USPGA 2010

Tiger Woods has as many friends as Ivor Calley this week as his price hits 16/1 pre tournament and few takers at that price. Do the others even fear him now?The only danger he poses is to the spectators as he hit two last week, drawing blood out of one of them. That's with the ball, not the club, only Elin swings clubs at people.

So who can win this? The last 7 winners of Majors have been priced 250/1, 80/1, 14/1, 200/1, 175/1, 225/1, 140/1 so grab a dart. Don't hold your breath for a a triple figure price winner but once we go in running, keep your noggin on and you can avail of some smashing prices on untrendy outsiders. McDowell was available at 25/1 after an excellent first round at the US Open and at the British Open Oosthuizen was still available at 10/1 on Friday afternoon even with a few shots clear and others going backwards fast on a wet and windy day.

I avoided tipping Phil Mickelson last week waiting to back him here however my confidence has been dented with a horror final round last week when the number one spot was in sight but I guess that's Phil. It's all duck or no dinner with him and just look at him, he's eaten plenty of duck dinners. He finished two shots off victory the last time the event was held at Whistling Straits. He hasn't shone in the last few months but his 2005 USPGA win was on the back of some horror form and he is a worthy favourite. 14/1


Of the outsiders to consider, there are three that grab my attention. G-Mac has drank plenty of bubbly since his win in the US Open and he's easy to dismiss but with a links course modeled on his home course of Portrush and a nice tasty price, he has to be worth a flutter at those prices at 55/1

Germany's Martin Kaymer has played well without threatening to win the last two majors(8th and 6th) and is I can see him getting in the shakedown for your six places at 45/1.

South African Charl Schwatrzel was all smiles and one of the first to congratulate Louis Oosthuizen on his Open victory but surely going through his head "If this useless eegit can win one, then my turn must be next". Rory got inspiration from Graeme and would of won only for that horror Friday and I Can see Charl getting in the shakedown at 110/1

Verdict: Mickelson 14/1 main bet
McDowell 55/1-Kaymer 45/1-Schwatrzel 110/1 outsiders
