Fedex St Jude Classic Preview

For this week’s event, it’s hard to get past our 8/1 ‘jolly’ David Toms. Even at that price, he looks good value when you consider that he virtually owns this event, winning it for the last two years, and being placed 4th the year before. Last year’s win was even more meritorious after he turned up in miserable form (missed five of his last 7 cuts), and the fact that he’s in much better form this time around (2nd last week), makes the case for backing him even stronger. He can be chased home by veteran Nick Price, a perennial contender here, who showed there was life in the old dog yet with a 6th place at the Byron Nelson. As a rank outsider, I like the look of Ben Crane (a massive 125/1), who’s coming off his first top-20 of the season at Colonial, an indication that he’s coming back to the form that won him the Bell South Classic a couple of years back
