Casey Wittenberg looks overpriced to add to his pair of Web.com Tour wins in 2012 at 66/1. Wittenberg has some solid form here recording two top 20's in his 3 starts which is no surprise on a course where accuracy is at a premium and pars are a good score. (Ranked 28th in driving accuracy and 10th in par breakers on his last full season on the Web.com Tour)
He struggled last year when graduating to the PGA Tour but his two best performances were on similarly tough tracks with a tie for 15th at Torrey Pines and a T8 finish at TPC Sawgrass. A second round 71 scuppered his chances of winning last week in Brazil where he went lowest of all players at the weekend shooting two rounds of 65, recording just the one bogey on his way to a T5 finish.

Baller - ditto re Wittenberg
Just got time this morning for a quick preview of the picks for this weeks Web.com event the Panama Claro Championship which was traditionally the opening event of the season but has now been pushed back a bit. Usually older more experienced pro's who are well travelled do well around the tough track and course form is not imperative as the last three winners have won on their course debut. So I have three of those and then one I feel is way overpriced.
Casey Wittenberg drops down to the lower tour after a poor season on the main tour, in 2012 he won twice - the Louisiana Open as has Ed Loar and the Wichita Open as has Matt Goggin. He has also won the Southern Amateur as have Ed Loar and Scott Dunlap. All those other players have won this weeks event. He has played here four times and made four cuts but it is usually his first event and this year comes in with three starts under his belt including last weeks 5th when he closed with a pair of 65's. The reason I mention that is that his Louisiana win came on his third start in 2012 and he quite simply blew away the field He also has a good finish on the tough Ohio State University course as other winners here do - 0.5 ew 60/1
Bill Lunde @ 38 fits the bill of an older player although he has experience around here with a best finish of 5th in his last visit in 2008. He has won on the tough OSU course and was 4th last month in Bogota - so he ticks a lot of boxes 0.15 ew 80/1
I must admit I thought Tim Petrovic was younger but he is definitely classed as a veteran @ 47. He has never played here before (not a problem) but he was an eyecatching 14th in Puerto Rico on the main tour a couple of weeks ago 0.2 ew 80/1
Apologies for putting up Cameron Beckman again but he is the right age and has won outside the states - Mexico and at 200/1 he only needs a small investment to see if he takes to the tough track 0.1 ew
