It's our oldest squad

From Houston to San Antonio a group of B and C rate players usually duke it out this week with the main aim at qualifying for Augusta next week. This week is different though as many of the world's top 50 players mix in and are tuning in and tuning up it seems.

A short write up this week as I'm without a laptop for a few days but we head straight to the selections.

This is the 3rd oldest competition on tour and TPC San Antonio has ranked in the top 10 scoring difficulty for a decade now. A par 72, 7438, it is an iron players course and approach shots are everything. The greens can firm up and 4 of the last 6 winners have led the field in the event with approach shot stats (and weirdly par 4 scoring stats).

Given his recent ball striking and his 2 wins round this course Corey Connors can overcome his weak putting and is an obvious choice but at 14/1 I can't recommend him. Searching down the field, I do have a couple of live winning contenders and we start the week with US Ryder Cup captain KEEGAN BRADLEY. He does have a lot on his plate this year, but he is a golfing badger and he can shake off the curse of the captaincy. He is an incredible price given his recent form, with 5 top 20s in 7 events. He is a superb ball striker and has played well here in the past, and we go 5pts e/w on him at best priced 25/1 8 places.

Another brilliant ball striker, we have TONY FINAU up next. Tony is having really bad problems with his putting, and I mean really bad but statistically he has crept up into the top 85 on tour SG putting and at 35/1 8 places he is a great price if he can have only a slightly shit week with the flat stick. We go 4pts e/w with him, Hills again and 8 places.

On difficult courses GARY WOODLAND excels. He finished 2nd in Houston and his swing tempo is looking absolutely delicious as he continues to get stronger post brain surgery. He is a huge 45/1 8 places with Paddy Power here, he is a US Open winner, so he can stripe his irons and we are again 4pts e/w on him 8 places, hoping the pressure of Augusta qualifying doesn't get too much.

Last up, it's an experienced squad, and the best iron player I have ever seen live in JUSTIN ROSE. Justin should now have got through his equipment change, putting irons with a little more help in the bag, and with the prowess round Pebble he has, along with ability to play in the wind, his profile is so interesting for this track. He is best priced 80/1 with all the big firms and we go 2pts ew with Hills again 8 places.

Apologies for the lack of info, but when the laptop arrives on Friday I can start the Masters write up in earnest, go well.
