Kevin Streelman, who was backed at 530.0529/1 to win the Puerto Rico Open, finished tied for eighth but he started too slowly on Thursday afternoon to ever really stand a chance of winning.

Streelman traded at no lower than 130.0129/1 but Adrian Otaegui, who was backed at 140.0139/1 to win the Joburg Open, hit a low of 9.08/1 in round three when he put in a charge after the turn.

Otaegui birdied the first two holes on Sunday to provide a bit of excitement and after a bogey at the sixth he birdied three in-a-row from the ninth, but any hopes were soon dashed when he double-bogeyed the par three 12^th and he eventually ended the week in a tie for sixth.

After three events last week, we've got just one to evaluate this week - the Players Championship - and I've picked out two players to back.

Players Championship bet #1 - Aaron Rai @ 130.0129/1

Aaron Rai looks a very fair price at 130.0129/1.  

The 31-year-old Englishman won the Abu Dhabi Championship on the DP World Tour as recently as November and, although he's only won once previously on the PGA Tour, his victory came in the event that appears to correlate best with this one.

As highlighted in the preview, form at Sedgefield Country Club, the home of the Wyndham Championship, holds up brilliantly at Sawgrass so the fact that Rai won there in 2024 and that he finished fifth when defending in August bodes well.

This is his fourth outing at Sawgrass and to date, he has a solid set of form figures reading 19-35-14.

Although he eventually finished only tied for 19^th after a 75 on Sunday when playing here for the first time in 2023, he sat fourth with 18 to play so he's shown he can play here.

His form figures since winning in Abu Dhabi are only ordinary, reading 41-5-73-28-23 but he was tied for the lead after the opening round on his penultimate start at the Genesis Invitational and he was inside the top six at halfway at the Cognizant Classic last time out.

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

Players Championship bet #2 - Ben Griffin @ 120.0119/1

Ben Griffin climbed all the way up to number eight in the Official World Rankings last year after three wins on the PGA Tour.

He partnered Andrew Novak to victory in the Zurich Classic before adding two more individual titles at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May and the World Wide Technology Championship in November.

An ordinary run of form this year has seen the 29-year-old slip to 13^th in the rankings, but the market may have overreacted, allowing him to drift out to a triple-figure price here.

Griffin has poor course form figures here reading 35-MC-MC, but he sat third after rounds one and two on the first occasion he played here in 2023 so it's a course he can play well and his Sedgefield numbers reading 4-MC-7-11, suggest he could easily improve on his form here to date.

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