HOMA / KISNER - 7/1 £10 WIN BET
Kisner in this format is always a no brainer bet he won the Dell Match Play for us back in 2019 at 80/1.
I feel that Homa will be a perfect match for Kevin this week and these two could take a lead and not look back. Just like I picked the winners here last year in Matt Kuchar and Harris English and they won it by nine strokes so was a nice watch on the Sunday getting our last win of 2020.
Not much else to add they should make a great match and will be making plenty of birdies.
£10 Win bet here at 7/1 with SkyBet
CONNERS / MCDOWELL - 11/1 £10 EACH WAY BET
I also like the look of this pair this week OK so McDowell has not been playing his best stuff of late in 72 hole stroke events but in this format he will be a tough cookie to beat and with the young Conners to feed off this could be just the tonic he needs to spark another winning season off for 2022.
Graeme did win the Saudi International last year so the winning is still in his blood. Conner’s on the other hand is looking hot this season. We were with his group over the weekend at the Masters this year we were very impressed with what we saw and it was a great top ten finish in the end. His recent run of results have also been pretty good reading.
- Northern Trust – 8TH
- Tour Champs – 17TH
- Sanderson – 17TH
- RSM Classic – 22ND
I feel this partnership could be a dream team waiting for action and at 11’s I feel it is worth a few pounds.
Am going to go for a £10 EW bet here Sky Bet paying 3 places
