Frys.com Open Golf Tips: Tommy Gainey
Ungainly swing prevents him from getting the support he deserves. He arrives from a T3 finish in Vegas.
One of the great characters on the PGA Tour, Tommy Gainey is much more then a novelty act, he is a seriously talented golfer. Commonly known as ‘Two Gloves’, he wears extra thick gloves on both hands, a throwback to when he played baseball.
Often discounted due to his unorthodox swing - a commentator once likened it to “trying to kill a snake with a garden hose”. He is frequently under bet in tournaments. Put aside your swing snobbery because at 60/1 (Betfred) he is cracking value.
In his first season on the main tour, he has risen from 239th in the world to number 86, a measure of his progress in 2011. With his tour card assured, he can enjoy this Fall series without added pressure.
A T3 last week was his third top-10 of the season, proof he is in good form. Although this is his first visit to CordeValle, Gainey tends to thrive on the easier courses where scrambling isn’t as important. The big greens should ensure he is on the putting surface more often than not.
At 60/1 with Betfred, back him each way and get ¼ odds for a top five finish. Plus if he finishes second to Tiger Woods we get our money back.
