In saying that the two players to follow this week are:

Jim Furyk at $26

Furyk is having an awesome season on tour this year with 8 Top 10?s from his 17 starts. Some of those include 2nd RBC Canadian Open, 2nd The Players Championship and 2nd Wells Fargo Championship.

The World No.5 player is also currently ranked 5th in the FedEx Cup standings.

His form speaks for itself when you also look at his Majors results this year. T14th The Masters, T12th US Open, 4th The Open and T5th PGA Championships. Those are some very impressive results.

Looking at his stats you will also notice that his game is idea for this course where he was T12th back in 2008. At present Jim is ranked 6th in driving accuracy, 26th in greens in regulation, 1st in scrambling, 45th in ball striking and 5th in scoring average. So even when his ball does stray from the fairway he has no problem getting back into contention.

At odds of 25/1 Furyk represents an excellent each way selection who is ready to show his class during the FedEx Cup play offs.

Ryan Moore $67

For those of you looking for a little more value then have a close look at Ryan Moore. The World No.37 is on the radar this week due to his current stats which see him ranked 14th in driving accuracy, 12th in greens in regulation and 20th in ball striking.
Ryan is hitting the ball really well at the moment and having a player seeing the ball so well is a big tick when it comes to finding the winner.

This year Moore has had 17 starts for 5 Top 10 finishes which include T5th Travelers Championship, T7th John Deere Classic and T8th WGC Bridgestone Invitational.

Expect to see him up there on the leader board heading into Sunday.

Good luck and good punting.
