Find Me a Winner: A trio of outsider picks covering both main tours

As we saw a fortnight ago at the Wyndham Championship - not to mention countless season races from the past - the annual late scramble for prize money often provides a tremendous punting angle. It is for that reason that we're also looking beyond this week's main FedEx Cup event.

For while the PGA Tour is already in the midst of it's final series, the European Tour still has several weeks to go. That means several more opportunities for strugglers to find the spark required to turn their seasons around and reach various qualification targets.

Indeed you'll find various players right in the thick of it amongst this week's selections on these pages. Among our quintet of each-way selections, Eddie Pepperell is ranked 96th on the Race to Dubai, Zander Lombard 109th and Ben Evans 150th. Though less challenged in terms of rankings, I was quite keen on Joe Dyer's pick Paul Waring too for this column. Another that crossed my radar was 109th placed Jens Fahrbring.

Place order to lay 15u @ 8.00

Instead, here's a man whose best golf is way better than a ranking of 160th place would suggest, and who may be turning a corner. Prior to last week's third place in Denmark, Steve Webster had achieved very little in eight starts and needed a miracle to regain his card. He'll still need something special but it is certainly possible with a big week.

Before a combination of injuries and poor form sent his career spiraling, Webster was always a talented, yet very streaky, player who often put good back-to-back performances together. Moreover in his heyday, this sort of test - The Albatrossplaces a strong premium on both long driving, good putting and birdies - was his ideal type. Both European Tour wins came on courses with similar demands, at the Italian Open and Portugal Masters.

Back this pair to atone for last year's poor finish at Boston

The second FedEx Cup play-off presents something of a dilemma. In truth, it has much less chance of producing a shock winner than the Czech Masters. However in stark contrast to that event, there are stacks of classy players within our triple-figure price range. Understandably, given the strength in depth of these elite affairs and the particular brilliance of market leaders Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth in the first play-off.

Nevertheless, Chris Kirk's huge odds win in 2014 shows upsets are possible at TPC Boston and it is always a realistic aim to get one into contention and matched at much shorter than their starting odds. Hopefully, I've found a couple with the right credentials.

Back Tony Finau 2u @ 120.00

Place order to lay 12u @ 10.00

Place order to lay 20u @ 3.00 

TPC Boston is more than just a bombers' paradise but the big-hitters do enjoy an advantage on the risk-reward holes and par-fives that are so pivotal to scoring. Tony Finau is among the best on long holes, ranking seventh amongst these in 2017 and he was in contention thru 54 holes last year before a poor final round.

He's coming off a couple of disappointing results but this highly progressiveplayer was showing positive signs prior to the PGA. Sandwiched in between a couple of top-seven finishes, Finau was a respectable 27th at Royal Birkdale, having been called up for the Open at late notice.

Back Brian Harman 2u @ 180.00

Place order to lay 12u @ 15.00

Place order to lay 15u @ 8.00

Despite letting us down last week, Harman must be persevered with - the left-hander remains under the market radar. As Kirk demonstrated, great putters can defy lack of power here and only Rickie Fowler ranks ahead of Harman in the key strokes gained putting stats for 2017.

Again, look to last year's renewal for very positive signs. Harman was runner-up going into Sunday, before disastrously falling back to 24th. We know from his victories and other performances in contention - most notably the US Open - that he is no bottler.

As always, a few words about alternatives. Xander Schauffele is clearly an outstanding prospect, performing well almost every week, and I wonder just how long he'll be a 100/1 plus chance. Rafa Cabrera Bello is very interesting at 330.00. Fourth at the Open just three starts ago, following on from Scottish Open victory, this is the perfect example of fickle markets.

Finally given the emphasis on good putting, I would deter anyone from taking 430.00 about Cameron Smith. The Aussie is much better than his results suggests, and hit a pair of 63s on his penultimate start.
