About The South Course.

Course Description
The cream of the world’s golfing crop face a stern challenge every time they descend on the fabled Firestone Country Club. There’s no doubt the format will provide excitement. Firestone has a rich history of testing the world’s best players, which it did for 22 years as the site of the World Series of Golf and now the present home of the World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational.....read everything there is to know about the course here!
Tommy Fleetwood
With all the heavy hitters here this week Tommy Fleetwood sits at a nice price of at 30/1 in the betting. He must be chomping at the bit to win a big tournament, and is in good form with 3 top 10's in his last 4 starts. He is the one for me this week.
If not Tommy then maybe one of these will bag this weeks jackpot.
Patrick Cantlay PGA Tour stats....click the pic
Another player who's star is steadily rising, and seems to be able to compete with the best is Patrick Cantlay. 12th place recently at The Open should mean he isn't preoccupied about his form so should go well at 60/1.
Brookes Koepka PGA Tour stats....click the pic
Brookes Koepka has more than enough ability to win this type of event. Last weeks missed cut might mean he is on a downward trend, but I am still going to favour him week. He is 30/1.
Patrick Reed PGA Tour stats....click the pic
Masters champion Patrick Reed is in decent form and might just go well this week. He is within sniffing distance of golfs world elite and we already know how highly he rates himself. His price is good at 50/1.

Performance last week
Back down to earth with a bump last week. I got the call wrong about Kevin Kisner's form continuing after The Open.....it didn't! The best I managed was Joel Dahmen T8 at 100/1 with Harold Varner III T17 at the same price. Elsewhere planetgolfreview.com got the winner Dustin Johnson so congratulations there.
