Back him each-way at 30/1 with bet365 (1/4 odds, 5 places) Ben Griffin to outscore Keegan BradleyThere will come a point when Keegan Bradley’s focus on the Ryder Cup will become too much of a distraction.And perhaps that process has started after he missed the cut at last week’s Wyndham Championship.It still remains uncertain if Bradley will head to Bethpage Black as both US captain and team member so he has a lot going through his head as the September showdown looms.In which case I’ll back Ben Griffin as the 21/20 outsider with bet365 to beat Bradley in a 72-hole match. Griffin, who was 24th here on debut in 2023, hit form again with 11th at the Wyndham last week and Bradley hasn’t made the top 40 in each of his last five starts at TPC Southwind. Tip Ben Griffin to outscore Keegan Bradley at 21/20 with bet365 Daniel Berger for Top 5We landed a nice 15/2 payout in the Top 10 market last week as amateur Jackson Koivun finished in a tie for fifth at the Wyndham Championship.This week, with a field of just 70, let’s back course specialist Daniel Berger to have a top five at 8/1 with bet365.It’s an easy sell. Berger has played here five times since 2016 and his results read: 1-1-MC-2-5.
