Bethpage: The first stop on the way to $10 million!

The Barclays at Bethpage Black

Unfortunately I haven’t been getting anytime to do my blog properly these past few weeks and this week is no different! However I didn’t want to miss the start of the Fed Ex Cup Play offs so I’ve thrown together a couple of paragraphs on whom I’ve picked.

They've been warned

First up is Sergio Garcia. Last week was epic, clutch golf at it’s best, he knew the Ryder Cup pick was probably on the line and went and got the job done. Medinah just wouldn’t have been the same without him; after all it’s pretty much where it all began for him. Last time Sergio picked up a win it was on the European Tour last year and he followed it up with a win the very next week, so I’m hoping he can do the same here, granted, it’s a much stronger opposition. He finished in a tie for 10^th at Bethpage when the US Open was here in 2009 and with his confidence levels sky high I think he’s a decent each way alternative to Rors and Tiger at the head of the market.

Bubba Watson is next up for a pick. I also had a few quid on him in the USPGA but he didn’t seem to be able to put everything together. But I’m sticking to my guns that he will pick up another win this season and fancy he could do well this week. He has had a successful season, major win, a couple of runners up finishes and a couple of other Top 5’s, a win in the Fed Ex Cup Play offs would top off his season nicely.

Ian Poulter is my third and final pick. His start to the final round at Kiawah Island was ridiculous! Birdies everywhere, although he faded a little in the end a Top 3 finish has pretty much guaranteed him a spot at Medinah with a Captains Pick. But with Ollie’s picks not until next Monday, Poults will want to put on another show here. He was in the Top 20 here in 2009, but with confidence sky high like Sergio’s, he could well post another Top 5 at decent odds.
