1st round at 5 dimes:

Jimenez -125 over Kaymer
McGinley +105 over Fasth

Stanley hope you have some European selections this week. Know you have been doing well in this tour and we need your expertise!

 

[sports student]

just for cllarification I do night mean to slight anyone here if they are also doing well on the European Tour. Unfortunately I have not been following the board here very closely and have only been looking at Stanley's plays when I come here. Hopefully this will change in the future. I wish everyone the best of luck on their plays.

Round 1 play (2pts):

Jyoti Randhawa to beat Steve Webster -110 @ Five Dimes
Being cautious in the 1st round as this is the first time that the Ryder Cup has been used, but I will oppose Webster who has missed the cut in three of the last four years at this resort with Randhawa who has finished in the top-20 in his two previous visits and has finished ahead of Webster in each of their last four common events, culminating in a top-5 finish at Wentworth last week

Round 2 play (2pts):

Gary Orr to beat Marc Warren -130 @ Five Dimes
It may be a new course, but Orr has finished 12th, 7th and 8th in the last three years in this event on this resort and he has shot a lower 2nd round score than Warren in all but one event this season

2nd round at 5 dimes:

Willett -125 over Bjorn

going with the big advantage Willett has vs Bjorn on current form

 

[Stanley]

Round 3 play (2pts):

Edoardo Molinari to beat Steve Strange +110 @ Five Dimes
Unusual to get plus odds opposing a mid-event leader with a four-shot lead; he will surely play more defensively tomorrow, particularly as he shot 78 the last time that he he held the lead after 36 holes . As for Molinari, he has finally overcome his long-term wrist injury with the use of a small rubber in his mouth (he couldn't explain it either!) and has shown some good form recently; he should continue tomorrow

Round 4 play (2pts):

Raphael Jacquelin to beat Alvaro Velasco +100 @ Five Dimes
I can only presume that Jacquelin is the underdog because of his very poor recent form, but that is clearly behind as he ranks 1st in greens in regulation this week. He is in the penultimate group with Robert Karlsson and they will undoubtedly draw a large crowd which will only add to inexperienced pairing of Velasco and Strange in the final group. Velasco has yet to appear in a final group on Sunday on this Tour, but he was 2nd at the start of the final round of the Italian Open three weeks ago and was 3-over-par after 8 holes on a course that yielded a winning score of 25-under-par
