Davis Love is trading at 120 to win the WGC Bridgestone Invitational
"Love's Firestone record really is extraordinary, dating back as far as 1991 when finishing second in the NEC World Series; the first of nine top-10s on this course. Even as his prospects have generally deteriorated over the last few years, Love has always managed to reserve his best for this event."
Tiger's in the field, so the big prices are huge. In his weekly search for a three-figure winner Paul Krishnamurty has singled out former major winner Love as the man to oblige at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational.
As usual, the presence of Tiger Woods in any field is enough to reduces all sorts of world-class players to the status of 'outsiders', bringing numerous big names into our targeted price range. [120.0] chance Davis Love may sound more like a big-name from yesteryear, but Tiger aside, nobody in this field can boast a record at Firestone that even begins to compare with his.
Love's Firestone record really is extraordinary, dating back as far as 1991 when finishing second in the NEC World Series; the first of nine top-10s on this course. Even as his prospects have generally deteriorated over the last few years, Love has always managed to reserve his best for this event. Of his last six visits from 2001 onwards, five produced top-six finishes, and the other a perfectly respectable 16th place.
Now 45, Love's very best days may be behind him, but he remains competitive at the highest level. His last victory came only nine months ago, and as recently as June he finished fifth behind Woods at the Memorial Tournament. Like many older players, the only thing that stops him most weeks is a cold putter, but with a little better fortune in that department he is well capable of making a mockery of these odds.
