Golf doesn't get much more competitive than Korn Ferry Tour Finals, and after a sighter in Boise it's time to have a crack at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship.

To glance at the market is to be reminded that the DP World Tour does stack up well with this level of competition, with stalwarts Dean Burmester and Thomas Detry battling Taylor Montgomery for favouritism. Equally, it tells us what we all know, which is that the PGA Tour is where most professional golfers really do want to be.

Burmester and Detry just about wrapped things up with their efforts in Idaho and will be PGA Tour players next season, and the value here lies with an even greater talent in MIN WOO LEE, who can be backed at 30/1 generally and 33/1 in a place.

Lee's major performances this year – 14th in the Masters, 27th in the US Open, 21st in the Open – have been of a very high standard and while he's been lacklustre elsewhere, unlike Burmester and Detry that can be explained by his schedule. Playing on invites, he's been chasing a PGA Tour card in high-class events and only once has he dipped below Rolex Series level in Europe.

That to some extent justifies a patchy set of results but he played well for 26th last week, at a quirky golf course where he wasn't able to kick on from an opening 63 but nevertheless got his KFT Finals campaign off to a solid start.

My strong suspicion is that Ohio State University's Scarlet Course will suit far better. This par 71, redesigned by Jack Nicklaus back in 2005, is far more straightforward in nature even if it's no pushover, and it certainly offers something for the big hitter. Andrew Loupe, Grayson Murray and Peter Uihlein have all won here, along with future world number ones Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas, and all did so by attacking the course off the tee.

Lee retains star potential, something we saw last summer when he edged out Detry in a Scottish Open play-off, and while his approach play can let him down, he should have plenty of opportunities to pick up cheap birdies here. It's also a tournament his childhood friend Curtis Luck has won and rates a really good chance to confirm himself a PGA Tour member for the season ahead.

If I were Trevor Immelman, I'd also have an eye on both him and Burmester with the Presidents Cup in mind. That might sound silly given the level we're at, but beyond KH Lee and perhaps Ryan Fox there aren't all that many compelling candidates for wild card selection, and the X-factor of a player like Lee is something he should perhaps consider given the way the Aussie has performed at the highest level in 2022.

Regardless, spurred on by mentor Adam Scott's resurgence, I'll be disappointed if Lee can't secure his PGA Tour status with both this course and Victoria National ideal platforms.

Strong driving looks the way to go in Ohio and earns both Vincent Norrman and DAVIS THOMPSON a place on the shortlist, with the latter narrowly preferred.

Thompson bounced back to form with 15th place in the Boise Open last week and again, he wouldn't necessarily be a natural fit for that course. The leader this season in total driving thanks to his blend of power and accuracy, he looks to be cut from a similar cloth to Scheffler and I'd expect Ohio State to suit.

Already from just 20 Korn Ferry Tour starts he has a win and three further top-10 finishes, contending on a couple of other occasions, and it's perhaps significant that his summer breakthrough came a week after he'd contended in Illinois before a poor final round. It was a similar story last Sunday as he fell from sixth to 15th and perhaps he can get back on track very quickly once more.
