Round 2 plays (1pt):
Fred Couples to beat Richard Sterne -105 @ Five Dimes
I don't often back the leader and the fact that it has been 5 years since Couples was last in this position may be a warning, but I don't see him struggling with the pressure today. And if there is another 3/4 shot advantage to the afternoon players, that will help him against Sterne who had always struggled on American courses
Ben Crane to beat John Senden -115 @ Bet365
Senden is a player to back when coming off a poor 1st round, but not generally - Crane leads him 4-1-0 h2h in the 2nd round this year in his impressive return from last year's back injury worries
Lucas Glover to beat Alex Cejka -111 @ Unibet
Cejka has been in the top-10 after 18 holes six times in the last three years, but he has never finished the round closer to the lead. On one occasion (2005 Honda Classic) he has missed the cut from this position and this year, he fell from 5th to 23rd after the 2nd round of the Northern Trust Open. Glover is much dependable in this situation
Nathan Green to beat Ian Poulter +100 @ Carib
A good price to oppose Poulter who has missed his three previous cuts here, always shot over-par and who averages 75.6 around the Bay Hill course. He is only using this as preparation for next week's WGC event, so Green should be far greater motivated to make the cut
Jim Furyk to beat Stuart Appleby -110 @ Five Dimes
Appleby is very hit-and-miss in this event: two runners-up finishes in 12 appearances, but no other finishes in the top-35 and he averages 72.4 around this par-70 course. He is certainly capable of bouncing back today, but concentrating on preparing for the WGC event next week may become a factor if some early round aggression doesn't provide good results. Furyk lies 7th for his best start since his back problems of last August
