LAST WEEK<\/strong>: We were close but no cigar again at the Valero Texas Open. Martin Laird finished ninth after he could only get one round into the 60s. We\u2019re not missing by a mile, so we should hit on a pick soon if we stay the course.<\/p>\n

THIS WEEK\u2019S PGA BETTING
\nDate: April 21 – 24
\nEvent: The Heritage
\nCourse: Harbour Town Golf Links, Hilton Head, South Carolina
\nPurse: $5,700,000
\nDefending Champ: Jim Furyk
\nWinning Share: $1,026,000
\nFedEX Cup Points Up For Grabs: 500 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Heritage, played at Harbour Town Golf Links, isn\u2019t one of the Tour\u2019s most intimidating stops. Its greens are hard to hit but players aren\u2019t punished if they miss, as the course was among the Tour\u2019s easiest in scrambling and putting last year. So we should expect players to go double-digits under par, as Jim Furyk did en route to victory last season.<\/p>\n

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

Luke Donald <\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +815<\/p>\n

You could almost make a case for better odds than +815 in Donald\u2019s case. He\u2019s having a great season, with four straight top-10 finishes. He leads the Tour in adjusted scoring average and putting. But he even has the track record at the Heritage going for him, placing in the top three two years running. Very tempting even at the low value.<\/p>\n

Matt Kuchar<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +1015<\/p>\n

Kuchar has been good pretty much all season, with six top-10s in nine starts on the year, but he just can\u2019t get over the hump. He\u2019s made six straight cuts at Harbour Town but hasn\u2019t been dominant. His breakthrough week in 2011 is coming but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s this week.<\/p>\n

Jim Furyk<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +1415<\/p>\n

Furyk\u2019s win last year wasn\u2019t a fluke; he\u2019s also been the runner up twice and finished fourth at the Heritage. Though he\u2019s heating up, with three straight top-25s, he hasn\u2019t really come close to winning this season. I think 2011 is his back-to-Earth season.<\/p>\n

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

Rickie Fowler<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +1850<\/p>\n

Do you believe in the young gun? He was eighth at last year\u2019s Heritage and really sizzled on the final day, birdying seven holes. Still, he has only two top-10s all season. I call him overrated until he proves otherwise. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aaron Baddeley<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +2050<\/p>\n

Baddeley won the Heritage in 2006 and has never finished worse than 25th<\/sup> there. The solid ball striker also has a win on Tour already this season. He\u2019s a reasonable play if you want to try a former winner but one who offers better value than Furyk.<\/p>\n

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

Brian Gay<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +3550<\/p>\n

If it isn\u2019t Donald this week, Brian Gay looks awfully good. He crushed everyone to win by nine strokes in 2009, shooting 67 or better in every round. Gay also leads the 2011 Tour in fairways, scrambling and sand saves. The only strike on him is that he doesn\u2019t enter this week hot; Gay has one top-20 in his last six starts.<\/p>\n

Brandt Snedeker<\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +3550<\/p>\n

Snedeker only works as pick if you don\u2019t believe in past history at a host course, as he hasn\u2019t fared well at the Heritage (to put it lightly). But he\u2019s second on Tour in putting and he\u2019s fresh off his fourth top-10 finish this season. You could do worse.<\/p>\n

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

Ricky Barnes <\/strong>
\nHeritage odds: +5050<\/p>\n

Barnes was fifth at Harbour Town in 2010 and flashed great all-around play, cracking the top 10 in putting and birdies. He isn\u2019t on top of his game now, however; he\u2019s broken 70 just once in his last 12 rounds.<\/p>\n

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

I see this week as a two-horse race between Donald and Gay. Both have outstanding peripherals for the tournament. Even though he offers considerably less value, I\u2019ll go with Donald, as he\u2019s having the better season than Gay on top of the good history at Harbour Town.<\/p>\n

Heritage prediction: <\/strong>Luke Donald +815<\/p>\n
