PPH Sports Betting -- Ryder Cup and Rookie QB's Making News

Right now Keegan Bradley, a former PGA champion, is -1500 at WagerHome to be one of Tom Watson's captain's picks for the Ryder Cup. Jason Dufner, who is priced at +120, made a gallant effort to defend his PGA Championship but withdrew after nine holes on Thursday with a recurrence of his neck problems. We can't imagine him offering value at that price, since he may actually miss the rest of the season.
