The European Tour heads to Lake Karrinyup Country Club in Perth, Australia, this week for the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth. Lee Westwood and Thorbjorn Olesen are the Vegas co-favorites at 22/1, followed closely by Jason Scrivener, Paul Peterson and others at 25/1.
Before you make any bets or enter any kind of fantasy tournament for this event, you'll want to hear what the team at SportsLine has to say.
SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, was all over Matt Kuchar at the Phoenix Open last week. Despite being a 40-1 long shot, the model projected him to be a top contender. The result: Kuchar shot finished tied for fifth. The week before, it nailed Alex Noren's surprising run in the Farmers Insurance Open.
Anybody who used their model has had plenty of great value selections to choose from this season.
Now that the field for the 2018 Handa World Super 6 Perth is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.
One golfer the model loves this week: Hideto Tanihara, who Vegas projects to finish tied for eighth, is in their top three, and makes a serious run at the title.Â
Tanihara is at top-75 player and finished 16 under at the Maybank Championship last week on his way to a top-five finish in that event. He's playing with a lot of confidence, and is a nice pick at 28/1 coming into this event.Â
One huge surprise the model is calling for: Olesen, a co-favorite according to Vegas, finishes outside of the top five. He's somebody to avoid this weekend.Â
Another curveball: Scrivener, who is tied with the second-best odds, doesn't even crack the top 20. He's another player to stay far away from.
Also, a long shot with 40/1 odds finishes surprisingly high in the model's projections and could lead to a huge payout for anybody who picks him. You can find out who that is, and get the entire projected leaderboard, only at SportsLine.
