This week the St. Jude Classic provides some of the worlds top players an opportunity to prepare for the US Open in seven days. While Lee Westwood leads the betting these are the two men that I expect to provide profit to punters come Sunday night.
David Toms
David Toms is a man marching towards the US Open in fantastic form. Three weeks back, he impressed when he agonisingly missed out on claiming Players Championship losing in a play off to K.J Choi. Just a week later he bounced back to card an emotional win at Colonial. Since then, Toms has taken a well earned break but on Thursday, he will return for the St. Jude Classic, somewhere he has impressed massively over the last decade. The American won here in 2003 and in 2004, was 2nd in 2005, 3rd in 2007 and 2nd in 2009. He may be second favourite to Lee Westwood with the bookmakers but for me, given his recent form and his amazing course consistency, Toms is the man to beat this week. He is best priced at 11/1 (Victor Chandler) and is a steady 11/8 (Victor Chandler) to finish in the Top 10, something he has achieved in five of his last eight attempts.
Heath Slocum
Heath Slocum has been in very inconsistent form this season and doesn’t seem to jump off the page when finding potential challengers but because of these factors the bookmakers have offered some big and tempting odds. He is 100/1 (Stan James) for a win but I see great value in a Top 20 at 7/2 (Paddy Power). Though he hasn’t given much reason for optimism on recent performances, he does hold some course form with a 4th in 2005, 12th in 2007 and 10th in 2009.
