Zurich Classic Tips: John Peterson
Has missed just one cut all season and has strong links with the area having played golf for Louisiana State University.
Having backed John Peterson at 175/1 earlier in the season I was reluctant to tip him at a third of the price but his case is compelling.
The 25-year-old has strong links to the area. He went to Louisiana State University and lived in Baton Rouge until his house flooded in 2014.
Although Peterson has moved back home to Texas, his links with the area are strong and according to Twitter he was playing in Louisiana just last week.
Great wk in BR. Thanks to Baton Rouge country club and the country club of Louisiana for having me out this week. See yall @Zurich_Classic.

A more settled home life and a return to his old club manufacturer has seen Peterson enjoy an upturn in fortunes.
He finished T18 at the RBC Heritage after getting in as second alternate and has only missed one cut all season.
I’d be kicking myself if he won and I hadn’t backed him at 55/1 (Bet365).
