The 2012 golf season is beginning to settle down now and some of the big names return to the field for the Farmers Insurance Open to be played at Torrey Pines North and South courses. The South course plays as one of the longest on tour at almost 7,600 yards and premium is very much on tee to green play at the Farmers Insurance Open. Top experienced ball strikers with good total driving stats will be my primary focus. Those high in scrambling stats won’t be far behind. Follow me on Twitter for in running trades and updates. Another thing to note for early round trading is that the North course plays under 6,900 yards to a par of 72 and many shots easier. Players will play one round there over the first two days.

I’ve been talking up Thomas Aiken on the blog and Twitter all week for the SA Open. The Serengeti course sets up perfectly for him with it’s length and extremely wide fairways and he’s now in prime position to strike after a good round 1 in the tougher conditions. Out early on day 2 and currently lurks 3 shots back on -4. If weather conditions are similar to today, with the early starters playing in gentle winds, we could see Aiken go low, both in terms of score and odds. A moderate round and we should be able to get out for no liability. Trade of the week: Place 2 units on Thomas Aiken 20.0. Trade after round 2, if possible. New To Trading?
