23rd Sep 2014 | Ryder Cup
Top European Points Scorer: Ian Poulter
12-3-0 record in the Ryder Cup and the competition brings the best out in him.
Ian Poulter was picked for the Ryder Cup because of his outstanding 12-3-0 record, a winning share of 80.0%.
The competition brings out the best in the Englishman therefore it is a surprise to see him only fourth in the European top points scorer betting.
He was a winning bet for us in this market two years ago and at a similar price he has to be backed.
The 38-year-old hasn’t enjoyed the best of seasons but his Ryder Cup record is more indicative of future performance than his stroke play record – they are different formats of the game.
Bet365 go a best price 8/1 but I recommend taking the 7/1 with Skybet because losing stakes are refunded if USA win the Ryder Cup.
