With such unbelievable course history it’s hard to find a reason NOT to back David Toms on the PGA Tour for this week's Stanford St. Jude Championship.
Five-year form figures of 10-2-1-1-4 at TPC Southwind make the Louisiana man a must bet at +1100 odds at SportBet.com.
Even better news is that Toms carded an 18th placed finish on his last start at Colonial two weeks ago and is clearly in form.
In a weakened field Toms went off at a single figure price for this event last year and there’s no doubt that the presence of Vijay Singh, Adam Scott and Padraig Harrington this time round means we can get such a decent price about the 2001 PGA Champion.
Besides the strengthened field punters should bear in mind that prior to last year's tournament the greens were changed from Bentgrass to Bermuda.
Therefore, Southwind will play differently to previous years and players with solid records on Bermuda courses should be taken into account.
Toms has no fears of Bermuda and the same goes for in form Matt Kuchar.
Kuchar went off the radar for a few seasons after winning the 2002 Honda Classic but has since shown signs of seriously returning to form with a 3rd place finish at the AT&T and 13th at Memorial last week.
”Kooch” as he’s affectionately known to his fellow pros is up for grabs at +10000 and that’s a bet well worth taking.
