Headline Selections for Valspar and Tshwane Open
Tshwane Open: Craig Lee (150/1) win, top 10, #FRL
Current form: T45 - MC #Simmering; Course form: N/A
Key stats: 21 birdies, 2 eagles at Africa Open
Saw some very early blue on Oddschecker last week which grabbed my attention. Slow start but then a birdie blitz Friday through Sunday at East London. 2 disaster holes cost him including snowman on 18 (easily done with slightly errant tee shots on that track). Has form on tight treelined courses, posting a 61 in Cran en route to playoff loss in 2013 (-20 total).
Valspar Championship: Kevin Na (55/1) win, top 10
Current form: 9-61-mc-26; course form: 2, 38, 44 #Progressive
Key stats; scrambling: 24th; Par 3 performance: 27th
Usually a factor on the Florida swing. Came close last year and can contend in the biggest events, posting a runner up at Memorial. Top 10 at Doral very impressive last week on course that didn't suit. Scrambling skills vital for Copperhead and Na excels more than most in that department.
