I like the Hansen brothers, goofy glasses and all, to take out Els and Furyk. A little high sticking with a 7 iron ought to do it.

13 Soren Hansen over 4 Els
13 Anders Hansen over 4 Furyk
10 McDowell over 7 Z. Johnson

I don't think Olgilvy has ever lost in the first, second, or third round. He'll be a big fav. I would think.

I said one thing and I did another. Round 1 plays are---

R1 Goggin over Perry +150
R1 OHair over Scott +125
R1 O Wilson over Choi +150

I've been on Goggin twice already this year and he hasn't let me down. Perry has been great over the last two years, and he should win. I just can't convince myself that's true. This is an odds play, Matt is not this much of a dog.

Two years ago OHair was on my permanent fade list. Now he's back in my good graces with some pretty good play, mostly end of last year. Scott drops into journeyman class and doesn't deserve to be the favorite here.

I sorta like Choi all the time, I really like Wilson most of the time. Understand that? Badly written. Youth over age. Match-play expert over not a match-play expert. Plus odds over minus odds.

At first I liiked the Hansens, I still do, not enough to wager on though.

Thank god you didnt go with your gut :mj07:

I already know who I want for round 2, and my books won't take any action yet. I checked the odds at betfair, not too many takers over there. The spreads are way out of whack. I'll get them posted tonight or tomorrow morning.

Love and Goggin. I don't want to give up too much on Love and I expect to get with Goggins. And 2 more I have opposite you, Derrick.

Love over Leonard---- Here's a guy who is enjoying a rebirth, a second chance in the PGA. He's grateful, he realizes how rare it is to lose it and get it back. I expect Davis to play his ass off tomorrow and everyday this week. Leonard, on the other hand, is bored with golf, he's good, but he's bored.

Goggin over Casey---I wish it was practically anyone other than Casey. Big battle here, I think Matt will be the dog, in what should be an even up match. Matt is hotter than hot, this year and last year.

Fisher over Perez---Strictly a match-play master versus a medal play guy. I think Pat is tired, really tired. And he felt bad for the guy he beat today, Harrington. This is match-play, this is war. Act like it.

OHair over Boo---One and done for Boo. He thinks the tournament's over now. Boo doesn't know what he's doing out here. He doesn't know match-play scoring or etiquette, who's turn it is, or why he's even there. Dang. I would call him a clown, but he's really a good golfer, and I kind of like him. OHair is a professional, and he knows it. He realizes this is how he makes money, and how everything depends on everything.

I have not bet these plays. I could change my mind. I will however, not cross over to the other side. The order I listed them is the order I like them. More later.

Going to bed, and I cant be around much tomorrow.. but I think Boo walks the dog on O hair, you talk about Medal play vs Match play. Check Boo's match play record, he might play dumb, but the guy is a fierce competitor and a world class ball striker. He will be in every hole..
He crushed Wilson at the Ryder Cup Singles and made a deep run here last year. Read his transcript from after the round and you can see he wants to do well here.

Anyway, i love healthy debates good luck with whatever u decide:toast:

O'Hair is in good form... in 2009 he plays all rounds under 71 ! it will be difficult to beat him.

Round 2 play (1pt):

Jim Furyk to beat Martin Kaymer -110 @ Stan James and Ladbrokes
Two players with Arizona connections - Furyk is a University of Arizona alumnus and Kaymer spends his winters in this State - but Furyk should have the experience and the game to prevail today. He recorded 5 birdies over 17 holes in his win over Anders Hansen yesterday while Kaymer had only three in his full round of 18 holes against Stuart Appleby. And for all the good form that Kaymer displayed in the Middle East last month and his winter practice sessions in Arizona, he has always struggled in the U.S.: he lost in the first round in his debut last year and in his six subsequent events in the U.S., he has a best finish of 53rd. Furyk may have started the season later than usual and not be in quite the form that he should be at this stage of the season, but he still ranks 1st in scrambling on Tour and if conditions continue to be dry, this week will be all about the short game.

The official final guys I landed on are---

R2 Love over Leonard -139
R2 Goggin over Casey +137
R2 Fisher over Perez -111

I didn't take on Boo with OHair. I figure this---too many experts on Weekley and I seem to be the only guy that likes Sean. I don't care about being right, I do care about my money. Can always back him later if he wins anyway.

Good luck gents.
