Last week was a much needed slump buster with Damien McGrane(50/1) and Boo Weekley(40/1). I'll be disappointed but not frustrated if I can't stay at least lukewarm with my nonsense for this week.
Outrights:
Henrik Stenson(10/1) e.w.
- - The player most due a win on the 2008 season is . . . Lee Westwood, head and shoulders above, IMO, by the ANGLES and INFORMATION that inform my decisions on Outrights (although value questions are a different layer of inquiry) . . . but Cink and Stenson then line up behind . . . Be that as it may, Stenson surprised me with his so solid effort at Augusta, and he seems certain to be thereabouts on the flatish and water hazard strewn venue this week.
Darren Clarke(66/1) e.w.
- - Post-Masters begins Phase II of a season in which I'm all in for a good while I suspect.
Michael Campbell(125/1) e.w.
- - Go Big or Go Home by pulling the trigger on this play, That's for Should :mj07: . . . "Campbell's season has been lurching, most notably when he carded three successive rounds in the 80s ahead of this month's Masters at Augusta . . . Campbell then missed an eighth successive cut at the Masters but left far from disappointed . . . "I was very pleased with the way I played at Augusta and to shoot 71 on the Friday and break par in those tough conditions was very encouraging," he said . . . "I felt as though I turned a very big corner even though it was tough knowing that I wasn't playing the final two rounds . . . But I've had a week at home continuing to work hard on my game and I'm really looking forward to the event.""
Jason Knutzon(140/1) e.w.
- - 8th last week, during which he appeared on the cusp of making the necessary things happen and pushing through during the first 54 holes, but the putts and other critical strokes just weren't there, and then as a poor candidate to push through on the Sunday slog he still gave a decent account of trying to grind through before losing the plot at the very last.
Damien deserves better from me, as I never pick up a winning marker without a strong reason for believing it's the thing to do.
