Another week on The PGA Tour and this week were at Dublin,Ohio for The Memorial Tournament played at Muirfield Village Golf Club,also known as ''Jacks Place''as the tournament is hosted by non other than Jack Nicklaus.As long as Jack host's this tournament you can expect a stellar field with Tiger Woods(injured) and US Open winner Graham McDowell(defending at Celtic Manor)the only major absentee's.
The course itself is a beaut-designed by Jack Nicklaus himself its a par 72 at over 7265 yards long with four par 5s.Alot of bunkers and water on 13 of the 18 holes means accuracy is at a premium here.As its a Nicklaus designed course,expect players to have some margin for error off the tee but with some of the smallest greens on tour a player with great GIR and scrambling stats are what we are looking for.Also a rookie has never won this event so somewhere between experienced to grizzled vet fits our bill.

So who's on the tee this week!!!
KJ CHOI(29s Bet365)
The Players champ is having one of his best ever years on tour and I think it's going to get a whole lot better.Already a winner at Sawgrass he also has an 8th at The Masters,7th at Northern Trust,6th at Bay Hill and a 3rd at The Zurich.Out of the 11 times he's played here at Muirfield he has finished in the top 15 5 times winning once in 07.Choi has been vocal about the fact he feels confident as ever with his golf swing which is what you want to hear before you put your cash down!8th on tour for scrambling and with the form he's showing he has to be on my team.
RYAN MOORE(44s Betfair)
Ryan is a guy who is showing signs that a win is not too far away.Out of 10 events played this year he has only missed the cut once with two top 10 finishes.But it's his course form here that catches my eye 31-2-10-cut-5(last year)that's 3 top 10's in 5 attempts and when I dug a little deeper I found that Ryan had this to say about the event ''It's my favourite tournament all year as far as our PGA Tour events are concerned.I always look forward to it so much that I have a good attitude when I'm out there and play hard and have fun''encouraging!!!On a course that suits ball strikers that can putt,Ryan is 39th in total driving and 6th in total putting....I'm expecting a big week from him this week!!
BO VAN PELT(55s Betfair)
Been keeping my eye on BVP lately and backed him at odds of 80to1 when 3rd at Colonial two weeks ago(see colonial write up)A guy who blows hot and cold but when he's hot you have to stick with him.7 times he's tee'd it up here and has two top 10's to his name finishing 3rd last year...impressive!A great driver of the ball(13th total driving)but also he's 36th in GIR percentage which has him at 18th on tour for ball striking...that's also pretty impressive!!And with a putter thats starting to heat up over recent weeks BVP could be MVP!!
STEWART CINK(44s Betfair)
Stewart drives me mad sometimes as he tends to get off to a great start and then fades away mid tournament.But there is signs that his new swing changes are coming to fruition as 12th 9th and 16th in his last 3 tournaments show.So I'm going to stick with Stewart this week as his course form here is super impressive.Out of 15 events played here he has finished in the top ten 6 times and his form line since 2001 reads 4-9-6-40-45-12-5-30-8-8 how good is that!!!Out of 13 events played this year he has made the cut 11 times with 6 top 25s and if this major winner is to win this year then ''Jacks Place'' might just hold his best chance!
Other players to go well:
Luke Donald(11s betfair)Not much to say here,world no1 and could win anywhere,odds to short!!
Matt Kucher(20s betfair)Having a great season,3 top 10s out of 6 tries here...finds it hard to win!!
Players for trading purposes:
Spencer Levin(150s betfair)
Vaughn Taylor(240s betfair)
Mark Wilson(140s betfair)
Kevin Streelman(250s betfair)
BEST OF LUCK!!!
