72 Hold Group Golf Betting

Group A: Lee Westwood +275, Rory McIlroy +300, Robert Allenby +325, Ben Crane +350, Zach Johnson +375

Analysis: This is an amazingly tough group. I’m tossing McIlroy and Westwood because I believe that McIlroy regresses a tad after that 10th place finish at the Memorial last week and that Westwood will be using the St. Jude more as a prep for the U.S. Open than anything else.

Allenby missed the cut at the Memorial but finished 2nd at The Players Championship two PGA Tour Events ago. Still, I’m tossing him as well. That leaves Crane and Johnson.

Crane has been on fire with 3 straight Top 10 finishes, but Johnson was awesome at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. I’m going with Johnson because of the higher than expected group golf betting odds.

Pick: Zach Johnson +375

Group B: Padraig Harrington +300, David Toms +325, Camilo Villegas +325, Brian Gay +325, Heath Slocum +350

Analysis: Paddy, Camilo and Slocum are all throw-outs. I’m not throwing them out because they believe they have no chance, but because I believe that Toms and Gay, the 2nd and 1st place finishers in the 2009 St. Jude Classic, are going to have great tournaments again.

Out of the two, my money will be on Gay even though he’s a sink or swim type of golfer. Gay shot at -18 at last year’s St. Jude Classic. I’ll be wagering that he bounces back from some recent less than stellar finishes.

Pick: Brian Gay +325

Group C: Charl Schwartzel +250, Fredrik Jacobsen +300, Justin Leonard +325, Stephen Ames +350, Kevin Na +350

Analysis: Schwartzel is always tough. I’m not to hot on Leonard and Ames, however. So, I’m lying off of those two guys. I do believe Kevin Na might have a great tournament, but my money is going to end up on Jacobsen in this group. He was the runner-up at the Texas Open is ranked 7th in ball-striking and has finished in the Top 10 at TPC Southwind in the past.

Pick: Fredrik Jacobsen +300

Group D: Robert Karlsson +275, John Senden +300, Boo Weekley +300, J.B. Holmes +325, Tim Petrovic +350

Analysis: Petrovic is an obvious pick to me. He finished 6th at the Texas Open and then 5th at the Memorial last week. He has some decent history at the Memorial as well. I’m taking the hot golfer at the better than expected golf odds of +350 in this group.

Pick: Tim Petrovic +350
