Find Me a 100 Winner: Three long-shots chanced at between 239/1 and 469/1

This week the DP World Tour pitches up in China for the second edition of the Hainan Classic and I've got one selection there, as well as two picks in the Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour.

Hainan Classic bet - Ashun Wu @ 240.0239/1

Ashun Wu only finished 40^th in the inaugural edition of the Hainan Classic last year but he'd won the China Open for a second time the week before so a flat performance can be excused.

The 40-year-old can't be described as being in red-hot form, given he's missed his last two cuts, in Bahrain and Qatar, but he's a five time winner on the DP World Tour. The only time he's really advertised his wellbeing before a victory was eight years ago when he finished sixth in the European Masters a week before he won the KLM Open.

His other four victories have all come out of the blue, so I was happy to ignore his current form, and the fact that he's won twice in his homeland bodes well.

Valspar Championship bet #1 - Chandler Blanchet @ 280.0279/1

The 30-year-old Floridian, Chandler Blanchet, is a player rapidly on the rise and he's one to keep an eye on.

He gained promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour in 2023, after his second and third victories on the Latinoamérica Tour saw him top the points list. Following victories in the Korn Ferry Tour Championship and the Price Cutter Charity Championship last year, he now plies his trade on the PGA Tour.

Blanchet started the year slowly with five missed cuts in-a-row but he hit the ground running at the Puerto Rico Open last time out, leading by four at halfway, after opening rounds of 64 and 67.

He hit the buffers in round three with a sorry 74 before bouncing back nicely on Sunday to fire another 67 but it wasn't quite enough to reel in the 54 hole leader, Ricky Castillo.

A week off to reflect on his near miss won't have done any harm and a return to his home state may be a big plus too.

Valspar Championship bet #2 - Emiliano Grillo @ 470.0469/1

Argentina's Emiliano Grillo isn't in great form, but the two-time PGA Tour winner has found form from seemingly nowhere many times previously and I'm happy to chance him at a huge price.

Grillo missed his first three cuts here before finishing 22^nd last year and his poor course record is a little surprising given how well he's played courses that correlate nicely to this one.

As highlighted in the preview, form at Waialae Country Club, Colonial, and Deere Run tends to stand up well here and Grillo has prospered at all three.

He finished seventh in the Sony Open two years ago at Waialae, he has an eighth, a third and a victory at Colonial and, although he's only played Deere Run three times, he's twice finished second in the John Deere Classic there, most recently in July last year.
