This week the PGA Tour heads to Vegas. It's early in the new season and the Hedgie likes to follow and focus on some of the young upcoming stars who have had recent success on the Korn Ferry or perhaps the PGA players who finished last yr on a high note but haven't tasted victory in awhile or even at all...
Unlike in the NFL or NCAA GOLF is much different when wagering...picking a WINNER is extremely hard and Hedgie does NOT like to chase the chalk. There are too many good players on tour in every field so paying up for a guy like Patrick Cantlay &-1 odds just isn't Hedgie's style.
Also, picking Winners is not like a 1-5 STAR rated system . 1 STAR is a real wager in Hedgie's book so picking winner's is often based on fractions of a star ....so for the Shriner's HERE WE GO:
TO WIN :
Cam Davis 47-1 .25 Star
Thomas Detry 75-1 .25 Star
FINSIH in TOP 10 :
Cam Davis +475 ( that's 4.75-1) .25 Star
Denny McCarthy +500 .25 Star
Kurt Kitayama +700 .25 Star
Rickie Fowler +650 .25 Star
FINISH TOP 20:
Denny McCarthy +230 .20 Star
Cam Davis +220 .20 Star
Thomas Detry +230 .20 Star
Rickie Fowler +260 .20 Star
Taylor Montgomery +150 .20 Star
All in for the Shriners 2.5 Stars Total in Play
