at the finishing line again.

Mid price: Matthew Fitzptarick 33-1.

Fitzpatrick sidestepped the Olympics to concentrate on cementing his place in the Ryder Cup team – and to chase an elusive first PGA Tour win. This looks like a great opportunity to tick both boxes.

Fitzpatrick also shows up better in tough tests, where the winning score is not going to be 25 under par – Thomas was the only player to finish better than ten under last year and a share of sixth place last year confirmed his liking for the course.

The English golfer has clocked up six wins in Europe – two of them at the hotly-contested DP World Tour Championship – and needs to open his account in the States to make the next step up.

Long shot: Lucas Glover 125-1

The former US Open champion can be forgiven his missed cut at Royal St George’s last time out, as he only got into the Open line-up at the last minutes with his victory at the John Deere Classic.

That was Glover’s first PGA Tour win for ten years, but it was not completely out of the blue, with fourth place at the Texas Open and a top ten at the Charles Schwab Challenge suggesting it was too soon to write him off.

That John Deere win will have done wonders for his confidence, and he has the ideal temperament for a week when a willingness to grind it out will be all-important. He looks the best of those at three figure odds.

And one for the Hero Open

Nacho Elvira – 66/1

A Spanish golfer won last year’s event at Fairmont St Andrews – with Adrian Otaegui taking the AXA Scottish Championship – and Elvira could make it a ‘double double’, by following up his Cazoo Open win a couple of weeks ago.

Elvira looks over-priced. He played some tremendous golf at Celtic Manor, and followed up with rounds of 66-67 at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland, before fatigue kicked in.
