Other perfectly plausible candidates include Camilo Villegas, who has been something of a FedEx Cup specialist so far, and the relentlessly accurate Robert Allenby. As always, Anthony Kim will be a threat if putting his best foot forward, though he's looked less impressive on tough courses this season. At a huge price, Fred Couples certainly has the game for this Major-style test, as well as some excellent 2009 form including 5th on Sunday.   Finally at 100/1, former Open champion BEN CURTIS must rate a good each-way bet. He finished 4th in this event last year when it was held at Ridgewood and generally tends to thrive around this time of year. Curtis' numerous fine efforts in tough Majors; three top 10s in the Open and runner-up in the 2008 USPGA; confirm he has the game to deal with these tests, so long as the course isn't extremely long, which this one isn't.
