• Column came close to 100.099/1 winner last time out

• Home contingent chanced in Queensland

Close with last week's pick 

Last week's 100.099/1 pick in the RSM Classic, Andrew Novak, comfortably met his first lay back target when he led by four strokes during the second round (hit a low of 2.447/5).

He led the tournament by a stroke at halfway, but he lost his way after that, eventually finishing tied for seventh, beaten by five.

Sami Valimaki finished the week in front and that was slightly frustrating too given he was a 130.0129/1 column pick when he'd finished tied for second at the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico at the start of the month.

So that's a couple of close calls this month, maybe we can nail a winner Down Under? I've picked out two.

Australian PGA Championship bet #1 - David Micheluzzi @ 150.0149/1

Given Harold Varner is the only winner of the event this century not to be Australian, it makes sense to concentrate on the home contingent and the first of my two Aussie picks is the four-time PGA Tour of Australia winner, David Micheluzzi.

The 29-year-old hasn't had the greatest of seasons on the DP World Tour, and he needed to make the cut in his final event, the Genesis Championship, to make sure he kept his card (finished 109^th in the standings) but it's impossible to ignore his impressive course form.

Micheluzzi has won three of the last 14 tournaments he's played in on home soil and he has course form figures in this event reading 9-6-18-5 so I was pleasantly surprised to see him trading at as big as 150.0149/1.

Place order to lay 8 Us @ 10.09/1 and 12 Us @ 2.01/1 

Australian PGA Championship bet #2 - Curtis Luck @ 150.0149/1

The 29-year-old Australian, Curtis Luck, hasn't tasted victory since he won on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020 and it's nine years since he won the Western Australian Open before he'd turned pro.

Having won both the US Amateur and the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in 2016, Luck was the number one ranked amateur in the world when he won Down Under for the first time and it's perhaps a little surprising that he's still in search of win number two on home soil.

Luch didn't play in any events at all in Australia between 2018 and 2023 but his form figures at home in the last two years reads 4-3-36-66-2-3-8-6.

He traded at as short as 1.42/5 in-running when runner-up in next week's event - the Australian Open - when a column selection at 150.0149/1 last year so I was more than happy to chance him again here at the same price.

Having finished eighth and sixth in his last two starts, he arrives in Queensland in fair form and although he finished only 66^th in last year's weather-shortened renewal, he was fourth two years ago so we know the venue suits.

Place order to lay 8 Us @ 10.09/1 and 12 Us @ 2.01/1
