Golf betting tips: Jordan Spieth to find form in home state at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson
The PGA Tour returns to Texas for the third time this year, ahead of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
The tournament takes place at TPC Craig Ranch, a relatively new course on tour.
Craig Ranch is known to score low, with the front nine especially accommodating to stringing together birdie after birdie.
Long drives, to set up easy approach shots, are the recipe for success here, so favouring those who can hit it long and drop it close will be a solid plan of action.
Here, Sports News Blitz’s Sam Condy breaks down four of the top picks ahead of the PGA’s visit to Texas.

NBA Playoff betting tips: Best spread picks as Cavs and Knicks wrap up series
First up on Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to complete a series sweep as they face the Miami Heat in Game 4 at Kaseya Centre.

Next, the New York Knicks will try to finish off their first-round matchup with the Detroit Pistons in Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
Even though the Pistons have been competitive, winning one game and losing three by a combined 14 points, we think the Knicks have a good chance of finishing the job.
Sports News Blitz tipster George Dempsey offers his best betting tips ahead of the action.

Grand National tips: Bookmaker thinks 2025 could be a grey day at Aintree
Data from William Hill has revealed that backing grey horses has been no way of winning money on the Grand National.
Since the turn of the millennium, 62 greys have gone to post across the 24 renewals.
But of those runners, a mere seven have placed in the first five, and there has been just one winner since 2012.
