RENO TAHOE OPEN PICKS
As mentioned, it's the perfect opportunity for some of the tour's 'lesser' known players so to speak to grab a victory but don't doubt for a second that there are some top players at the Reno Tahoe Open and what's more, available at very good value prices.
The Jack Niclaus designed Montreux golf course is no easy track, winding through some forest land full of tall pines and with all sorts of elevation changes and drops. The Reno Taho open course plays about 7500 yards long but doesn't seem like it as the ball flies due to the course being at altitude.
Reno Tahoe Open golf picks:
Note:get on fast, these prices will fall. Quick and hard.
-1pt E/W Vaughn taylor E/W @ 33/1(stanjames) Loves the course. Winner of back to back opens here in the mid 2000's and in the mix last week
-1pt E/W John Rollins E/W @ 33/1 (general) You may be surprised to know that Rollins is one of the money leaders on the tour. Has a couple of 2nd's this season as well as here last year and a top 10 last week. No better chance for a win.
Bet update: 16pts lay John Rollins @ 1.45(exchanges)liability = 7.2pts (currently 4 stroke advantage after 54 holes)
Updated @ 11:45 on 09/08/2009
-1pt E/W Mark Wilson @40/1(general) Top quality player just hitting form. Knows how to win when he gets in position. Top 10 here last year
-1pt E/W Ben Crane @ 25/1 (general) Not usually a Crane backer as he's let me down a lot but in a modest field, off the back of a good finish last week and with decent course form behind him, I'd be silly not to.VOID (non runner)
unfortunately Crane who was a big fancy will not be competing in this one anymore so instead Jonathan Byrd is next on my shortlist
-1pt E/W Jonathan Byrd @ 40/1 (general) Good all round game and when on form can be a real winning threat. Good performance last week and a top 10 here last year
-1pt E/W Rodney Pampling @ 40/1 (general) His missed cut last week has made his odds so big but don't let that fool you, he only barely missed it and he's way overpriced in a field like this
Sleepers(massive odds players to keep an eye out for)
Kevin Stadler (150/1) can go low, has been shooting some great rounds recently and great finish here before.
-0.5pts E/W Kevin Stadler @ 150/1 (general)Monster price worth a bet
-1.5pts top 20 finish @ 13/2(paddypower)over twice as big a price as other firms
Harrison Frazer(80/1) and Will McKenzie(80/1) have both been showing some form lately and both have previous at the Reno Tahoe Open
-2pts mckenzie top 20 finish @ 10/3(paddypower)
-2pts Frazar top 20 finish @ 3/1(paddypower)
-1.5pts Rich Barcelo top 20 finish @ 13/2(paddypower) Who? Who indeed. Home town native is 7th in nationwide tour money leaders, accurate as well as long off the tee, a perfect combo to do well here.
