It you head for Kohler, you will find a Pete Dye creation that runs along the western edge of Lake Michigan for some two miles, if you didn’t know any better you would have thought this course had been sitting on this site since golf first came to the United States.

The course was the vision of Herbert V Kohler Jnr who transformed a former airfield into one of the most dramatic courses in the US. Pete Dye may not have moved heaven, but his team of bulldozers certainly moved plenty of earth on this money no object creation.

“Mr. Kohler wanted an all-walking course with fescue fairways, and I was very apprehensive,” stated Pete Dye. “There are a handful of courses with fescue in Maine and Long Island, but agronomists will tell you it won’t grow in many places over here.” Fortunately, the banks of Lake Michigan were receptive.

From the grass to the pot bunkers and even the introduction of black sheep give it that true links feel and with the lake breezes and railroad-tie bulkheads used in some of the bunkering help give it that authenticity you really could be in Ireland.

My tips to win

Jordan Spieth 7/1 – with BoyleSport – will be looking to cap his year with a third major championship win, The lad from Texas was so unlucky not to have at least made the play-off at St Andrews with his ball spinning back down to the valley of sin on the 18th. The fact that he had put himself into that position yet again shows that Jordan now sit in that rarefied air that separates good golfers with the greats of the game and I have no doubt that he will be challenging again.

That old adage “be weary of the wounded golfer” will come into play this week when Rory McIlroy 9/1 – with BetVictor – tees it up having recovered from his foot injury, I expect the Northern Irishman to be in determined mood. McIlroy is also the defending champion and having won two PGA Championships in the last three years it is not a crown that he will relinquish lightly. It could also turn out to be a shot-out for world number one come Sunday if Rory and Jordan are battling it out.

Bubba Watson 22/1 – with ToteSport – comes into this week in great form after his runner-up finish at last weeks WGC Bridgestone Invitational – his third runner-up finish of the season and second on the bounce – it is also where Bubba finished the last time the PGA Championship was last held at Whistling Straits when he lost out in a three hole play-off to Martin Kaymer. The lad from Bagdad will certainly be looking to finally get over the line this week.

My each-way tips

Louis Oosthuizen 35/1 – with BetFred – has been knocking on the door of his second major championship win this year and has two runners up finishes at the Open Championship and US Open and a Top 20 at The Masters. Its taken the South African a while to recover from that hooked wedge shot by Bubba Watson at the 2012 Masters tournament, when he looked odds on to take the green jacket, but the golf he is playing at the moment he is sure to be in contention this week.

Zach Johnson 60/1 – with Bet365 – may just float into the Whistling Straits clubhouse this week and I think after brushing off the cobwebs at last weeks WGC Bridgestone Invitational. Zach will not only come here full of beans but also have some very positive memories from the last time he played in the PGA Championship here missing out on making the play-off by one shot. I must admit I am surprised to see him at these odds but I think he is great value at this price.

My outside tip:

It's a tough call this week as there are two great bets one is Paul Casey 80/1 – with Coral – who has been threatening to win but has not quite got over the line but he does have two runners-up finishes and had Top 15 finish here in 2010. And Danny Willett 100/1 – with Ladbrokes – who followed up a great Open Championship with a win and like Casey had a Top 20 finish at last weeks WGC Bridgestone Invitational. I am going to plummet for Danny Willett I think these are great odds and although he hasn’t played the course in competition, I think he comes into this week in better form and has more mental strength than Casey to bounce back if things don’t go his way.

As always good luck
