LONG-SHOT OUTRIGHT BETS TO MAKE
If you follow me on Twitter or read this column, you know I love betting on golf long shots (+2000 or longer). There’s just something thrilling about holding a lottery ticket deep into Sunday. It also presents you with multiple hedging opportunities if you want to eliminate some of your risks.
I know there are some big names in this week’s event, but I can see a dark horse making some noise. Most of my bets this week are based on course history. Here are a couple of guys worth sprinkling pizza money on:
Corey Conners +2500
Justin Rose +3500
Cameron Davis +4500
Adam Svensson +5000
