The Byron Nelson Championship is one of the golfers favourite and most competitive events on the tour every year, and this year it should be no different with many of the big names making an appearance in Texas this week. With first place guarenteed over one million dollars, the action will hopefully be very exciting.
Ian Poulter is this weeks favourite accoring to Bet365, coming in at a healthy 14/1. The Englishman is one of the form men of 2009 with six top 25 finishes and three top ten finishes already this year. He is a very clean hitter of the ball, and with accuracy always a major on this course he is very likely to go close.
However, for me the man to watch out for is Justin Leonard. Last year he finished in the top twenty, and were it not for a horrible third round he would probably have got in the top ten. This year, with a slightly weaker field and more experience on the course on his side, I reckon he could go rather close this week. Leonard (Outright) - 22/1.
Another who played in last years competition and is competing again this week is young hotshot Anthony Kim. Alongside Leonard he tied for 19th last year, and as with Leonard he is going to be competiting with considerably more experience and confidence on his side. He may not be able to win this week, with Adam Scott, Poulter, Leonard and Vijay Singh, all in the mix, however, a top five finish is definetely within his grasp. Kim (Top 5 Finish) - 7/1.
