Find Me A 100 Winner / Paul Krishnamurty / 10 November 2009 /

Veteran golfer needs something big to save his PGA Tour card and that makes him this week's three-figure bet

As I have repeatedly pointed out in recent weeks, it really is imperative at this time of year to keep an eye on those players in the middle of a desperate battle to retain their playing privileges. Every winner during the Fall Series so far began the week below the critical 125th place cut line, and in 2008, all six winners began the series below that mark.

Can this remarkable run continue, in this week's final event of the season, the Children's Miracle Network Classic? Given the nature of the event; played on the Disney resort courses of Palm and Magnolia and always producing very low scoring; I see no reason why not. Six of the nine winners this century began the week in triple figures.

My pick amongst the outsiders is Dean Wilson at [170.0]. Wilson starts the week in 152nd place on the money list, and needing to produce something very special. However, the 39-year-old has proven before that he can win and regularly contend at this level, landing seven worldwide titles including one on the PGA Tour.

It's hard to make much of a case on 2009 form, except to say that a top-20 on his penultimate start was a notable improvement, and that recent weeks have seen Wilson register some excellent greens in regulation stats.

The veteran golfer was 21st on his last visit to Magnolia in 2005 was a respectable effort, and if he can conjure up his best form then this type of target golf affair would be ideal. Amongst this week's line-up, Wilson ranks first in 'birdie conversion' over the past three months, and inside the top-20 on the more important 'putting average' list. He's a longshot, but pressure does have a habit of bringing out the best in some people.
