The Barclays Tips: Graham DeLaet
If it wasn’t for sickness at Firestone he’d be arriving in New Jersey on the back of three top-15 finishes.
Graham DeLaet did us a massive favour in The Barclays last year when he came from nowhere to finish T2 at 175/1.
Those crazy prices on the Canadian are long gone but we could be about to cash our first win bet on the 32-year-old.
Ranked number 1 on tour for ball striking he shouldn’t remain win-less for much longer and he arrives in New Jersey in good form.
In his last three tournaments he has gone T7-WD-T15 unfortunately he withdrew after three rounds at Firestone due to illness but if he’d been 100% a top-10 finish was likely.
After 4 days of being sick, doing some BBQ'ing and drinking a cold beer. The kid is back!

With no long-term fitness concerns over his withdrawal and a T15 finish at the USPGA we can back DeLaet with confidence at 70/1 (Bet365).
