Golf Central

Firstly, an apology: sorry for the brief hiatus last week, I was on holiday in the Carribean with the missus and kids (which was lovely, thanks for asking). I'm now completely refreshed and raring to go, and in the Stanford St Jude Classic, I've come back home to a real belter. With the small matter of the US Open next week, this little tester in Memphis should give us an indication as to who's hit form at the right time. Should being the key word, because quite frankly, anything could happen...

David Toms @ 15/1
Justified favourite, Toms has got great previous in this tournament, finishing 3rd last year, 2nd in 2005 and, get this, he only won the bleeding thing in 2004.... and 2003. He's coasted along pretty comfortably so far in 2008, but if he's going to jump onto the winner's circle, this will be the week. And at 15/1, he ain't half good value.

Camilo Villegas @ 33/1
The IGWT perennial favourite, we're going to go with him again this week, if not for his obvious golfing ability, then his enviable good looks and fashion sense. Finished 3rd at the recent AT&T Classic and we're hoping, as was the case with Anthony Kim, the Colombian youngster will reward our loyalty with at least an each way finish.

Ryan Palmer @ 66/1
Not a name you'll see pop up often around these parts, but has finished 15th and 10th in his last two events, which is solid enough in my eyes to justify a few quid.
