MICKELSON HAS STRUGGLED SINCE HIS WIFE FELL ILL AND PERRY HAS RUN OUT OF STEAM

We have already stated how Glover plays well on tough courses and he comes into this event on excellent form

having finished 5th at the US PGA Championship. If Mickelson and Perry were at their best then this would be

a bet worth avoiding. However Mickelson has had personal problems with the illness of his wife and was well below

par at the final major. Perry seems to have run out of steam after an excellent season. In his last ten tournaments Perry

has finished in the top ten just once.

HARRINGTON IS A DIFFERENT CLASS TO HIS PLAYING PARTNERS DAY AND ESTES

Padraig Harrington has spent most of the season working on his swing and it finally appears to be coming good. But

for a few bad holes Harrington could quite easily have won both the Bridgestone Invitational and US PGA

Championship. Harrington will be keen to make a big impact in the playoffs and needs to start well as he currently lies

in 66th place. Today he plays with Jason Day and Bob Estes. No disrespect but these players are not in Harrington's

class and the 8/7 on offer at Betfair offers some value on the Irishman.

GOYA IS WELL OVER PRICED AND IS A STAR OF THE FUTURE ON THE EUROPEAN TOUR

Our final tip is from the European Tour. Tano Goya is a player we tipped just two weeks ago at 100/1 in the Moravia

Silesia Open. He was the first round leader that week but stumbled to finish T9. Gleneagles is a course which will suit

Goya's excellent ball striking. Today he plays with Garrido and Dinwiddie. Garrido has been playing well and is a real

threat but Dinwiddie has had a poor season and has missed four of his last six cuts. Bookmakers have given him too

much respect and both Goya and Garrido should be priced lower. However we are taking the 7/4 on offer for Goya.
