Golf Betting Tips: Joaquin set to fly at the Travelers Championship
Follow @NicsPicks
Simmering Niemann a very strong course fit for TPC River Highlands
The major type fields continue this week for the Travelers Championship and the first thing that strikes me is that many of the front end of the market look decent value EW bets. The RBC Heritage continues in the same vein of little shots separating the top 30 or so in the market and realising your equity on bets is proving harder and harder. I tweeted at one stage that I was sweating a top 20 bet on JT Poston, and he was -15 at the time. This will settle down a little as the fields become less stacked.
Another thing that hit me at Harbour Town was just how much the no fans affected stray balls. This was obviously going to be the case but the likes of Patrick Reed last week was really punished for being slightly errant and in hindsight my selections were maybe a little off the temporary profile.
The Travelers Championship is an event I enjoy betting on and TPC River Highlands is a track that will suit a lot of the players, which is why numerous big names that don't usually travel there will enjoy the week. The main variable to note is the run offs and shortsides here are quite simply a no go area. I've noted in the past the likes of Justin Thomas was far too aggressive at short side flags on the tiered surfaces with run offs and just couldn't get up and down when he missed. The depth of the rough here is variable and may dictate the scoring.
