This week the PGA Tour hits Fort Worth Texas for the named Dean & Deluca Invitational, to be played over the stunning Colonial Country Club. The history of CCC is quite interesting as it came about through one man’s crusade to bring bent grass greens to Texas.

That man was Mr Marvin Leonard, who was so intent on bringing bent grass greens to his then golf club, the River Crest GC, that he offered to pay for two or three greens to be dug up and reseeded with bent grass. If the experiment did not work, he would then pay for them to be dug up again and reseeded back to Bermuda grass!

The president of River Crest GC at the time grew so weary of Marvin’s insistence about the greens that he told him "Marvin, if you're so sold on Bentgrass, why don't you go build your own golf course and put them in?" That became Marvin Leonard’s Eureka moment and the idea of the Colonial Golf Club was born.

Mr Leonard then commissioned John Bredemus of Texas and Perry Maxwell of Oklahoma to both submit five alternative course designs but after looking at the designs he asked them to submit five more. From the initial designs Marvin Leonard put together a composite course from which sprang the Colonial Country Club.

By 1935 the golf course and the first clubhouse neared completion and less than 10 years later the Colonial Country Club held its first US Open Championship in 1941. By 1946 the Colonial had its own tournament, ‘The Colonial Invitational’ with the inaugural event being won by none other than Ben Hogan, who retained the title the following year and won the event five times in his career.

Phil Mickelson who won this event in 2000 and 2008 stated, "This golf course is one of the best tests that we have in the game of golf. To have won this tournament is an amazing feeling. I can't explain how good it feels to have won this championship."

My tips to win:

It has been strange not seeing Matt Kuchar 14/1 – with Coral – challenging every week and that just shows you how consistent the Floridian has been over the last few years. But with two third place finishes from his last two starts and not being outside the Top 10 in his last six tournaments shows the Kooch is back on his game and I expect him to be challenging again this week.

I will be sticking with Charley Hoffman 25/1 – with PaddyPower – again this week and his new found consistency has him not see him win, but he has also finished in the Top 15 four times out of his last five starts. Charley is not only playing some great golf, but he is now putting some low rounds in there which is helping him stay in the thick of it each week. Hoffman has a good record here and has only been outside the Top 25 once in the last four years.

Another player who I am sticking with this week and who also has a very good record here is Jason Dufner 40/1 – with Bet365 – who has two runners-up finishes here in the last four years – strangely it seems to be a love/hate type of relationship with the Colonial CC and this year he is due a love in. Jason has been inconsistent since we tipped him to win at the CareerBuilder Challenge, he has threatened here and there and last weeks Top 25 shooting rounds of 66, 67 on Thursday and Friday should see him showing up this week in confident mood.

My each-way tips

Another player who should come into this week in confident mood is Colt Knost 45/1 – with Bet365 – who followed up his third place finish at The Players Championship with a Top 5 at last weeks Byron Nelson, when he fired a final round 65 to move up the leaderboard nearly twenty places. Colt had a Top 10 finish here last year firing three rounds of 66 and in his current form and frame of mind I think he will be looking forward to teeing it at the Colonial C

Tony Finau 66/1 – with BetVictor – also moved up the leaderboard nearly twenty places on Sunday at last weeks Byron Nelson firing a final round of 66 and should be another player who comes into this week in buoyant mood. The big hitting Utahan has been on a bit of a rollercoaster so far this year with a win and six missed cuts. Tony turned up here for the first time last year and opened up with a 67 and finished inside the Top 20 and I think he will fancy his chances he this week.

My outside tip:

A player that will fancy his chances over the Colonial track is John Huh 175/1 – with Bet365 – who only finished outside the Top 25 twice from his first seven starts, with two Top 10s in that run. Since then the New Yorker has gone off the boil and has missed the cut in his last three starts. There was a light at the end of the tunnel at last weeks Byron Nelson when he opened up with a 67. But the reason I am picking John this week is because of his record over the Colonial CC where he has only been outside the Top 20 once in four starts and made the Top 5 in his first year here. At these odds he could be worth a little 50p each-way



As always good luck
