I gamble for amusement to see if I can stay ahead, and give me a group to cheer for in a tournament, not to try to really make money so my wagers are not huge.

Were talking $30 total here,  hoping one of them get top 8, which puts me in positive. 
$1.50 Win + $1.50 (Top 8, 1/5 odds)

Chez Reavie - 100-1.    If he wins I get $183, if he tops 8 I get $31.
Tom Lewis - 140-1  ($255, $44)
Corey Connors - 150-1
Adam Hadwin - 175-1
McKenzie Hughes - 250-1
Si woo KIm - 250-1
Lanto Griffin - 300-1 ($453, $92)
Cameron Smith - 300-1
Nick Taylor - 400-1
Danny Lee - 400-1

I took the 4 Canadians, largely because they are canadians, but they are decent value for players in the top 100 in the world.   Hughes has had three top 6 finishes in fairly strong fields since March.    Hadwin has heaters in him.   Connors has about 10 top 25's this year, but can't seem to crack the top 10 -- good ball striker though and from what I understand this is not a crazy putting course.    Taylor just won at pebble so maybe he is comfortable in the Northern California air being from BC - I'm getting 80-1 on top 8.

Reavie has played quite well the past few years -- did slump since the start of the 2019/20 season but has had some good starts recently.  Tom Lewis and Si Woo Kim are players that are very inconsistent, but when they do well, they do well.    Cameron Smith - he stinks this year, but I figure at some point he can turn it around -- 300-1 on a player at #51 in the world is pretty good, that also has two top 5 finishes in majors in his career.

Lanto Griffin and Danny Lee - no real reason, seemed like good roll of the dices.

EDIT - It was not Tom Lewis that I took -- it was Matthew Wolff at 125-1.  Another player that has been inconsistent, but when he is on seems to be on.
