Dustin Johnson 14\/1 \u00a9 James Kennedy<\/p><\/div>\n

The PGA Tour rocks up at the TPC Four Seasons Resort for the Byron Nelson Championship. The 18-hole, par-70 course measures 7,166 yards and has recently received a major redesign by former PGA Tour player DA Weibring and Steve Wolfard of Golf Resources Group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new layout was designed to be a tough challenge for professional golfers, while still giving recreational players a course that they too could enjoy playing and not be overwhelmed by.<\/p>\n

Originally designed by Jay Morrish with player consultancy from Byron Nelson himself along with Ben Crenshaw. The course opened for play in 1983, it features rolling hills, indigenous oak and mesquite trees, numerous bunkers and small scenic lakes on a number of the holes including the two finishing holes.<\/p>\n

My tips to win:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dustin Johnson 14\/1 \u2013 with StanJames \u2013<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0took a couple of weeks off after his disappointing finish at the Players Championship. But if you look back over the two tournaments before the Players they were the first time that he had finished outside of the Top 6 \u2013 apart from a missed cut \u2013 in six starts and maybe the six month ban from the tour and the mental fatigue of competing each week had taken its toll. But after a rest I think we will see Johnson back in the thick of it again come Sunday<\/p>\n

\"Jason<\/a>

Jason Day 18\/1 \u00a9 Keith Allison<\/p><\/div>\n

One player who seems to get his scheduling right is\u00a0Jason Day 18\/1 \u2013 with StanJames \u2013<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0which made that 81 at The Players to miss the cut a very big surprise. Jason has a win and three other Top 5s this year from ten starts and the Australian\u2019s first win on the PGA Tour came in the 2010 Byron Nelson Championship, so this tournament must hold a special significance for Jason who I expect to do well here this week.
\n
\nCharley Hoffman 35\/1 \u2013 with Bet365 \u2013<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has had a couple of Top 10 finishes over the TPC Four Season track. Hoffman has been playing well since the Texas Open at the end of March, when he went on to have three Top 15 finishes on the spin which included his ninth place finish at The Masters. Charley was back inside the Top 10 at last week\u2019s Invitational at Colonial and I expect him to be in one of the final pairings this weekend.
\n
\nMy each-way tips:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I did tip\u00a0Ryan Palmer 40\/1 \u2013 with BetVictor \u2013<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0last week but he went and missed the cut \u2013 his second in a row \u2013 in fact he has not played well in his last four events after getting off to a great start earlier in the year. Ryan had only been outside the Top 25 once from his first seven starts, that include three Top 10s and a runners-up. Palmer does have a runners-up finish in this event and a couple of Top 25s, but he has also missed several cuts, but if he gets off to a good start like he has done before on this track, then I expect him to see it through and be challenging this week.<\/p>\n

\"Marc<\/a>

Marc Leishman 40\/1 \u00a9 Keith Allison<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s been a bit of a rollercoaster year for Australian\u00a0Marc Leishman 40\/1 \u2013 with Bet365 \u2013<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0he has missed three cuts so far this year, but he seems to have got himself together and over his last four events he\u2019s had a Top 10 finish at the WGC Match-Play and started well in last weeks Invitational at Colonial where he opened with a 66. Marc had a third place finish here last year and has only been outside the Top 12 once since 2009, so look out for him to come back to form this week.<\/p>\n

My outside tips:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are a couple of good outside bets this week\u00a0Danny Lee 125\/1 \u2013 with Coral \u2013<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has started to come into form and he has had two Top 20s on this track, but I am going to plummet for a player I tipped last week,\u00a0Jason Dufner 100\/1 \u2013 with BetFred \u2013<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Jason has a win and a Top 10 here in the last four years and it looks like he has started to get his head back on his golf. Dufner had a couple of good rounds at last weeks Invitational at Colonial and coming back to a track he seems to enjoy will hopefully kick in some positive vibes and I think he\u2019s worth a shout at these odds.<\/p>\n
