Yet again, The Bet Detective brings home the bacon, albeit a thin slice of streaky, courtesy of the toothsome Stephen Ames. on an each way bet. Still, a win's a win and I'll have plenty of weeks to come without the merest sniff, no doubt. With the big boys resting up after the rigours of The Players Championship, I've moved away from the comfort zone of the  short odds, so don't hold your breath this week.

This week's tips:-

Camilo Villegas @ 30/1: Whereas he has an impressive body mass index, I just have an index which says I have considerable body mass. Still, would I swap places with the good-looking, independently wealthy professional golfer? 'Course not...
DJ Trahan @ 66/1: I was willing him to falter last weekend at The Players Championship and feel slightly guilty about it to be honest. A cracking season so far and although unlikely to win again, he's great value each way.
Nick Flanagan @150/1: clearly this is a long-shot. Do I know something Paddy Power doesn't? Not really, he was just very nice when I met him and his girlfriend at St Andrews during the Open in 2005. Oh, and he's good at golf.

Last week's tips:-

Stephen Ames @ 66/1 (5th)
Ian Poulter @ 110/1 (tied 21st)
Padraig Harrington @ 20/1 (missed cut)
