Northern Trust Open Tips: Bill Haas
Winner last year and arrives in similar form, with two top-10 finishes in his last two starts.
Bill Haas arrives at Riviera CC in exactly the same sort of form that saw him triumph last year, and at 33/1 (Stan James) he looks excellent value to defend his title.
The 30-year-old has finished in the top ten on his last two starts and looks in great form. If we compare his build up to the Northern Trust Open, it is almost identical to last season.

? Northern Trust Open
Bill Haas is considered one of the best ball-strikers on tour, he ranks 28th for driving accuracy and 9th for GIRs in 2013. This is good news, considering both aspects are severely tested at Riviera CC.
Having registered a win on tour in each of the last three seasons, Haas is the type of player you can rely on getting at least one victory in 2013. At 33/1 he is a great each-way bet with Stan James paying an extra place, with ¼ odds for a top-6 finish.
