Travelers Championship

A come down from last weeks quality in field and course, but nevertheless, a winner is a winner....
Would not be overly keen on any of the market leaders, Rose may opt not to play, and have a deserved week off. On this point, it may be worth placing your bets earlier, as if he does withdraw, odds will be slightly cut, some more proportionally than deserved. If he does line up, he may be one to back pre off, and lay off at end of round one. I find it quite common for someone who has won a big event/breakthrough win/breakthrough major, to come out of traps very quickly the following week, fuelled by the adrenalin of the previous weeks exploits, then fatigue, both mental and physical sets in. Mat Manassero being the latest example, after winning the Bmw, he was supreme on Thursday, and even Friday, before capitulating, and looking pure exhausted.
I would have no interest in Westwood(no course form, wont hole enough birdie putts), Bradley(poor course form, from limited starts), Simpson likewise. Mahan has sexy course form figures, but looked drained by end of Sunday, and may not have the stomach for battle again so soon.  I may end up backing Dufner, who also has poor course form, but that was from 2008 and before, when all his form was generally poor, so nothing to say he wont adapt to it, now he is a far superior player, and the course should suit. One who finally looked to find his form at the weekend, producing a superb round on Sunday. And most importantly, finding some confidence with the putter. I have just talked myself into backing him!! 25-1, 6 places with BVictor.
Ryan Moore at 40s with the same firm looks good bet. Missed cut at the weekend can prove a blessing in disguise, he has 3 top 4s in his last 7 visits here, and having thrown away a great chance of victory here two years ago, as a recent enough winner, he may get over the line this time, and gain a deserved win here.
John Rollins is not someone I would usually back, as believe he is a bit of a bottler, but at 40s with 6 places Betvictor, he is also worth an e.w bet. A player who usually groups his good performances together, he has been top 6 in his last two outings, and top 4 in his last two visits here. Wasn't at Merrion, so will be fresher than most, and is very likely to be on the premises.
Stewart Cink is a two time winner here, who completely lost his way after his win in the British Open. His last two visits here can be ignored, because he was playing truly awful, but is slowly finding his game, and returning here may be the final piece in the jigsaw, to see him returning to contending on Sunday. 100-1  5 places, or 80s  6 places available, he is well worth including.
Finally I am going with Camilo Villegas. Have been very sweet on him lately, he came close to rewarding e.w support last time out, he too had last week off, and a finish of 29th last year can be upgraded in that he was in generally very poor form at the time, and comes here now in much better nick. He started last years final round two shots ahead of eventual winner Mark Leishman, and went through the first 44 holes with only one bogey, before maybe the pressure of contending when it was so rare for him at the time, possibly told. E.w at 80-1.
Or you can ignore all that sh*te, and ask Deplasterer for the winner, which he provided last week, who I so confidently scoffed at at the time
