DOGS,
I also played it @WSEX last night at 9:06PM, when it was -105. Don't know if that was where it started. By 9:12PM, when I included it in a parlay, it was up to -110. Another example of huge line swings in golf, compared to many other sports. They seem to go against me >90% of the time, when they do move, so I am keen to jump on early lines WHENEVER POSSIBLE these days!

another I don't think will last just up @ Camelot.
Sluman -105 over Nobilo

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

adding Kendall -110 over Maruyams @ Camelot
Was +100 for a tick till someone hammered it.@#$@%&

 

[buckeye]

You're welcome, LOL!

Nobilo playing his 8th tourney in 9 weeks--hopefully he hits the wall this week. Any thoughts on how this type of scheduling will help/hinder his play? He has been making cuts every week. Still have to agree with DTB, like Sluman over Nobilo.

Dogs:

I'm sure you're aware of this, but Kendall and Stricker are Wisconsin natives as well.

GL, dude.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

adding Forsman -120 over Yokoo @ Camelot

Go to Camelot secondary matches.They are dropping them one bout every 2 minutes and they move within seconds after being posted. amazing. Got 5 left remaining if I can get @ -120 or less I going.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Thanks Chucky Was in rush to see what McRoy opened at.Got a break of bout five till next matches til another I'm lookin at hits.Back in a few

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
rrc I'm likin Nobilo just not against Slumam.Will look to play on him in other matches
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Damn Mark must be takin lunch break.Hasn't dropped one down in a few.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
trying to figure out why Mark's so proud of Barlow.They both play here 99 getting cut at 144 and 145 and in 99 Barlow again cut Jones finishes 31st.Current form would give edge to Jones also are call it draw at best.

Maybe its the $300,000/$26,000 ratio

Preview & outright plays:

The week before a foreign major and the effect on the field is obvious. Last year, the JP McManus pro-am in Limerick, Ireland has a stronger field than this event. No such embarrassment for the tournament this year, but only one player from the top-25 in the world rankings tees it up at Brown Deer Park (Scott Hoch). There will be less matchups on offer this week than usual, but for the rewards for homework on those less familiar faces will be all the greater!

The course, Brown Deer Park, is one of only three municipal courses on the PGA Tour - Torrey Pines and next week's En-Joie the other two - but is widely acclaimed for being one of the finest public courses in the country. Whether it is of PGA Tour standard is another question. It is extremely short for a Tour course, just over 6,700 yards and is also unusual in that it only has nine par-fours. Basically, despite this being a tree-lined course, it plays rather easy with 24-under-par being the winning score last year. Providing fairways can be found, this turns into a putting contest. No surprise that Loren Roberts has such a good record here!

Hoch heads the lists this week, but it was hard to see him winning an event before this year. To win two weeks in a row is still unthinkable despite him losing the silent "C" before his last name. Another player who is notably overlooked this week is Loren Roberts. He may have a great record in this event, but he has not finished in the top-25 in any event this year since the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. He should do better this week than in previous weeks, but that is too much of a slump to break.

The outright picks instead are Kenny Perry, Frank Lickliter and Jeff Sluman. With three top-10 finishes in his last five events - and 20th and 26th the other two - Perry is in great form at the moment. Having made his debut at Brown Deer Park and secured 3rd place, it is easy to see why he has returned this year and against a weak field a repeat of that performance is certainly on the cards.

Lickliter is another with good current and course form. He has finished in the top-10 in both of the last two weeks and represents a fine return to form after winning the Kemper Open seven weeks ago. The worries over his Sunday nerve are now fading - they did cost him last year as he slipped from 3rd to 9th with a final round 73 - and he looks good for a strong performance, despite being the shortest-priced of the three selections.

As for Sluman, he has a very solid record on this course - just one round over par since 1994 and a former winner of this event as well (1998). He may not be in the same form as the other two selections, but his play has been consistent albeit not matching the two top-3 finishes he achieved earlier in the season. If he can keep the ball on the fairway, he could well make another top-3 finish this week.

Outright plays:

Kenny Perry to win 33/1 e.w. @ Sports.com
Frank Lickliter to win 18/1 e.w. @ BetInternet or NetBetSports
Jeff Sluman to win 28/1 e.w. @ BetInternet

Also like K Jones against Barlow. His drive accuracy is better, his putting is better, and his par 3 average is much better.

 

[AussieVamp2]

been plenty of piling on of Kelly and Lickliter it seems!

 

[AussieVamp2]

Perry too, even

Hi Guys,

I was pleased to see that I came up with very similar selections to Ian and Stanley this week. It certainly does no harm to the confidence !!!!

Originally I had 5 outright picks, but their is no great achievement in picking the winner when you have tipped half the field !!!!

I have narrowed it down to the following 3 players:

Scott Hoch 9-1 @ Camelot
Jerry Kelly 28-1 @ NetBet
Jeff Sluman 30-1 @ Five Dimes

I could see why some would not consider Hoch good value this week, but his consistency is amazing, and his confidence has to be very high. Considering the quality of the field he deserves to be a clear favourite in my opinion.

I haven't seen any matchups that I am really keen on yet but will keep looking. I did like Sluman -105 vs Nobilo but as DTB mentioned the Camelot lines move very quickly. The value has gone in that one now.

Good luck to everyone. Lets see if we can carry on from where we left off last week.

 

[doonhamer]

I have to admit that Hoch is in brilliant form and has won this tournament twice but if someone told me a few weeks ago that Hoch the choke was going to be single figures to win a golf tournament I would have laughed my head of he must be a reformed character all the best Doonhamer

Doonhamer,

I probably would have laughed my head off as well, but if someone had told me that he was going to start single figures in a tournament with nobody else ranked in the top 37 in the world ....

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

and what about the odds in Hoch/Lickliter match with Frank as high as +160.Who would have thought that a few weeks ago. Dang near tempted to fire at that one but have already chomped on one similiar.If not for fact that he rarely throws in bad tourny after a good one I would be tempted.
----and what about the contest matchups this week.Tough as nails from my perspective.Scary!
