Phoenix Open 2015: Pick 1 - Martin Laird top 10, win only

Waste Management Phoenix Open Headline pick: Martin Laird (1.2u top 10 6/1, 0.3u win 70/1)

Current form: 15, Course form: 19, mc, 61, 3

Key stats (2014) - Ball striking 39, Total driving: 25

Resides in Scottsdale, Arizona and practices out of the TPC. Reunited with his former coach now and - from an interview last week - he feels his swing and ball striking are reaching their peak again. Has added a new higher ball flight which will add to his chances here. Changes to the course will place more emphasis on tee to green play which Laird admits is his strength. Nice warm up with a top 15 last week at Humana. Says he's been striking it very well for last six months.

Pick 1 - Dubai Desert Classic: Marc Warren 1.2u Top 10, 0.3u win

Dubai Desert Classic Headline pick: Mark Warren 11/2 top 10, & 66/1 win only

Course form: mc, 17, mc, 20 ; Current form: 2, mc, 26, 21

Key stats - Putts per round: 27.0

Dialed in for the most part with the irons in Qatar en route to a runner up spot. Finished 46th in GIR and 4th in putts per round with 100% sand saves, so the short game is peaking. Back in the winners enclosure last year and I'm expecting a big season for Warren. Very surprised at his price this week.
