The Verizon Classic

By Profit Swing

Verizon Heritage, Harbour Town Golf Links, Hilton Head, South Carolina
15th -18th March, Sky Sports 2, Sky Sports HD2

After the excitement of The Masters comes another great tournament at Harbour Town. Make no mistake this is a great Tournament in its own right with small greens and water everywhere. I favour avoiding players who were involved in the heat of battle last week and also value previous course form highly as this is a course that takes some knowing.

Our star selection this week is a five times winner of this event , the veteran Davis Love III. I think he will have been inspired by Freddie Couples heroics last week. Love has been at this venue early and I feel will have a big week.

Pick: 1 point EW 1/4 1,2,3,4,5 Davis Love III 71.0 Bet365

Last year’s winner  Brian Gay has had a quiet start to this season but owing to the way he won last year I am hoping for a huge performance. There is little wrong with his game, he has just not put four good rounds together. Golfers can regain confidence very quickly and it could happen this week.

Pick: 1 point EW 1/4 1,2,3,4,5 Brian Gay 36.0 Sky Bet

Joe Ogilvie is having his best season ever on tour and this short but accurate hitter looks way overpriced. I am concerned about his last round scoring average but we can take a risk at this price.

Pick: 0.5 point EW 1/4 1,2,3,4,5 Joe Ogilvie 151.0 Bet365

All four days are shown on Sky, enjoy what is sure to be a brilliant spectacle.
