Round 4 play (4pts):
Dustin Johnson to beat Martin Laird -150 @ Stan James, BetFred, BetInternet and Boyle Sports [available generally]
Easy to back Johnson in this situation - in second place and three shots behind the leader rather than three shots in front of the field. He was in this situation in the PGA Championship and showed how much he has improved as a marquee player. For Laird, he won on the PGA Tour last year, but that was from off the pace and the only time that he has previously held the end-of-day lead in a PGA Tour was after the 1st round of the 2008 Wyndham Championship; he shot 74 the next day to drop to 61st. His interviewer summed it up yesterday - "Without being dramatic, tomorrow's is the biggest day in your professional career" - so while he may go to win from this position, I don't see him pulling away from the field.

The Barclays : 4th Rd 18 Hole Matchups.
The Barclays : 4th Rd 18 Hole Matchups.
The Barclays --
Tournament Matchups for 18 holes only
for the Fourth Round on Sunday, August 29th.
Late matchups only for players who started the day tied for 5th or better.
Ten Units :
Justin Rose over Martin Laird @ - 145. Lost by 1.
Eight Units :
Dustin Johnson over Jason Day @ - 125. Lost by 1.
Six Units :
Vaughn Taylor over Ryan Palmer @ + 140. Push.
Four Units :
Adam Scott over Matt Kuchar @ + 120. Lost by 5.
Two Units :
Adam Scott over Jason Day @ - 110. Push.
Had circled 5 early matches but decided to just play the last 5 matches with the contenders.
Of course I would have gone 4-0-1 including a couple of easy winners with Steve Stricker.
Seems like I need to be more selective but too many times it's the ones I eliminate that win.
