PGA Golf betting<\/strong><\/a> fans will also have plenty golf action to focus on as this year\u2019s Fed Ex Cup Championship and another Major is just around the corner. <\/p>\n LAST WEEK:<\/strong> Three weeks ago, I correctly picked Steve Stricker to win the Memorial. My next two picks, Sergio Garcia at the St. Jude and K.J.Choi at the U.S. Open, missed the cut. Go figure. It\u2019s back to the drawing board as the Travelers Championship arrives.<\/p>\n June 23 – 26, 2011 If you didn\u2019t like seeing Rory McIlroy finish 16-under at a \u201cmajor\u201d last week, you might want to look away from the final leaderboard of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands this week. <\/p>\n The last 17 winners at this short little track have finished double-digits under par.<\/p>\n Hunter Mahan <\/strong> No one owns the Travelers like Hunter Mahan, who won it in 2007, is a two-time runner up and has a fourth-place finish there. His putting is decent enough to keep him in the mix at TPC River Highlands and his ball-striking is fourth-best on Tour.<\/p>\n Nick Watney <\/strong> Despite missing the cut at the U.S. Open, Watney has seven top-10 finishes in 12 tries overall this season. His peripheral ball-striking, putting and scoring numbers all place him in the top 16 on Tour. Still, Watney has cooled off significantly. His hot run may be over.<\/p>\n Bubba Watson<\/strong> Bubba won the Travelers last season, capitalizing on his sizzling putter and length advantage over virtually everyone in the field. He also has two other top-15 finishes at the Travelers, so last year was no fluke. However, we all know Watson is a streaky player. Fact is, he\u2019s cold right now, with four straight finishes outside the top 40.<\/p>\n Bo Van Pelt<\/strong> Van Pelt is an underwhelming but solid pick this week. His game in a good place at the moment; he has three straight top-15 finishes, including the U.S. Open. He\u2019s cracked the top-10 twice in his last four starts at TPC River Highlands. Van Pelt is decent play but he certainly doesn\u2019t leap off the page.<\/p>\n Brandt Snedeker<\/strong> The last few months have been among Brandt Snedeker\u2019s best as a pro. He already has a win this season and has three straight top-20s. More importantly, he\u2019s among the very best putters on Tour and putting is paramount at the Travelers. I like him more than the identically valued Van Pelt.<\/p>\n Zach Johnson<\/strong> You can never go wrong picking Zach Johnson on a tight track. His game just suits this type of course perfectly. While Johnson hasn\u2019t been great of late, he\u2019s a top-10 guy in fairways and putting. I\u2019m taking him very seriously.<\/p>\n Webb Simpson <\/strong> Webb Simpson has quietly been one of the Tour\u2019s more consistent players of late, cracking the top 25 six times in his last seven starts. He\u2019s also been on the cusp of victory, posting two runner-up finishes this season. His ball-striking stats match up similarly to the popular pick Mahan. Could he finally break through this week?
