GLOVER TO HUMBLE HIS HOUSTON RIVALS AT 28/1
Th Apr 20 – 4:00 pm ET (USA)

This week’s event is being played on a brand new course (Redstone GC, Humble, TX), which unfortunately means there’s no course form to go on. However, it’s safe to assume that at just under 7,500 yards long, the course is going to suit the long-hitters, which is why the main pick this week is Lucas Glover (tenth in total driving this season). With four top-ten efforts and seven top-25 finishes in 11starts, Glover’s had the ‘winner waiting to happen’ look for some time now and, at the bet365 price of 28/1, he has to be thereabouts.
Despite having no course form to go on, a good record in Houston is still desirable as it shows an ability to play in the prevailing course and weather conditions, and that means Gary Owen must come into the reckoning at a tasty bet365 price of 40/1. Last year’s Houston Open represented his best chance to win on the Tour before the Bay Hill Invitational last month (finished fourth after holding the final round lead during the front nine), and a return to Houston should see him back into he mix. He’s worth backing each-way in bet365’s outright market, but mustn’t be missed at 11/2 to be Top European.
At the same odds, the massive-hitting Camillo Villegas also makes plenty of appeal, having twice made the frame this year in his rookie year. He missed the cut last week at Hilton Head, where the emphasis was on accuracy off the tee, but this week’s set-up will be much more to his liking. Don’t forget, once the event tees off, bet365 will still be taking plenty of bets via their In-Play Console found on their homepage. The advice here is to back your selection before they reach the intimidating 15th, the longest of the par fives at a mere 607 yards!
The Houston Open Three Off The Tee … Lucas Glover @ 28/1, Gary Owen @ 40/1, Camillo Villegas @ 40/1. Each-way ¼ odds 1.2.3.4.5
