US PGA

The US PGA takes place today at Quail Hollow, a course that demands length.

Predictably Rory McIlroy is still the big story and favourite, particularly as he won his first Major at Quail Hollow in 2012.

Accordingly my staking plan is for the better value Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood and long shot Sam Burns.

With the dispute with LIV still unresolved Luke Donald will not find too easy to make his Ryder Cup selection.

For many the US PGA is the poor relation of the 4 Majors, but it takes place at a different course every year and is enjoyable for that.
