Our Top 3 (based on the odds = value): Zach Johnson played consistently well last season and may well be overpriced at odds of 50/1.
Hunter Mahan has been hit and miss for the last 12 months however when he is on form he has shown he can compete with the best players in the world and he could feature at odds of 60/1
Steve Stricker drastically cut down the number of tournament he plays in last season however he is still very consistent and can handle tough courses like Pinehurst very well.
