Doral : The WGC Cadillac Championship

[Full court press]

72 holes

Casey +125 over Koepka

Brooks has undeniable talent, he's going to be a star, but faces a talented veteran who has rededicated himself and is in peak form. I'll take the plus money

Bubba +115 over Rory

Its no secret that Bubba plays very well here. Rory not on a roll on US soil ... yet

Round 1 plays (4pts):

Matt Kuchar to beat Rickie Fowler -108 @ Pinnacle (also available @ 5Dimes, The Greek and Carib)
Fowler looks a player to oppose at the moment. He has played in four events this year and has yet to secure a top-40 finish and he has finished well down the leaderboard in each of the last three years here. No such problems for Kuchar who should have won at least once this year already and has a very good record on this course.

Bubba Watson to beat Jason Day -110 @ 5Dimes
Day is another who has struggled on this course: in three previous visits, he has finished 45th, 20th and 33rd. Watson has been a runner-up twice in the last three years and has shown enough form this suggest that the World #2 is likely to be a very strong contender at Doral once again.

Ryan Moore to beat Branden Grace -110 @ 5Dimes
Grace's form cannot be ignored - he has won twice this year already, in Qatar and South Africa, but he has always struggled to transfer that form to North America. In this event, his finishes read 35th, 49th, and 40th, and in 25 events in the U.S., he has yet to record a single top-15 finish. I can't see Moore as a title contender this week, but a top-25 finish does look likely - he has met that mark in three of four events this year and two of three previous visits to Doral.

Good to see you back sir. Kucher makes a lot of sense. Think that Day may be sitting on a really big year but thats too nice of a number on a guy that loves Doral.

Best of luck

Scott over Day -126

Scott looked refreshed and ready to go with the short putter. Day had the lefts all day long and thats a ticket to disaster at Doral. Don't think he quickly rebounds

Bubba +105 over Rory in Round #2

Happy Gaming!

 

[Stanley]

Round 2 plays (2pts):

Jordan Spieth to beat Patrick Reed +120 @ SkyBet
I'll take these odds on Spieth to bounce back - he has finished 7th or better in six of his last seven starts, winning twice. Reed is the defending champion, but he wouldn't typically be priced as a favourite against Spieth.

Charl Schwartzel to beat Louis Oosthuizen -125 @ Paddy Power
A good first round of the year for Oosthuizen to match Schwartzel and finish the day in 13th place, but a strong first round followed by poor subsequent rounds is rather common after an extended layoff. With Schwartzel having a much better history on this course, he is backed to be more likely maintain this good start.

Jimmy Walker to beat Patrick Reed +100 @ Bet365
Opposing Reed as a favourite again. Walker has shown enough form to be #1 in the FedEx standings and matched his opponent to finish 13th yesterday. I'd make him pick'em at worst.

[unofficial rd2 system plays: Stenson tb Koepka -125; Fisher tb Ilonen -120]

Scott over Bubba +101

Sticking with Adam Scott who has been very very good in his return sans the long putter. He looks rested, relaxed and like he's really ready to take a run at #1. I'll go to the well once more.

Take Garcia -120 over Furyk Round #3

Happy Gaming!

 

[Stanley]

Round 3 plays (4pts):

Henrik Stenson to beat Dustin Johnson +100 @ The Greek [available generally]
The World #3 shouldn't be the underdog in this matchup. He is far more consistent than Johnson who has been very hit-and-miss in his four events since his return to the Tour and the Swede has a far better record of closing out events when in contention. Add in a dominant 16-5-2 h2h record in Stenson's favour since 2013 and I would make him the clear favourite in this matchup.

Jim Furyk to beat Sergio Garcia +101 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes, The Greek and Carib]
Garcia is another who struggles to close out events as was shown two weeks ago and he is again inside the top-10. Furyk is a shot further back, but he is a far more consistent top-15 finisher and so is a player to side with in matchups.

Webb Simpson to beat Charl Schwartzel +100 @ 5Dimes [also available @ Pinnacle, Paddy Power, The Greek and Carib]
Again backing the underdog in the matchup. Both players in 11th place, but the fact that Simpson has hit more greens in regulation this week suggests that he should perform better on Moving Day. However, stronger evidence is found in their Round 3 Scoring Average figures. Schwartzel ranks 199th (of 208) in this category this year and this is not exceptional - in each of the last five seasons that he has been a PGA Tour member, he has ranked a very long way behind Simpson in this category and this is something that Simpson ranks particularly highly in. Over a five year period, that is enough evidence that Simpson is a player to back on Moving Day on the PGA Tour, whereas Schwartzel is much less so.
