GOLF
The PGA Tour continues with The Northern Trust Open and here we have recent WGC St Jude Invitational winner, Brooks Koepka, trading as a 9/1 favourite ahead of Rory Mcilroy 12/1, Dustin Johnson 16/1, Jon Rahm 18/1 and you can get 20/1 and better the balance.
All eyes will be on Tiger Woods who has not looked at his best and played very rarely since his Masters victory and the great man is priced at 35/1 a win and 7/1 a place.
We fancy a bit of Hideki Matsuyama whose form has dipped a little bit of late, but if he can return to anything like his best, the 55/1 he wins will look a great price.

The Ladies Scottish Open takes place this weekend and Ariya Jutanugarn is the 6/1 favourite ahead of Hyo Joo Kim priced at 17/2 and you can get 10/1 and better about the balance of the field.
We mentioned in yesterday’s Diary that the impressive Ashleigh Buhai from South Africa is 55/1 and while I certainly wouldn’t discount her chances she has it all to do against a very strong Asian contingent at the top of the betting boards.
Our play for this week is a win only bet on Minjee Lee at 11/1.
