Golf from the US this weekend comes from New Orleans with it hosting the Zurich Classic from TPC Louisiana. It is a reduced field this week. John Senden, the Australian who was our best finisher in the US Masters, returns after a week off. He has the game to challange here and, as his result in the US Masters showed, is in great form. At $41 to win the tournament and around $7 to finish in the top 5 he is my tip for this weekend’s tournament.
Tip: John Senden to finish top 5
It is another long weekend in Australia this weekend and there is, as always, a plethora of sport both at home and abroad to watch and wager on.
Here is my multi for this weekend’s action:
Leg 1: Indiana Pacers to cover the line (-2.0 points) against the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.
Leg 2: LA Dodgers to cover the line (-1.5 runs) against the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB.
Leg 3: Waratahs to cover the line (-1.5 points) against the Blues in Super Rugby.
Leg 4: Melbourne Storm to cover the line (-8.5 points) against the New Zealand Warriors in the NRL.
Leg 5: Fremante Dockers to defeat the North Melbourne Kangaroos by less then 40 points in the AFL.
Leg 6: Gold Coast Suns to defeat Greater Western Sydney by less than 40 points in the AFL.
Leg 7: Reds to cover the line (+6.5 points) against the Hurricanes in Super Rugby.
Leg 8: Canterbury Bulldogs to cover the line (-6.5 points) against the Newcastle Knights in the NRL.
This multi will return around $250 per dollar invested.

After an epic US Masters tournament, attention returns to the PGA Tour and the RBC Heritage Open at the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
There are some excellent players backing up this week from the Masters and the best of them, in my view, is Jim Furyk. At $21 for the win and $5.25 to finish in the top 5 he clearly has the game to play a part in the finish of this one at some value. He loves the Harbour Town layout having secured a win and two runners-up results in the past.
My money will be on the bloke with the strangest swing and ball flight in the modern game to have a great result for punters here.

There is so much sport on at the moment it is difficult to keep track of it all. Here is a short multi that I am pretty confident about today coming out of America.
Leg 1: Boston Red Sox to cover the line (-1.5 runs) against the Texas Rangers in the MLB.
Leg 2: Kansas City Royals to defeat the Tampa Bay Rays in the MLB.
Leg 3: Minnesota Wild to defeat the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL.
Leg 4: Anaheim Ducks to defeat the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL.
Leg 5: Kentucky to defeat U Conn in the NCAA Mens Tournament Championship Game by 10 points or less.
This multi should pay around the $40 mark.
As always: all care is taken with this tip but no responsibility for losses is given.

Leg 2: Brooklyn Nets to defeat the Phoenix Suns in the NBA.
Leg 3: Boston Bruins to defeat the Minnesota Wild in the NHL.
Leg 4: Los Angeles Kings to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL.
This multi should return around $17.50 for each dollar invested.
