THE US PGA tour heads for Korea tonight for the CJ Cup and second week of the Asian Swing.
The betting is dominated by Americans Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka and Australians Jason Day and Marc Leishman, who won the CIMB Classic on Sunday. However, I like the look of two others who offer better value at bigger prices.
The first is another Aussie, Cameron Smith, who finished third twice in the recent FedEx playoffs. He has the accuracy from the tee to make him a serious contender this week to record a maiden Tour victory.
The second selection is Korean An Byeong-hun who was also last week's selection. He finished tied 13th, eight shots behind the winner, but only three shots off second place. He'll be better suited to this course and can go close for a home victory.
