Dustin Johnson 10/1

With Phil Mickelson in the field don’t expect Dustin Johnson to start as favourite here, but he’s my go to guy for golf in this part of the world. His knockers will point to his final day collapse in the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach, but there’s so much more to the story than that. In the past five stagings Dustin has only been outside the top seven once and has won the event twice, in 2009 and 2010. His low drilling ball flight, his ability to play in wind and the fact that he won The Tournament Of Champions a few weeks back, make DJ an obvious choice.

Aaron Baddeley 42/1

Who? Trust me on this one. The Bible bashing Aussie has been in the top six here in each of the past two years and two of his four PGA Tour wins have come in February. On his day Badds can be a wonderful putter and I expect a good performance here after a solid sixth at The Farmers two weeks back.

Tim Clark 60/1

Since coming second at The Sony Open things have gotten considerably tougher for Tim with an MC at the Humana and a tie for 49^th last week. However with Spyglass and Pebble both checking in around the 7,000 yard mark for par 72 and Monterey being a par 70, it should suit the short and accurate South African at very generous odds of 60/1.

Jimmy Walker 55/1

A recent top five at The Farmers says Jimmy is set to emulate his haul of five top-10’s from 2012. Walker has unfinished business at Pebble Beach, coming a cropper in the final round of each of the past two stagings. Both resulted in top 10’s but rounds of 75 and 76 destroyed what might have been much more lucrative finishes. Don’t count him out for a podium finish each way if he finally gets to grips with Pebble on Sunday.

Bryce Molder 70/1

My longest odds shout this week is Bryce Molder. Solid if unspectacular top 25’s at the Waste Management and Humana point to good play and though he didn’t make the 54 hole cut last season, top 10’d in 2011 and 2010. The odd time these tips work out. Let’s see how Bryce fares.
