Cameron DaSilva advised against wagering on favorite Scottie Scheffler (+350 odds) at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. DaSilva noted that although it's typically easy to back the world's No. 1 golfer, Scheffler currently presents limited betting value, combined with relatively lackluster form by his own exceptional standards so far this season. With more compelling values and form elsewhere in the field, DaSilva suggested avoiding Scheffler this week.

Cameron DaSilva suggested considering Gary Woodland as a long-shot candidate at +12500 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. Although Woodland has recently struggled and his performance has declined after an earlier strong start to this year, DaSilva pointed to his solid track record at Memorial Park. Woodland finished 21st and ninth in his last two starts here. DaSilva believes Woodland's familiarity and historical comfort at this venue offer promising upside at his greatly elevated odds.

Cameron DaSilva identified Joel Dahmen as a valuable long-shot bet at +12500 odds for the Texas Children's Houston Open. Despite Dahmen's uneven performances this season—with two top-10 finishes but also four missed cuts—DaSilva cited his course-specific track record. Dahmen has played well in two of three appearances at Memorial Park, finishing fifth in 2021 and ninth in 2022. While he missed the cut last year, DaSilva saw enough previous evidence of Dahmen's comfort on this challenging course to justify taking a chance at long odds.

Cameron DaSilva recommended backing Thomas Detry at +5000 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open, emphasizing Detry's strong recent performances. Detry posted a tied-for-second finish last year at Memorial Park behind Stephan Jaeger. DaSilva noted Detry already won earlier this season at the WM Phoenix Open by a large margin and arrives this week in stable form after a T-22 at the recent Valspar Championship. Given Detry's proven success at Memorial Park, DaSilva positioned him as an appealing value option.

Cameron DaSilva picked Min Woo Lee (+4000 odds) as a strong contender at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open on his debut at Memorial Park. DaSilva highlighted Lee's significant driving distance, which fits perfectly at the 7,474-yard par-70 course. He also underscored Lee's excellent short game, evidenced by ranking 15th in strokes gained: putting and 9th around the green. DaSilva argued that if Lee can find consistency with his iron play—his only real question mark—he has all the tools to claim victory due to his strong overall recent form.

Cameron DaSilva advised betting on Tony Finau at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open at attractive +3300 odds, pointing out his excellent recent finishes at Memorial Park. Finau secured second place two years ago and won last year, showcasing his clear affinity and consistency at this course. Despite strong opponents like Scheffler and McIlroy in the field, DaSilva emphasized Finau's past success coupled with better betting value compared to gambling on Scheffler (+350), whose form has been average by his lofty standards.
