Stephen Ames will be back on the greens he loves best

Stephen Ames will be back on the greens he loves best

"Ames' last three PGA Tour victories came in Florida, where he played college golf. and the Canadian also has the tools to do well around the gruelling PGA National layout."

Recent form shouldn't be so highly prized now that the PGA Tour is back in Florida, says Paul Krishnamurty, and a Canadian could reward at a big price at this week's Honda Classic

This week marks the beginning of the Florida Swing, which often signals a significant turnaround in form for regional specialists. Many players, who've begun the season slowly in less favourable conditions, will relish the return to Bermuda greens, just as many others hate them. Consequently, there are always bound to be a few characters knocking around at ridiculous prices, purely because they lack very recent form.

Stephen Ames is exactly the type in question. Ames' last three PGA Tour victories came in Florida, where he played college golf. and the Canadian also has the tools to do well around the gruelling PGA National layout. Tee to green accuracy is going to be the order of the day, especially with strong winds and some rain forecast for the first couple of days. Ames has a reputation as one of the world's best wind players, dating back to the last century. He simply shouldn't be [200.0].

Secondly, an extremely speculative pick, Bobby Gates at [590.0]. This is an in-form player, who finished fifth on Sunday at the Mayakobo Classic, who could well thrive due to the bad weather. Gates' best form has come on tough Australasian courses, where wind is an almost permanent threat. He won the 2010 New Zealand Open before going on to finish 12th and sixth in the Australian Open and PGA last December. Those are excellent returns in decent events on tough golf courses - representing a better level of fairly recent form than most other rank outsiders could dream of.

The trading advice is to lay out 1.5 units, before placing two in-running lay orders at [16.0] and [5.0].

Recommended Bets:

1 unit Stephen Ames @ [200.0]
0.5 unit Bobby Gates @ [590.0]

Place order on each player to lay 5 units @ [16.0]
Place order on each player to lay 10 units @ [5.0]

This talented Dane is looking to follow in the footsteps of Martin Kaymer and Edoardo Molinari by winning on the proper tour after dominating at Challenge level...

He came mighty close last year and the Punter thinks the Thai veteran can do so again.......
