Irish Open

[Stanley]

Round 1 plays (2pts):

James Kingston to beat Daniel Vancsik -118 @ Five Dimes
Opposing Vancsik who has never made a cut in Ireland - probably due to his poor record in windy conditions - and lost by eight shots to Kingston last year after just 36 holes

Martin Kaymer to beat Darren Clarke -110 @ Bet365
Paul McGinley to beat Darren Clarke +105 @ Unibet
Clarke may have been a very popular winner of the Asian Open three weeks ago, but it also means that he is significantly underpriced for his home Open this week and so should be worth opposing. Before his victory in China (when Kaymer was 7th), Clarke had finished behind Kaymer in seven consecutive events and in their last 10 common events, Clarke had finished ahead of McGinley only twice. There may be a lot of sentiment in the betting for Clarke, but the value should lie in opposing him
