Australian PGA Championship

[Stanley]

Outright plays (1.5pts):

Craig Parry to win 22/1 e.w. @ BetInternet, BetDirect and Totalbet
In his last five visits to the Hyatt Coolum Resort, Parry has finished in the top-3 four times, winning once. There are few who can match that degree of course specialism! So with his game in good shape - he has just finished in the top-15 in his last three starts and ranked 1st in driving accuracy and in the top-10 in greens in regulation last week - he could certainly continue his run of high finishes here.

Stephen Leaney to win 22/1 e.w. @ Bet365 and BetInternet
No recent course history for Leaney, though he did finish 8th on his last visit in 1996. It has been a long time, but it is not enough to negate a play on someone who has done particularly well in this country. Before last week, he had finished 2nd in his previous two starts in Australia and during the first nine holes on Sunday, it looked as though he might even better that mark at The Australian. He faded on the back nine, but he is certainly worth another punt at these odds.

Greg Chalmers to finish in the top-five 16/1 e.w. @ GolfingGods
Chalmers faded rather earlier than Leaney last week after lying 2nd after the first round. He did close with a 69 to finish in the top-15 and that was his third top-15 finish in his last four starts; the other two being on the PGA Tour. In that form and with a record of two top-5 finishes in his last three visits to the Hyatt Coolum Resort, he looks well-equipped to contend again. However, he is not the best at closing out tournaments, so a place-only bet seems the best option.

Matchup plays (1.5pts unless stated):

Greg Chalmers to beat Gavin Coles -110 @ BetInternet [3pts]
Chalmers has yet to finish ahead of Coles in any of their six common events in 2004, but this week should be different. The only time in the last five months that they have played in the same tournament was last week when Coles finished 8th, but Chalmers did finish 15th and having finished in the top-15 in two of his previous three (PGA Tour) starts, he is clearly a player in form. There is also a considerable difference in course form: two top-five finishes in his last three visits vs. missed cuts in his last two.

John Senden to beat Peter Senior -110 @ Stan James [4.5pts]
This really should be a no-contest. Senden successfully retained his PGA Tour Card this season and it was only poor putting that denied him a lot of leaderboard appearances: he finished the season ranked 2nd in total driving, 6th in greens in regulation and 2nd in ball-striking. Senior was a surprise winner a year ago and it would be a surprise if he were to finish in the top-20 again.

John Senden to beat Jarrod Moseley -114 @ Expekt
Moseley won this title (jointly with Peter Lonard) the year before Senior, but he is another who would be a surprise top-20 finisher. He finished 59th of the 60 players who made the cut last week and that was quite an achievement as he had missed eight out of his last ten cuts. Senden finished 11 shots ahead of him last week and with good course form himself, he should expecting a similar margin of victory this week.

Stephen Leaney to beat Nick O'Hern +104 @ Pinnacle [3pts]
Opposing another former winner of this title (1999), though there is no suggestion that O'Hern is playing poorly. Rather that Leaney is playing a little better - as shown by his five-shot victory over O'Hern last week - and that he has finished ahead of O'Hern in each of their last three common events in Australia. That makes plus odds a little generous!

Peter Lonard to beat Rod Pampling -118 @ BetInternet [3pts]
Trying to get back some of the money lost opposing Lonard last week and finally backing a previous winner on this course! Lonard has proved that he is fully fit and competitive again and if that is the case, he should be no match for Pampling who has finished ahead of him in only two of their last ten common events in Australia. I would also expect some negative reaction from Pampling very difficult weekend when he had held a commanding lead last week after 36 holes.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

got a couple 1st rds to add @ 5dimes
Estes +110 over R Green
Chalmers -118 over Gow

Winds got up in pm all last week in australia--repeat should give these advantage.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

Upset I didnt jump on Parry at the start. So here goes nothing....

Parry 7-1 1/4 123

Only one behind Lonard but much better odds plus has a great shot to get in the top three...so worth it in my eyes.

Other stakes this week was Smail but forgot to post. So a good week can still be had.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

Can I take it back? :cursin: :142lmao:

and a few outrights elsewhere.

Nice week DTB :clap:

Outrights - FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -4.50pts

Parry 9th
Leaney 13th
Chalmers 20th

Looked promising before the weekend when Chalmers and Parry had appeared in the top-5, but the frustration on this Tour in 2004 continues.

Matchups - FINAL RESULT: 2-3-0; -6.75pts

Chalmers/Coles LOST by 4
Senden/Senior TIED (Lost)
Senden/Moseley WON by 11
Leaney/O'Hern LOST by 3
Lonard/Pampling WON by 6

A baffling result. All five matches were ahead before the weekend, but even then a profit on the plays was denied when Senden bogeyed the last hole to tie his match and lose the play from a winning position.
