Keen to take on Jim Knous. He’s out of his depth. 15 missed cuts in his previous 18 events tell the story. This round is huge. Come Sunday evening as the sunsets on Silverado he could be a PGA Tour player or he might not even have a card on the Korn Ferry. He won’t be wearing white trousers today.

Knous has relied heavily on his short game, and I doubt that can keep getting him out of trouble. He’ll play alongside co-leader McNealy who is a promising golfer with a bright future. He hails from California and was really cool in contention at Pebble Beach earlier in the season. McNealy has been in excellent form with Top 30 finishes in 7 of his last 8 events.

Max Homa is a favourite of mine having won at Riviera earlier in the season when I tipped him. His composure in contention that day was Tigeresque and comparisons have been made between that venue and Silverado. Homa grew up in California and is -12 with 18 holes to play, 2 shots behind co-leaders McNealey & Knous. McNealey has the potential but has yet to win on either the PGA Tour or Korn Ferry Tour. He looked shaky when holding the lead yesterday and it was only once he found himself chasing that his game turned around.

Knous is a real surprise. He’d missed 15 of his previous 18 cuts. He’s relied heavily on his short game and putting this week. The pressure is huge on Knous. He’s playing for his livelihood today and his score will determine his future. I doubt he slept well. Homa shot a superb 65 (-7) yesterday and has gained 7.3 Strokes Tee to Green this week, 2nd in the field. At 9/1 he looks the best bet ahead of the final round.

Has won 8 races at this distance and her recent form reads 11314 so she is experienced and consistent. Her odds of 5/1 suprise me and she is definately the one to be on here at the prices.

He has won 3 times at this distance so clearly has ability. He was hampered ast time out so his form is better than it looks and based on previous runs he should have a great chance at a decent price.

Last 3 races reads 221 so he is in the form and condition of his life. Looks to be progressing with every run and he is up against moderate form here. He win last out was over course and distance so he has all the conditions to suit here.
