St Jude Invitational Betting Tips & Predictions
Golf punters barely get time to draw breath and as soon as one tournament of note finishes at this time of year, we are straight back into another. It’s a testing time of the sport’s top players and they must spread the load wisely, but it’s a wonderful time to be a sports fan and punter. We’re never short of something to bet on in summer.
Last week’s action was enjoyable with Shane Lowry winning The Open Championship in Northern Ireland. The victor was popular in the betting, especially amongst those who waited to get their cash down in-play. Rory McIlory suffered a nightmare start and that saw those who backed the favourite without a live interest for the rest of the weekend. In-play betting can prove useful at major golf tournaments and it’s always something we advise you consider. Splitting your stake between a pre-competition bet and an in-play bet is often a shrewd approach.
Southwind Provides a Real Challenge
With The Open Championship results now in the book for another year we turn our attentions to the WGC – FedEx St Jude Invitational which takes place this weekend between Thursday and Sunday. Play gets started at 4.00pm GMT on Thursday and takes us through to the crowning of a champion on Sunday evening. Armchair fans can follow all four days of action live on Sky Sports and it’s sure to pull in a healthy audience.
TPC Southwind in Tennessee provides the backdrop and this is a course that will present a significant challenge to the players involved. If there are any signs of fatigue in the legs from last week’s outing, you can bet it will show up very quickly. The course isn’t short on challenges, with many trees and bunkers thrown into the mix recently, just to make things more interesting. The greens are smaller than average and there’s a few water hazards – no less than 10, in fact. To get around this course as champion takes patience, skill and a winning attitude.
Last year’s Fedex champion was Dustin Johnson who handed in a winning score of 19 under par to leave the chasing pack for dust. DJ’s efforts 12 months ago were sublime, and his card would’ve been enough to see him crowed champion in most recent renewals. He took the title from 2017 winner Hideki Matsuyama. Johnson came out on top in 2016, although he claimed the prize with a -6 tally that year. It’s a course he likes, will we see him come out on top again?
