The Honda Classic
The Honda Classic is held at The PGA National which is a 7,158 yard par 70 course. No Jordan Spieth or Jason Day this weekend so Rory McIlroy is the 13/2 tournament favourite. Rory won this event in 2012 and came 2nd in a play off in 2014, but I will be avoiding him this weekend as he isn’t converting as many putts under 12 foot that he should.
I don’t back players to win as anything can happen over 4 days so I prefer to trade them instead on the betting exchange instead which is backing them now and then laying them back in running at a lesser price.
There may well be a further lay tip in running of a player who is up at the top of the leaderboard that I think will choke when the pressure starts to mount in the back 9 of the final round.
Rickie Fowler
Rickie cost me money 2 weeks ago when he lost in a play off after being 2 shots clear on the 17th hole, but I will side with him again this week. I think that he is the likeliest winner as he is the most consistent player playing this week as he has had 5 top 5 finishes in his last 6 matches including a win!
Adam Scott
Last year during The President’s Cup Adam experimented with a regulation putter and he was surprisingly better with it than he was with his “broom handle” putter. His putting was fantastic in the final round at the weekend when he was 5 under for the first 6 holes. Ok he didn’t win but if he can have a run like that his price will shorten in running.
Phil Mickleson
He has won 42 tournaments in his career and 1 thing for sure with Phil is that his short game is one of the best in the world which is the man reason why he has had 2 top 5 finishes in his last 4 tournaments.

Now assuming all the lay bets get matched in running this will give 4 points profit if either play wins and break even if they don’t. You can only do this kind of betting on a betting exchange such as Betfair.
Good post Apex. Good luck!
Thanks

I see you just leapfrogged me on the Leaderboard, I’m still clinging on 🙂
But once we over take William the pressure is off. I dunno who is below us but it’s only a matter of time before Polly catches us up!
