2024 Players Championship

The bets: All £1.50 e/w, fifth odds top eight

Max Homa 25/1

Hideki Matsuyama 28/1

Sam Burns 33/1

Min Woo Lee 45/1

Brian Harman 55/1

Erik van Rooyen 100/1

What happened:

Two rounds in and with Wyndham Clark at 14 under our best-placed fancies were Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama, seven and eight strokes off the lead respectively.

Lee, Burns and Homa at -1 only just made the cut, van Rooyen fell short by two shots.

After the third round Harman was sat in third on 15 under, two shots off the lead. Matsuyama was five further back but only one stroke off the place money. Burns at 8 under wasn't completely out of it but Lee at Even and Homa +1 could probably be written off.

After the last round:

Homa was tied 64th an Level par

Lee was two shots ahead, tied 54th

Burns finished tied 45th (-4)

Matsuyama finished on 15 under, five shots behind, tied for sixth place (£9.90)

Harman finished second on 19 under, just a shot behind Scottie Scheffler. (£18)

A small profit!
