Outright plays (1.5pts):
Chris DiMarco to win 25/1 e.w. @ SkyBet, Victor Chandler, Ladbrokes, UKBetting and Totalbet
Hoping that Vijay will show the effects of playing in the damp and cold of the U.K. in the last two weeks, else he is a very strong candidate to earn his fourth consecutive PGA Tour title. If Vijay does stutter, DiMarco should be one of the favourites to capitalise. He has finished in the top-6 in four of his last six starts and led this event for most of the week in 2002, only to be denied by a final round 65 by Bob Burns. In this putting contest at Disney, DiMarco's Claw may give him just enough edge.
Zach Johnson to win 50/1 e.w. @ GolfingGods
Disappointed after a promising opening 68 last week, but still retained at these odds. His failings last week were with his short game, but it is worth noting that his putts per GIR rose in each round and after taking 30 putts in the first round, he then took 31, 31 and 36. It is clear that he coasted after a poor second nine on Friday took him out of contention and that is shown by the drop in concentration in his short game. He still ranked 1st in driving accuracy and 5th in greens in regulation on the week, so his game is still in good condition. It had earned him four consecutive top-15 finishes up to last week, including two top-3 finishes and he has prospered in Florida where he lives - in his last two events in this State this year, he has finished 13th and 6th, so there is every reason to expect a much stronger performance this weekend if he is in contention.
Duffy Waldorf to win 80/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes
Another who had shown good form until last week with three consecutive top-15 finishes. His last Tour victory came in this event in 2000, so he is another who should remain on the leaderboard if in contention at the start of the week. Should be no more than 50/1.
