Simpson has 10 top-10s on the year, so he\u2019s earned consistent-threat-to-contend status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THREE CONTENDERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Kuchar<\/strong><br \/>\nMcGladrey Classic odds: +1500<\/p>\n<p>Accuracy from tee to green at the Seaside Course is paramount this week and Kuchar has it in spades. He\u2019s won the most money of any golfer without a tournament victory this season. Isn\u2019t he due to finally win one? He doesn\u2019t enter the McGladrey hot, however, as he hasn\u2019t finished better than 20<sup>th<\/sup> in his last three starts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Toms<\/strong><br \/>\nMcGladrey Classic odds: +2500<\/p>\n<p>The always-accurate Toms is fifth on Tour in fairways hit and sixth in greens in regulation. He also tied for third at the McGladrey Classic last year and has been solid lately, finishing 10<sup>th<\/sup> and 16<sup>th<\/sup> in his last two outings. Rock-solid choice.  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/js.bettingpartners.com\/javascript.php?prefix=TcMlrmSOeQx0NlUPBLg0t2Nd7ZgqdRLk&amp;media=4399&amp;campaign=0\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles Howell III<\/strong><br \/>\nMcGladrey Classic odds: +2500<\/p>\n<p>Howell is a top-25 guy in driving accuracy and greens; he also set the course record last season with a 62 en route to a sixth-place finish. Like Kuchar, Howell feels due.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONE SLEEPER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bo Van Pelt<\/strong><br \/>\nMcGladrey Classic odds: +3000<\/p>\n<p>Van Pelt tied for sixth place with Howell last season and sizzled all week, posting only five holes over par. He clearly likes this course. Van Pelt also has two recent top-10 finishes and ranks eighth on Tour in total driving. He\u2019s a similar pick to Howell but at better sportsbook value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love the weeks when one guy screams at you to pick him. For me, it\u2019s Toms. His game is beautifully suited to the course; all the things he does consistently well are the things one needs to do to win this tournament. And it helps that Toms has played pretty well of late.<\/p>\n<p>Van Pelt and Howell make for interesting choices \u2013 but not when Tom offers more or less the same return on your investment. He\u2019s the safer choice to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2011 McGladrey Classic pick: <\/strong>David Toms +2500  <\/p>\n<p>Check in with CappersPicks.com Best Golf Betting Sportsbook Review daily for exclusive golf gambling site promotions and betting bonuses.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/golf\/index.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>LOOKING FOR PGA GOLF BETTING AND HANDICAPPING STATS?
