Hats off to Hideki Matsuyama for his record-breaking victory at The Sentry, where he finished an astonishing 35 under par - and now for the second half of the Hawaii double-header. If the Japanese star picks up where he left off on Sunday, he could make a mockery of his 9-1 odds. But it is a big IF.
Only two players have managed to win both Hawaii events in the past - Ernie Els and Justin Thomas, both when they were at the peak of their powers. With a much bigger field to contend with this week, there are plenty of dangerous customers lurking further down the betting.
Find The Sun's betting publishing principles here. Matsuyama’s position as a relatively short-priced favourite means there are some tempting alternatives at decent prices, including the two men beaten in last year’s play-off, Keegan Bradley and Ben An.
Bradley and An were edged out by the tragic Grayson Murray, who shocked the golfing world by taking his own life a few months later. After being handed the Ryder Cup captaincy Bradley won the BMW Championship in Denver, and has every chance of earning a playing spot on his USA team in September.
A decent performance at the Sentry - where he finished T15 - plus his near miss 12 months ago make the USA captain's 25-1 odds look pretty generous. An is slightly longer at 28-1. He also used his close call here last year as a springboard to success, as he went on to win the Genesis Invitational. So he should not be ruled out either.
