Been out most of the day but also took tha Lickliter over O'Meara as soon as they put it out
Was hoping someone would put up O'Meara as his best days are surely gone and he admits he can barely hit the ball, this would have been a major play if I could be so sure Lickliter makes the cut but I still like it A LOT

Like all of the plays posted so far except opposing "hot" Faxon and Serge ov Weir ( had better year on Monterey last year ). Backing Calc and Rocco to stay hot this week.

Ian Tad worried bout Lickliter myself but was 100% go against Omeara who was at very top of my $hit list with Magee,Armour,Goydos and Noblio not far behind.Have never posted double plays yet but may this year and would have considered here if not for tourney format.Lickliter made cut 73% of events last season which is respectable.

Preview & plays:

For once the Crosby weather seems to be absent this week. For a tournament that was cancelled outright five years ago, had the 3rd round completed six months later three years, was reduced to 54 holes two years and was completed on the Monday last year, it must be a huge relief to the organizers and the players if the weathermen are correct and it is not Puddle Beach on view this week. It may cast a shadow over the course form stats that such extreme weather conditions have been prevalent, but this an unusual event. Three days of pro-am golf on three different courses, followed by (hopefully!) a return to Pebble Beach on Sunday. The form of 'giggle golf' does not lend itself to predictable winners even in the absence of weather chaos.

This week also marks a return to the scene of Tiger's humiliation of his compatriots last June. Weather and course conditions may be very different this week, but the specter of that event will hang over every player this week. It will even do so over Tiger, for his fallibility has been all too evident in the past three months and that US Open was the pinnacle of his domination of world golf. He won twice at Pebble Beach last year, but his poor performances in 1998 and 1999 in pro-am golf and his current form leave no value in odds which are no longer odds-on.

The courses used are Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Poppy Hills, which Pebble Beach playing the hardest of the three. In recent years it has played 0.5 shots harder than the other two, but Poppy Hills marginally the easiest of the three, but with weather conditions expected to be less extreme, this may render these course comparisons useless. Often described as the most spectacular golf course in the world, Pebble Beach will more than make up for the 'celebrity' distractions this week.

The three outright plays this week are David Duval, Davis Love and Justin Leonard, all each-way plays paid on the first five places. Until last year when he come off a tough time with fans in Phoenix, Duval had a very record in this event: 15th in 1999, 2nd in 1997 and 2nd in 1995. By progression, he does look good this year! His missed cut last week, like some many of the big names, can be downplayed with his first use of the Nike irons, it will be better this week and as with his performances in the Bob Hope, he can settle in this format whatever the weather. Expect a bounce-back this week.

Davis Love did threaten at times last week, but when Calc had such a large lead and the rounds were not being finished on time, it is easy to explain Love's poor finish. Like Mickelson, he is not the most motivated of players when not in contention. It can in part help to understand his relatively poor performances in this event in its disrupted history, but he has still finished in the top-25 in four of the last five stagings, including 3rd in the undisrupted 1995 event, so he is not unsuited to the pro-am format. Good odds for someone who has finished in the top-5 in over a quarter of all events he has played in the past 3 years.

Justin Leonard did miss the cut by a stroke last week as a selection, but he still looks in good form and his stats can hardly be faulted either. This season he has hit 76% of fairways and 82% of greens in regulation on the PGA Tour. He has also shown an aptitude for pro-am golf and this course. He was 16th at last year's US Open, and in this event he was 4th two years ago and 15th last year despite having playing the hardest course in the worst of the weather: Pebble Beach in the first round. Like Duval, I expect a strong bounce-back.

Outright plays:

David Duval to win 16/1 e.w. @ Victor Chandler
Davis Love to win 28/1 e.w. @ First Stake
Justin Leonard to win 40/1 e.w. @ First Stake

72-hole plays:

Andrew Magee to beat John Daly -111 @ First Stake [2 units]
One top-10 does not signify a change of form and especially when it's a week when patience with your playing partners is essential. Daly is not a regular pro-am golfer and has avoided this tournament for a few years; can't see him making it until Sunday

Hal Sutton to beat Steve Elkington -111 @ First Stake [2 units]
A case of survival of the fittest! Sutton does not have a good record in this event, but nor does he in wet weather so the two may be related. Has shown glimpses of a return to form, though not over 72-holes, yet still much better than Elkington's only appearance so far this year - virtually last at the Tucson Open

Kirk Triplett to beat Grant Waite -120 @ Carib
Both come off missed cuts and not very impressive past performances in this event, but Triplett does appear to be playing much the better golf of the two - he has hit 80% of greens in regulation so far this year compared to Waite's 70% and gets the nod in accordance


DTB, Opposing Triplett and Magee? Yikes! I'm in trouble

As much as I dislike Magee this week I couldn't pull trigger on his opposition.A go against Daly is always a good bet.You have bout 12% chance he'll WD and about 60% he won't make cut.One bad hole and he'll quit.
I like your chances.

PEBBLE BEACH, CA. -- Tiger Woods might not defend his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title after all. After finishing an early practice round Wednesday morning at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Woods stepped on the ankle of an overzealous autograph seeker, hyper-extended his left knee as he walked off the 18th green, and might be forced to withdraw.


Tiger Woods gets in a practice round before hyper-extending his knee. (AP)

"My leg snapped back,'' said the world's top-ranked golfer, who was limping noticeably. "And then he yelled at me for not signing. A lot of fans just got on me.''
Woods tried to swing, but couldn't. Asked what his odds were of pulling out of the tournament, he said, "They're up there
-------------------------------------------- Probably not even hurt!Has anyone found another source for tee times.If they knew Tiger was to tee off at Spy Glass then tee times have been set hours ago.

Oly have taken their lines down, don't know about other US books, it does sound like he has injured his knee quite "badly" and could affect his swing
As it is way past bedtime for most UK bookies their lines are still up and have just taken a little of the 22-1 Lehman
Typical on a week when this happens I take Dimarco without Woods

Another one of these weeks with HUGE line swings/differences on some of my favorite matchups. This has me VERY GLAD I got in early. One that I got at -135 opening is now -190 at Oly. Another I got at -115 at FairDeal, Oly has at -170 now. Hell a 20-30 cent swing is nothing this week! Whomever is making Oly's lines is a pretty sharp cookie, IMO. But they created a lot of scalp opps that are tempting me. Naw, I'll gamble and trust my cappin!

All the futures have to be looking better with Tiger's knee a ? I think they're too tough to beat long term so I rarely give 'em a go - this week would have been a good time to dally a bit! I did buy a few Lehman contracts at WSEX ( wonder how they'll handle Tiger's situation? ), and I like your Leonard pick as well, but I didn't play it.

SIA still has futures up at the same "pre-injury" odds. So I banged a few of my favorites ( Lehman, Singh, Leonard, Rocco ) a few times each! What the he!!
