early odds on exchanges

Bill Haas 50/1

Haas was actually born in Charlotte and played his college golf at Wake Forest like his Dad Jay before him. Missed the cut last time out at the RBC Heritage but I expect a big week from the Demon Deacons alumni. Already a winner at the Northern Trust back in February, Haas finished fourth here last year and has vital experience on this extremely tough track.

Jonathan Byrd 85/1

Last year Byrd came off two missed cuts to just lose out in a playoff to Lucas Glover. Rested since a top-30 at Augusta, Byrd is another who knows the course well both as professional and amateur having attended Clemson University and could be worth a look from extremely generous odds of 85/1.

Jim Furyk 40/1

Great to see Jim Furyk returning to form in this Ryder Cup year and he will be hoping to ensure his place on the Team bus with another big week on a course tailor made for his game. Though without a win since the 2010 Tour Championship, Jim has come close recently at the Transitions losing a playoff to Luke Donald. Just out of the top 10 at Arnie’s event and the Masters, then eighth last time out at Hilton Head. A past winner here in 2006, Furyk been 11^th or better in three of the last four stagings.

Phil Mickelson 13/1

I rarely back Phil after a layoff but he loves the greens at Quail Hollow and always gives value for money. Had this event by scruff of the neck last year until a poor back nine on the Saturday set him back. Nevertheless Leftie has a record of finishing 12^th or better every year since 2007 with a best of second to McIlroy (who plays this week) in 2010. Has already been first (Pebble Beach), second (Riviera), third (Augusta) and fourth (Houston) this season!

Best Of The Rest

I’m going with locals this week! Webb Simpson 42/1was born in Charlotte and like Bill Haas attended Wake Forest University. He knows Quail Hollow inside out and I saw a fresh spark in him last week in New Orleans where he posted his first under par finish in four events coming 13^th. Belly putters seem to do well on the greens also and I give Webb a real chance. Finished 21^st last year, a poor 74 on Saturday spoiled his week. Former Major champ Lucas Glover 160/1 went to Clemson in South Carolina and is also a course specialist. As well as winning last season he has finished tied for second here in 2009 and tied fourth in 2006 on a course ranked second toughest on the PGA Tour’s rota outside Majors.
