Gamingtips Tips:
Steve Stricker (20/1) is currently 8th in the FedExCup and with 3 second placed finishes this season, he is sure to be there or thereabouts come Sunday.
Lee Westwood has been inconsistent of late but because of that odds of 40/1 are available and he may be worth a punt from an each-way perspective.
Tee times will be updated when they come available.
