It's the final PGA Tour event ahead of the US Open, taking place at TPC Southwind down in Tennesse - a course that is littered with bunkers and water hazards and rewards the more accurate and considered players .

We'll start off our tips this week with Billy Horschel, who was a winner recently at the Byron Nelson and comes here with fond memories and red-hot course form. He's finished 8th, 6th and 10th on his last three visits to the course and eight of his last 12 rounds here have been in the 60's. He hasn't exactly been on fire this season, with a 13th at the Arnold Palmer a highlight prior to four missed cuts through April, but with his course form, a recent improvement and a decent price of 30/1 on offer (paying 7 places at 1/5 odds with Paddy Power), we'll forgive that. 1pt e/w Horschel to win at 30/1
Phil Mickelson is our 2nd pick, who announced recently that he would be skipping the US Open to attend his daughters graduation. That should allow him full focus at a track he is perfectly suited to, as a hattrick of top-3 finishes confirm here over the past four years. In 14 events this season he has posted three top 10's and six top-20s, so with many of the games top players missing this week (only three of the world's Top 20 are here) he looks a big price at 16/1 (Sky Bet, BetFred 6 places, 1/4 odds) 1pt e/w Mickelson to win at 16/1
