FLORIDA: If you think they can't vote, wait till you see them drive.
OUTRIGHTS:
Nick Faldo(100/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
I see a live dog.
Briny Baird(125/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
I'll say that the son of Butch is not going to win many putting contests at this level, but he has given me no reason not to think that his name will make multiple appearances on the Sunday leaderboard at Doral during his career. I think his two top ten finishes this season is the key stat in assessing his current form, and on top of that, without checking the record, it sure seems to me that over at least the last 14 months, a player showing some good form that heads to a familiar stomping ground after being shown an early exit has been striking in their ability to come up big.
Nick Price(20/1 and 16/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
His record speaks for itself. He has been put through the wringer the last two weeks, and gauging how that circumstance plays out in his performance this week had me slow to commit to my full stake wager.
Scott Hoch(66/1) for 0.50* e.w @ Bet365
This is the first week in I don't know how long in which my first inclination has been to back Hoch instead of oppose him. I'll say he joins a large group of players that seemed to be attractively priced in a field without Woods or Els, and then remained attractive after I first heard mention of the fact that Singh and Mickelson had withdrawn. He's had his moments in Florida, the premium on shotmaking at Doral should appeal to him and play to the strengths of his all around game, he was comfortably under par and looked polished while taking a center stage waxing at the hands of Woods, and there is no denying that plenty of stalwarts in the old guard have been putting up a pretty solid stand this year as compared to last year at this time when it seemed like a procession of surprising faces were rising up as the flavor of the week.
Stewart Cink(50/1 and 40/1) for 0.50* e.w. @ Bet365
Looky who's finally back on a leaderboard. It's about time, and this seems a spot with some potential for moving forward off the form of recent weeks. I also nominate Cink for emerging as the poster child last week for a core of players that might be spurred on a bit by the unpleasant taste of having been a bystander to the proceedings on the much bigger stage (WGC match play event) that they were either used to sharing and expect to be a part of, or they just missed out on when the dust settled for that event.
MATCHUPS
The season is still young, but I'm certainly thinking that over the long haul I need to invest in more 72 hole matchups and fewer 18 hole minefields, but I also like getting involved and trusting my judgment after I invest my time in watching the proceedings unfold. I'm trying to do the right thing with a lengthy list before morning arrives in Dubai and Miami, but there was one matchup that was little more than point and click when it first came out.
Appleby(+120) over Duval (Tournament - Ties Push) for 1* @ Bet365

I assume the reason they took most of your plays off was because of the am-pm angle. Only Maru-Hoch is left at -117
