A preview of six players at long betting odds who can win one of golf's four Major Championships in 2016.
I've been looking through the betting for the 2016 Majors and spotted six players at very favourable betting odds who have the game to win on golf's biggest stage.
Brooks won the Phoenix Open in 2015 and has the power and poise to contend at the business end of the Majors. Showed his ability to hit fairways when needed at Chambers Bay and the ability to adapt to links with a top 10 at St Andrews and T2 at the Alfred Dunhill Links. Tied fifth at the 2015 PGA Championship and I predict even better in 2016.
Three sure things in life; time, tide and Branden Grace winning a Major. Two wins in 2015 were a reaffirmation for Grace that he belongs among the World's elite and he proved it in the Majors.
The South African was the unlucky man at Chambers Bay but showed at Whistling Straits that his performance was no flash in the pan.
I'll be placing a sneaky bet on Justin myself; this kid has everything needed to win big. Shot 61 twice last year on Tour and won impressively at the CIMB Classic. A massive driving year set up 440 birdies; ranked second on Tour. If Jordan Spieth proved that being young is no barrier to success this past year, Justin Thomas can join the gang in 2016.
After three playoff losses in 2015 Kevin finally became a PGA Tour winner at the RSM Classic and I believe possess to two powerful attributes that could see him dining at golf's top table in 2016. First he is a bona fide "Sunday performer." Some players fold in the final round; Kisner's swing thrives in the pressure cooker of being in contention. Second, he's a rock solid putter from 10 feet and in.
Can be Europe's answer to Jordan Spieth. With a game founded on incredible accuracy from the tee, Matt grew in stature as the 2015 season progressed and finally bagged a richly deserved first Tour win in style at the British Masters. I'm a massive believer in the par-3 scoring stat each week being an indicator of a top ball striker and in nine of his last 10 events of 2015 Matt played the short holes under par. Cannot wait to see him unleashed on the world stage in 2016.
Three times a winner in 2015 including demolishing the field by nine shots in Portugal and Sully is rapidly becoming the complete package. 2016 is a year to build on the flashes of form we saw on US courses with low rounds at The Memorial and Quicken Loans but if Andy hits form on a Major week, he has the confidence to get the job done.
