CLICK HERE TO BET ON GOLF TODAY AT BETUS.COM —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n While birdies and eagles galore can be fun to watch, easy courses make betting tougher, as they level the playing field. Let\u2019s try and sort through the best potential picks of the week.<\/p>\n Justin Rose<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Hope Classic odds: +1850<\/p>\n He finished 2009 strong and his torrid play has carried into 2010 so far; his last round was a 64 on Sunday at the Sony Open. He also finished third the last time he played this tournament (2007) and should attack the pin all weekend long.<\/p>\n Ryan Moore<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Hope Classic odds: +1850<\/p>\n He isn\u2019t a household name but his steady iron play matches up well in this tourney. He also looked good two weeks ago at the SBS Championship, finishing sixth. It\u2019s just too bad that he doesn\u2019t offer better value; after all, he\u2019s missed the cut in two of his last three Bob Hope Classics. Chad Campbell<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Hope Classic odds: +2550<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be surprised if Campbell gets the most sportsbook support of anyone this week. He won this tourney in 2006, finished ninth last year and carries decent momentum into this weekend after shooting 66 on Sunday at the Sony Open. Explain to me why he has worse odds than Moore again?<\/p>\n Mike Weir<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Hope Classic odds: +2050<\/p>\n If he offered slightly better sportsbook value, he\u2019d be an easy choice this week. He won the Bob Hope Classic in 2003 and finished third last year. The forecast calls for rain this week and Weir has a knack for nestling balls close to the pin in wet conditions.<\/p>\n John Merick<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Hope Classic odds: +6550<\/p>\n That\u2019s awfully good value for last year\u2019s runner up, isn\u2019t it? Merick led the field in greens in regulation at the Sony Open last week; with his accuracy on, he could post some low scores. Honorable sleeper mention goes to John Senden, who clocks in at +3250.<\/p>\n Given his solid iron play and ability to adapt to inclement weather, I have a great feeling about Mike Weir\u00a0 this week. If you prefer the big value play, consider a Merick or Senden, but Weir is the educated pick.<\/p>\n Pick: Mike Weir +2050<\/p>\n Looking for 2010 Bob Hope Classic Tee Times<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n <\/strong> Preview and free golf picks for the 2010 Bob Hope Classic, which is hosted by four courses this year including PGA West in LA Quinta California.
