It’s off to the Memorial Tournament we go for some serious golf betting action with our third hit of the year. Phil Mickelson was the sports betting favorite, but he still came through for us at 8-to-1 last week on the last hole of the tournament. We’ll take it and move on:

Stewart Cink 18-1

Still no Tiger Woods this week, which should take the pressure off the second tier of golfers like it did for Phil Mickelson last week. Stewart Cink has been solid this year. He has finished in the top-21 in nine of his last 10 starts. He’s been close several times with two third-place finishes and a pair of seconds. My concern is that Cink might be a better T-5 or T-10 pick because his history at Muirfield has been similar to his play this season: lots of close calls but no wins. He’s finished fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and twelfth at this tournament but never won it. Buyers and sports betting enthusiasts beware.

K.J. Choi 28-1

K.J. Choi has a good track record at this tournament with plenty of recent success. First of all, he’s the runner up. Second of all, he’s had top-10’s in three of the last four years. The South Korean has been chopped in two of the last three weeks but still has a win and three top-10’s this year.

Jim Furyk 20-1

Prior to missing the cut last week, Furyk was getting into a nice rhythm. He had a fourth, seventh and 27th place finish prior to making other plans for the weekend at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. But Furyk likes the Memorial with four top-10 finishes and a win in 2002. Look for Furyk to bounce-back this week.

Kenny Perry 33-1

Kenny Perry has been solid in two of the last three weeks finishing 15th at the TPC and losing in a playoff at the AT&T Classic. He fell back to 46th at the Crowne Invitational but he’s had more success at the Memorial. He’s won twice before and tied for third last year. Clearly, he plays well at the course and should be sticking with the leaders throughout the four rounds.

Jeff Quinney 50-1

Glancing through the Fed Ex Cup standings, I discovered a name that most people won’t recognize: Jeff Quinney. He has three top-10 finishes this year and very quietly, two have come over the last two weeks. He hasn’t broke through on the Tour yet but he’s been playing phenomenal golf over the last couple of weeks and should be fairly confident this weekend.

Mike Weir 65-1

Mike Weir has been out of the top echelon for a while now but he showed some signs at the Colonial, which is somewhat encouraging. He finished tied for 15th last week. What’s interesting with Weir at this tournament is that you’ll know early how he’ll finish. He’s missed the cut here in two of his last three tries, but he also has a third and fourth place finish. The value is pretty good for a guy who can win it if he’s on his game.
