CHRYSLER CLASSIC - MOORE 50/1 FOR MAIDEN WIN
The market leader’s for this week’s US Tour event look suspect on the basis that many are out of form, or are using this event as warm-up for next week’s AmEx Championship. Looking further down the betting didn’t do us any harm last week, with pick, J J Henry, squeezing into the places at 66/1 (albeit at half the stake), so we’ll adopt a similar policy this week. Ryan Moore is surely a future star in the making, and it’ only a question of time before he breaks his Tour duck. That could be this week judging on some promising efforts recently, including a runner-up spot in the Canadian Open at the beginning of the month. His scoring average is 70.17 this season, which ranks 23rd overall, and he’ll fancy his chances this week on a track where he finished 24th as an amateur in 2004.

At 50/1 (55/1 Enhanced Odds), he has to be in the staking plan this week, along with 2002 Rookie of the Year, Jonathan Byrd (66/1). Byrd is already a winner on Tour, but has not played well this season, until showing signs he was about to come out of his slum with a fifth in the Lumber Classic last time out. He’s another who can count on good course form, with a third
(2002) and fifth (2003) to his name.
The final pick is a complete wild-card, but the 125/1 on Matt Gogel could look massive come Sunday night, providing he plays as well as he has done in previous visits to the Forest Oaks course (Tied 8th 2004, 3rd 2003). He’s currently placed outside the top-125 ‘bubble’ of money leaders, so a good week will go a long way to ensure his card again next season. As with all US Tour events, we’ll have live betting, via our new ‘In-Play’ console, right up to the final putt on Sunday.
Chrysler Classic Three Off The Tee: Ryan Moore @ 50/1; Jonathan Byrd @ 66/1; Matt Gogel @ 125/1 (Each-way ¼ odds 1.2.3.4.5.)
