Ian Poulter: shy and retiring as always
After a third big win of the season last week with Anthony Kim (no, we can't quite believe it either), it's the fifth Major-in-waiting, according to our friends across the water. The Players Championship at The Stadium Course, Sawgrass, is guaranteed to be a doozy, with Tiger absent and a heap of young guns aiming for a spot in the highest echelon of golf.
Our tips:-
Padraig Harrington @ 20/1: he won't always do the business on the biggest stage, but there's a certain consistency in Harrington's game and we loved the way he went about his business at Augusta to bring home the betting bacon for us.
Stephen Ames @ 66/1: he's done it before and although we're also tempted by Retief Goosen at 40/1 and Andres Romero at 75/1, the toothsome Ames gets a piece of our action on an each-way punt.
Ian Poulter @ 110/1: although we can't really see a British winner this year (Luke Donald seems to be the perennial bookies' favourite among The Brits, anyway) we're hoping for a decent place on an each way for Mr Fancy Pants at this irresistible price.
Last week's tips:-
Anthony Kim @ 50/1 (1st place)
Adam Scott @ 16/1 (tied 8th)
Charley Hoffman @ 66/1 (missed cut)
