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. We will also appear for other plays when they pop up. Let’s make a little money!

Earned more than 1 unit last week on the strength of top-20 finishes from Matt Jones (+900) and Mito Pereira (+800) at Riviera.

A reminder, top-20 betting is where the money is to be made in golf!

We try again this week. The PGA Tour’s Honda Classic is the only event we’re dipping into. I didn’t find any value in the win betting at the Honda Classic, but plenty of opportunities for T20.

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!
