Round 4 play (4pts):
Jeff Overton to beat Padraig Harrington +100 @ 5Dimes [available generally]
Until he finished 38th last week, Overton had missed his last three cuts, but there was a good reason for this: he was carrying an injury that needed a cortisone shot into his collar bone the week of The Players Championship. Whereas most players would have been laid off by it, he tried to play through the injury in order to get in the top-60 of the World Rankings and so qualify for next week's U.S. Open. It didn't work, but he is now healthy again and in terms of his game, it is "as good as it's ever been". He could still qualify for next week with a win, but otherwise he is looking to secure his third top-10 finish here in five visits (all previous finishes in top-40); he is currently 4th. Harrington has been struggling with his game - three missed cuts in his last four starts - and his record here is not great - just one top-50 finish in five attempts. He is currently 11th alongside Overton, but he hit only four fairways and eight greens in regulation yesterday so the weakness in his game was evident in yesterday's round. He is yet to break 70 (averaging over 72) when starting the final round in the top-10 this year; he will need to strike the ball much better if he is to do so today.
