GOLF BETTING TIPS BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL
 
SURPRISED AT MCILROY'S ODDS
MCILROY IS GOOD VALUE AT 66/1 AT FIRESTONE
This week is the Bridgestone Invitational the third and final World Golf Championship of
the season. This is an event that Tiger Woods has dominated and its no surprise to see
him as the tournament favourite. However it would appear the bookmakers price Tiger
Woods the same odds almost every event irrelevant of who is competing.
 
MCILROY IS 50/1 AT MOST BOOKMAKERS EXCEPT SPORTING BET WHO ARE OFFERING 66/1
 
For example Woods is the same price this week as he was last week for the Buick Open. In that event his main threats
were Jim Furyk, Brian Gay and Justin Leonard. This week all the best players in the World are competing and the
likes of Brian Gay who was 30/1 seven days ago is 100/1 for the Bridgestone Invitational. It is very important when
backing golfers to make sure the odds give you some value and that is why we like the look of Rory Mcilroy.
 
Most of the bookmakers have Mcilroy at 50/1 which is understandable after his poor showing at the Open
Championship and Loch Lomond. However this young kid has a huge future ahead of him and we expect him to land
a big title before the year is out. He already has one title to his name winning the Dubai Desert Classic so there is no
reason he cannot win a World Golf Championship.
 
MCILROY HAS FINISHED IN THE TOP TWENTY 6 TIMES IN AMERICA THIS YEAR
 
Firestone is a brute of a course requiring long and accurate driving and this is Mcilroy's strength. The scoring is
unlikely to be low with -10 a good target. This will suit Mcilroy as his putting is the one part of his game that
shows signs of weakness. When you look at his stats you can see just how good he is. Currently 26th in the World,
5th in the Race to Dubai and number one on the European Tour scoring average charts.
 
Mcilroy has been very consistent all season. He has played very well in America and loves these big events. He
reached the Quarter Finals of the Accenture Matchplay and finished T20 on his debut at Augusta. He finished T10 in
the US Open and had top twenty finishes in the WGC CA Championship, the Shell Houston Open and the Honda
Classic. Expect fireworks very soon from Mcilory and at 66/1 at Sporting Bet this could be his week.
 
BK Tip: Rory Mcilroy each way at the Bridgestone Invitational - 66/1 @ Sporting Bet
