The horse may have bolted when it comes to backing this tip, but to demonstrate the dominance of Hunter Mahan's golf already this week, he hasn't even need to play holes 16-18 yet. He slaughtered Stephen Gallacher 7&6, battered Ben Martin 5&3 and crushed Matt Kuchar 5&4. He demonstrated similar dominant early form when landing this title in 2012. Now comes the last 16 and Mahan couldn't have a more favourable draw. Rory McIlroy, Jim Furyk, Paul Casey, JB Holmes, Louis Oosthuizen, Rickie Fowler, Charl Schwartzel and Hideki Matsuyama are all in the other half of the draw. Mahan's biggest threat will come in the form of Lee Westwood, but even he is drawn away from Mahan so they would only meet in the semi-finals. Mahan will play John Senden in the last 16 and should he win that he will meet the winner of Mark Leishman and Gary Woodland in the quarter finals. Bet 365 are going 1/5 odds for the first three because there will be a third/fourth place playoff to determine the bronze medal winner. They go 13/2 about Mahan, but most bookmakers are going 7/1, 1/2 odds for the first two and both look extremely sensible and logical bets.
Hunter Mahan to win the WGC Match Play Championship @ 7/1 with most bookmakers.
