Albertsons Boise Open Tips: Harold Varner
Ranked second for driving distance and GIRs. Should be able to win when the putter gets hot.
Hillcrest Country Club has hosted the Albertsons Boise Open since 1990 and not a huge amount has changed.
The par-71 course measures a manageable 6,807 yards and is eminently scoreable. In the last ten years the winning score has been 20-under or better on six occasions.
Jason Kokrak blasted his way to victory in 2011 and Harold Varner III has the same tools at his disposal.
The 22-year-old is ranked second on tour for driving distance and second for GIRs, he’ll create plenty of opportunities this week and just needs the putts to drop.
Sat 24th on the money list, Varner needs some good results to gain his PGA Tour card and although he’s gone off the boil slightly he did finish second at the Rex Hospital Open at the end of May.
At 80/1 (Paddy Power) he is a cracking each-way bet with ¼ odds for a top-5 finish.
