The US Masters may be behind us, but the PGA Tour continues with the RSM Classic taking place at the Sea Island Resort in Georgia this week. We pick 4 players to take on the field.
The players will tee up at two courses this week namely the Plantation Course and the Seaside Course with the Seaside Course being used for the final 2 rounds.
The Plantation Course is a par 72 layout with generous fairways, but there is water around which can punish any wild shots. The Seaside Course is more exposed to the elements and the par 70 layout plays very differently to the Plantation Course.
In play punters will need to note which course players are on, in the first two rounds as the scores can be misleading and at the same time can result in betting opportunities.
Webb Simpson tops the betting at 9/1 ahead of Tyrrell Hatton 18/1 and you can get 25/1 and better the balance. From a South African perspective Louis Oosthuizen, who went well last week at the US Masters, is priced at 35/1.

Selections:
Russell Henley each way at 25/1
Henley has some excellent course form having had 3 Top 10’s, all be it they were a few years back. He is playing good golf again and he is shooting for his 10th consecutive cut and in his last 9 starts he has had 4 Top 10’s.
C.T. Pan each way at 80/1
I am a little surprised to be getting such a big price about Pan who has been in solid form and was very impressive last week with a Top 10 at the Masters. He has some consistent and decent course form as well and I would not be surprised to see this price shorten.
Alex Noren each way at 110/1
Noren finished in the Top 10 last year and he has been lightly raced of late, but did show good form early in the year with 6 Top 25 finishes. This isn’t the strongest of fields and Noren looks a very attractive price.
Dylan Frittelli each way at 66/1
Another price I am a bit surprised to be getting as Frittelli was very impressive last week at the US Masters. He has shown promise since joining the PGA Tour and assuming last week didn’t take too much out of him, then he has every chance of going close this week and, of course, I love having a South African in the staking plan.
