Outright plays (total stake per play: 2pts)

D.A. Weibring to win 12/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
This Tour is clearly becoming more competitive if the odds are anything to go by ... players like these would have been regularly 20/1 and upwards a year ago. Weibring was a selection for this event last year at 22/1, as was Jenkins at 25/1 and he is available at single figure odds this week. As for this week's selections, these are all players at the top of their game and with no course form to base the selections upon, this is the primary criterion. Weibring, for his part, won three weeks ago and took Tom Jenkins to a playoff last week. Certainly one of the form players on Tour.

Morris Hatalsky to win 14/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
And so is Hatalsky whose 17th place finish was only the second time that he has finished outside the top-10 since January. And having been 2nd with one round to play last week, he really should have finished higher than he did. He should do so this week.

Dana Quigley to win 14/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
Having reached 2nd place during the final round last week, Quigley should have done better than a share of 4th place, but it extended his run of top-10 finishes to five, of which four have been top-5 finishes. While Quigley completes a trio of players who all rank in the top-10 in the Tour's most important stat categories - Scoring Average, All-Round Ranking, Money Leaders, Charles Schwab Cup Points and Top-10 Finishes, it is Quigley who has the best stats of the lot, ranking 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st and 1st in these five categories respectively. He really should be on the leaderboard again ion Sunday night.

Mike Reid to beat Dave Barr -111 @ Paddy Power
Not only was Reid very impressive in following up his Senior PGA Championship win with a top-3 finish last week, he has generally been the far better player since Reid joined the Champions Tour. Reid has a 9-3-0 h2h record against his opponent on this Tour.

Tom Watson to beat Dave Barr -114 @ Expekt
With the event being played in Kansas and Watson's hospital being the main charitable beneficiary in this event, there is plenty of incentive for him to play as hard as he can. It also helps in this respect that he is paired with Jack Nicklaus in the opening round. So while Barr has shown some form recently, I'll side with the player that leads 21-6-1 h2h on this Tour.

Outrights - FINAL RESULT: 1-2; +13.50pts

Weibring 6th
Hatalsky 17th
Quigley 1st

Very lucky to come out of such a weather-wrecked event with a profit. Made for a nervous Monday as the players tried to match (and overtake) Quigley and Morgan's total of 133, but only Tom Watson managed it and Quigley was the only player to birdie the first playoff hole. Was hoping for another winner with Weibing, but he failed to birdie the easy par-5 towards the end of his round and then dropped a shot on the next hole. He finished one shot out of a top-5 place.

Matchups - FINAL RESULT: 2-0; +4.00pts
