Bruno's Memorial Classic

[Stanley]

Outright plays (2 units):

Gil Morgan to win 14/1 e.w. @ William Hill, Paddy Power and Boyle
Retaining two of last week's selections and putting their failings down to a weather-disrupted event. Morgan is still playing better than anyone else this term and he has an equally impressive record on this course. He has yet to win the event, but has three top-3 finishes in his six previous visits, none of which has seen him finish outside the top-15. He is still competitive even to finally secure this title.

Larry Nelson to win 16/1 e.w. @ Paddy Power
Nelson has won this title (1999) and finished 3rd last year, so the addition of good course form is plenty enough reason to maintain their selection. After three 2nd place finishes this season, he getting very close to ending his winless run which extends to October 2001 and this looks as good a week as any to break that run.

Dana Quigley to win 25/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Very surprised to see such a large price on Quigley after his 2nd place finish last week and 5th place the week before. He is already a winner on Tour this season and returns to a course on which he also has excellent form. Like Morgan, he has yet to win this event, but has three top-3 finishes in five years. He also completes a trio of selections that occupy the top-3 positions in the Tour 'All-Around' category, so they are obviously playing well. Will be very surprised if one of them does not earn a payout this week!

Matchup plays (2 units unless stated):

Allen Doyle to beat Dave Barr -122 @ Centrebet
Doyle doesn't like a player who wins events anymore, but he is still consistent and worthy of following for matchups. He leads Barr 4-1-0 in their last five events and while Barr has yet to play this course, Doyle can point to two top-5s and a top-15 finish in the last three years.

Tom Jenkins to beat Rodger Davis +100 @ Five Dimes
Jenkins is another who doesn't look a likely winner, but has become very consistent and certainly more than Davis. Their current form is comparable, though Davis has won once this year, but Jenkins does hold a decisive edge on this course. Davis finished 14th last year on his first visit; in three visits Jenkins has a worst-finish of 14th. Will bite at these odds.

Doug Tewell to beat David Eger -111 @ BetandWin
Tewell almost looked as if he might win again last week when he finished 6th. It continues his clear trend, bar the Emerald Coast Classic, of improving his finishing position every week this season. If he is returning to form, then he should easily beat Eger who has won and did finish 2nd last week, but only has two other top-30 finishes in eight starts this season. He is also a course rookie and Tewell has three year's experience here.

Ray Floyd to beat Jay Overton -145 @ Five Dimes
Since finishing 4th in the ACE Group Classic in February, Overton has struggled in his two Champions Tour events, which hardly compares to Floyd's two top-10s in three starts. With Overton also a course rookies and Floyd having finished in the top-15 in the three times that he has played at Greystone, there is too much in favour of him this week.

Gil Morgan to beat Bob Gilder -110 @ SkyBet [4 units]
Gilder has beaten Morgan in their last two events with finishes of 1st and 4th, but those are the only times in eight events that he has beaten Morgan this season and consistently failed to put three good events together last season. His record at Greystone does not match up to Morgan's and I think Morgan will finish ahead of him here again.

Tom Purtzer to beat Fuzzy Zoeller -130 @ Five Dimes
Last week was only the second time in seven events this season that Zoeller has finished ahead of Purtzer. With Purtzer having finished ahead last year when they both made their course debuts, these seem decent enough odds to back a player who has already won one title this season.

Dana Quigley to beat Fuzzy Zoeller -109 @ Gamebookers [6 units]
Quigley leads Zoeller 9-0-0 h2h this season and has a great record on this course (Zoeller finished 46th on his debut). Is there any need to say more other than welcome to Seniors matchups, Gamebookers!

No 1st round plays.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Haven't had a match bet on beards since 2nd event but will climb on with stan on this one.Hope I don't jinx ya Stan,nice find.
Quig -109 over Fuzzy @ Gamebookers

 

[Clive]

Well, SJ have finally had their fill of Dana and have trimmed him to 20/1...he really should be no bigger than 14 this week...has everything going for him.

Remaining faithful to Bobby Wadkins 50/1...two excellent rounds last week

Rodger Davis 50/1

and Gil Morgan 14 complete the line up

oh, almost forgot, Jay Overton 66/1 finished 2 in Monday's qualifier, can't miss him out.

Dear Sir,

thank you for your email.

Please note that the event in question is cancelled because it was posted as Quigley B. v Zoeller F., when it should have been Quigley D. Though the mistake might seem neglectable it could have caused misunderstanding and in a way misleading. Therefor, the event and all related bets are cancelled in accordance with our Terms&Conditions.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Devoted to you,

[Trampled Underfoot]

Rat Bastards!

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

One more thing I should add. My account there was empty so I threw in some money to wager on that matchup play but by the time my money was in there that matchup was off the board. However, the remaining matchups were still on the board. This was at least 3-4 hours before the tourney started. So they knew about this BEFORE the tourney started.

 

[Stanley]

Very interesting TU

One more thing, does anyone actually remember whether they had atually listed "Quigley B." rather than "Quigley D."?

Unfortunately, I had cleaned my files ready for this week's event just before I got the email from Gamebookers, but I have had one email that said it was Dana not Brett that was listed. Anyone else?

I am taking my frustration at two 2nd place finishes last week out on Gamebookers

 

[sandwedge]

sounds like a great scam. if zoeller wins, they say nothing. quigley wins, they erase the bets on a flimsy, at best, technicality. the only way that this doesn't amount to stealing would be if there were two quigleys on the senior tour which is not the case.
