...... tries for the 5th time to make a cut on the PGA tour today, in the John Deere Classic, which gets under way in Illinois .
The 16 yo from Hawaii is already a multi millionaire from advertising contracts, on the day she turned professional Nike and Sony gave her contracts worth, a reported $10m per year. Nice work if you can get it !
Michelle missed the cut here last year by just two strokes, she might just make it this year but I see no value in the odds offered. However, her 3 ball interests me, there will be plenty of locker room "ribbing" for anyone losing to "The Big Wiesey", so expect Jeff Gove and Daisuke Maruyama to be extra motivated.
Gove is very inconsistent and my selection will be the Japanese golfer, a PGA tour rookie he finished third in qualifying school and is in good form. He has two top 20's in his last 5 outings including a 5th place finish in the Fedex. Good in opening rounds, his average for the last 6 tournaments is 69.5, he finished with a 66 in the Western Open last week, his lowest ever score on tour.
This is a course where driving accuracy is very important, Michelle has been a bit wayward off the tee recently, Maruyama is currently ranked 11th on tour in this category. He will be looking for a good finish here to cement his playing privileges for next season.
Pressure on Michelle and her long driving will have less impact against the men, especially on longer courses, I have to oppose her.
3 points Daisuke Maruyama to win his 3 ball (15.44 cet) 2.375 general......... might be bigger on betfair later.
Good Luck.
