By ROY LANG III, Journal Sports

Sports betting is alive and well in Louisiana. What better time to unleash Lang’s Locks?

Every Wednesday, we will post picks for the week’s golf tournaments. Lang’s Locks will also appear on other days that contain picks!

The PGA Tour heads to raucous Phoenix this week.

Daniel Berger getting a good price, probably due to his WD last week at Pebble Beach. If he tees it up in Phoenix, the numbers are juicy. As you will see, win bets offer some value, but in golf, Top 20 action is where it’s at!

We also unveil our first college hoops pick in Wednesday night action.

Notes

All bets are measured in units. For instance, if your normal bet on a game is $100, that is one unit. If the bet is listed as .2 units, it’s a $20 bet.

Best line (as of Tuesday) is listed in parenthesis. Find the best price, one key to being a successful sports bettor! Shop around!
