ROB'S SKY BET TIPS

Rory McIlroy is back this week; he's just made the cut on the mark in his last couple of outings in America, and has finished in the top 10 in his last four. Victory has got to be around the corner for him; the round that lets him down mustn't appear and why can't that be this week? I think we'll see something good from him at Wentworth. He's 12/1 with Sky Bet for the BMW PGA Championship, and the Northern Irishman will have his eye on Adam Scott, who tipped Tiger Woods off his perch as the World No 1 without lifting a finger. McIlroy, at World No 10, will know that a win here would send him flying up the rankings at the right velocity. Over in America, we're still in Texas, and the names are out for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Everyone likes this course because it's old fashioned with greens close to the tees. When I think of recent winners there's been Boo Weekley and Zach Johnson, people who really hit the ball well - it's a homage to Hogan really. But, despite Rory's efforts, a win here for Adam Scott at 16/1 outright would say to people, 'Look, I'm No 1 and this is what I can do'. Check out all Sky Bet's golf markets here.
