So this time last year, a little Columbian street fighter by the name of Camillo Villegas was just missing out to Erik Van Royen, prior to a massive week for the blog where he pissed up at 125/1. Fall events are very feast and famine and I'm going to reduce my investments where prices allow until the big events in January.
This event is synonymous with huge fairways and greens, and in 2023 Adam Long hit every single fairway in 4 rounds such are the targets on offer. It's a glorified putting contest, it is firm, fast, and if you can stay out of the bunkers it's a week for low numbers.
So out of the last 3 weeks 2 have been selected on draw and weather and both times the forecast has switched and the draw become null and void so I'm ignoring such imponderables for good!
El Cardonale et Diamonte, Los Cabos Mexico, Par 72, 7452 has yielded positional players and tacticians wins down the years, so we go with 2 players this week at reduced odds who don't live, sleep and breathe launch monitors, and 1 potential wanker.
First up I'm not breaking a habit, because it's more addictive than meth. He can't putt under pressure, he's won 0 times rather than the 5 times he should have won, he makes me look a twat on a regular basis and he even managed to bottle a head to head with Peter Malnati, but in a field so weak, where Harry Hall is 25/1, CAM YOUNG is 20/1. 20 to bloody 1!!! 7 pts each way, no regrets Bet365 8 places.
Next up form here, form in the fall and form in 2024 sees JHONOTTAN VEGAS as the next Columbian to grace our presence. At 40 the 3M Open presented JV with his first tour win and with 11th at the Zozo recently, his putting woes seemed to be less of a problem. and I do love players turning 40 or having kids for a bounce. Bet365 are leading again with 8 places and at 30/1 we go 5pts e/w.
Last up with Seamus Power not playing (he would have been my number 1 pick) a familiar favourite hits the screen in the hope that JUSTIN SUH has one of those putting weeks. His profile is well practised on the blog, so lets just say he is easily good enough to win this at a canter if he can put it together for 4 days. He's had a hellish 2024, but he came 4th here last year and I've just got a thing for his game. at 66/1 he's a huge each way price with Bet365 8 places and he gets our last 3pts e/w.
I apologise in advance to all of my followers, all of the readers, my family, my dog, my friends and co-workers. I can't help myself. F you Cam, idiot, just win already.
