Hearn may not be a household name, but this Canadian will have caught many punters' attention during the Fall Series, and can boast recent form figures that rather bely odds of [120.0].

Two unheralded names can make a big impression this week, names Paul Krishnamurty will reveal in his weekly search for a three-figure winner...

This long-established PGA Tour event at the Walt Disney resort has produced plenty of unfathomable winners over the years, so there's no reason to be afraid of backing a couple of players with little long-term pedigree, but who are finishing the season in good style.

Both David Hearn and Roland Thatcher have won on the Nationwide Tour, and while chances at this higher level have been few and far between, another first-time winner would hardly be a dramatic change from the norm during what has been an extremely difficult season for form students.

Hearn may not be a household name, but this Canadian will have caught many punters' attention during the Fall Series, and can boast recent form figures that rather bely odds of [120.0]. Hearn warmed up for this closing season stretch with sixth place in a Nationwide Tour event, and followed up with fifth place at the JT Shriners Open, and then seventh at the Frys.com Open. He's only missed two cuts since May, and having now secured his playing privileges for 2012, can relax and perhaps take a huge stride forward in his career.

In 120th place on the money list, Thatcher should have enough cash in the bag and has good reason to feel confident about Disney, having led for most of the way last year before settling for the runners-up spot. Thatcher has won three times on the Nationwide Tour so clearly knows how to get the job done, and is playing well enough to warrant respect. Sixteenth, 30th and 32nd in three Fall Series starts may not look anything special, but the fact he's hit over 80% of greens in regulation is noteworthy. Perhaps a return to the greens on which he thrived last year will provide the necessary impetus to move from respectable mid-division to contention.

The trading advice is to have 1.5 units on both players, then place two lay orders on each at [15.0] and [3.0] to bank profit.

Recommended Bets
1.5u David Hearn @ [120.0]
1.5u Roland Thatcher @ [140.0]

Place order to lay 6u @ [15.0]
Place order to lay 20u @ [3.0]
