LAST WEEK: Phil Mickelson got us halfway there before the wheels fell off over the weekend. The next thing we knew, Mark Wilson won the Phoenix Open. He\u2019s gone from no-name to two-time winner over a three-tournament span. I know it\u2019s frustrating when guys like Wilson and Jhonattan Vegas surprise us \u2013 but those are the exceptions, not the norms. Educated picks will be rewarded soon enough. Stay the course!<\/p>\n

THIS WEEK\u2019S PGA BETTING
\nDate: Feb. 10 – 13
\nEvent: AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
\nCourse: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pebble Beach, California
\nPurse: $6,300,000
\nDefending Champ: Dustin Johnson
\nWinning Share: $1,116,000
\nFedEX Cup Points Up For Grabs: 500<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pebble Beach Pro-Am will play very short this year and has notoriously small, tough-to-hit greens, so we should focus on accurate ball strikers who can hit greens this week.<\/p>\n

THE ELITE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dustin Johnson <\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +700<\/p>\n

No surprise to see Dustin Johnson favored here. He\u2019s the two-time defending champion at this event. While guys who hit greens fit the bill for success here, big hitters who can make birdies and eagles can also thrive. Johnson has been a top-30 guy and at least 10-under par to finish all three of his tournaments this year, so he\u2019s a fine pick.<\/p>\n

Phil Mickelson <\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +700<\/p>\n

Lefty joins Johnson with \u201celite\u201d odds for the second straight week. He last won the Pro-Am in 2007 but since then has a missed cut, a 55th<\/sup> and an eighth-place finish. His collapse last weekend is concerning. I\u2019m not sure a cold Mickelson at a 7 to 1 payout is the guy you want to pick when the two-time defending champ has the same odds.<\/p>\n

THE CONTENDERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nick Watney <\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +1600<\/p>\n

Track record tells us Watney isn\u2019t the play this week \u2013 he has one top-10 finish in seven attempts at this tournament. But if you like recent performance as your determining factor, it feels like Watney is due. He finished sixth and the Farmers Insurance Open and fifth at the Phoenix Open. He\u2019s flirting with victory.<\/p>\n

Geoff Ogilvy <\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +2000<\/p>\n

Ogilvy looked pretty sharp upon returning from his finger injury last week, going 67-66-67-71 en route to a 13th<\/sup>-place finish at the Phoenix Open. You never know when that putter of his will catch fire. Was last week\u2019s solid showing the calm before the storm?<\/p>\n

SOLID PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

J.B. Holmes<\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +3300<\/p>\n

Holmes has plenty going for him this week. He\u2019s hot, having finished fifth last week and led the field in birdies. He also finished second at last year\u2019s Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has never missed the cut there. The quintessential medium risk, medium-reward pick. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Wilson<\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +4000<\/p>\n

OK, Mark, you have our attention. Wilson hasn\u2019t accomplished anything special at Pebble Beach but we can\u2019t ignore his torrid play. He was downright dominant at Scottsdale last week, leading the field in greens in regulation and bogeying just four holes. Can he win for the third time this year?<\/p>\n

THE SLEEPER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom Gillis<\/strong>
\nPebble Beach Pro-Am odds: +10000<\/p>\n

Whoa, daddy! Have we ever had a 100-to-1 sleeper in this column? Despite his long-shot odds, Tom Gillis isn\u2019t a total stab in the dark. He led the Tour in birdie average last season and was 11th<\/sup> in birdies or better on Par 5s. If you feel lucky, maybe he\u2019s your man.<\/p>\n

THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m tempted to go for broke with Tom Gills. But doing so would be contradicting the advice I gave at the top of this article: to stay the course. Picking Gillis is reactionary, overthinking things because too many no-names are winning tournaments. Let\u2019s stick to our principle of making the truly educated pick. This week, I believe that means picking J.B. Holmes.<\/p>\n
