Byron Nelson Classic

For only the third time this year, the top five players in the World Ranking tee it up this week and it's an odds-on chance that one of them will win. Of the five, Woods and Els have the best records here, but value hunters should be looking elsewhere for the winner this week. Sergio Garcia is capable of beating anybody on his day, and it could be worth taking the chance that he can bounce back from blowing a six-shot lead last weekend.Bounce-back-ability is a term that has been used to describe a golfer's ability to shrug off the disappointment of a bogey (or worse) and bouncing back with a birdie (or better) on the next hole. The stats for the 2005 US Tour show that Sergio is high up in these rankings, and he looks good each-way value to successfully defend his title this week. Alternatively, you could back him in our 'Enhanced Win Only' market at 28/1!Other players fancied to go well this week are Jim Furyk, Scott Verplank and Shigeki Maruyama. The latter, in particular, looks overpriced judged on his record here (winner in 2002, 7th last year), and could also be value in our '1st Round Leader' market at 33/1. A streaky player who is capable of shooting low, it's also significant that he's playing the easiest of the two courses used for this tournament in the first round. The pick of the three-figure prices this week could be Bart Bryant at 150/1, a dead-straight hitter with a couple of top-10's to his name already this season. Even if he doesn't make the frame, he could still be value in our'3 Ball' betting.If recent results are anything to go by, we could be in for another thrilling finish on Sunday night. Last week's win for Vijay was the 12th straight week a Tour event has been decided on or beyond the 72nd hole - five of the last six have been decided by a playoff! Incidentally, Garcia was 1/8 going into the final round last Sunday which only underlines the unpredictability, and excitement, of our 'In-Play' market.
