Kemper Insurance Open
- Thread starter Stanley
- Start date
Notwithstanding the proximity to the U.S. Open, The Kemper Open and TPC at Avenel are an event and venue that usually escaped my radar before golf outs on the internet found me and I found them. Nondescript all the way. Woburn, too. With that dynamic I expected very little this week, but Thursday instead arrives with a decent feeling about my card, always hoping for better informed and even more confident opportunities after the week is underway.
OUTRIGHTS:
Phil Tataurangi (40/1 for 0.30* e.w.@ Bet365)
I see enough dynamics in Phil's profile to make him an interesting bet to bust through here for the first time, or to contend along the way. What I really decided is that the fumes from a fine final Sunday pairing with Nick Price make him a live choice to start well on Thursday.
Stuart Appleby(28/1 for 0.30* e.w.@ Olympic)
I'm at least 0-3 with Appleby in posted and unposted matches during the season, so now he earns my money as an Outright selection. Stranger things have happened, but not usually to me. Maybe he is trending well toward the Open.
MORE OUTRIGHTS:
In the last three weeks I have had a piece of Maruyama, Toms, Faldo and Singh, while dancing around several others during the last four weeks that would have paid as well or better. I would feel remiss if I didn't punch the accelerator just a little.
Allen Doyle(10/1 for 0.30* e.w.@ Bet 365)
I was leaning to Doyle, and was sold when Stanley noted the connection between certain golfers and various or specific celebrity events.
Morris Hatalsky(16/1 for 0.30* e.w. @ Bet365)
I was asleep at the switch last week when I heard the touting about the linemaker's mistake. I'm not too proud or too dense to scrounge about the scene for any residual value.
Justin Rose (25/1 for 0.30* e.w. @ Bet365)
My initial take was that having some idle hours last weekend would have this now finely maturing golfer determined to earn some cheers on home soil (albeit transplanted home soil). For the VERY little it's worth, I was similarly determined after Justin confirmed my thinking with this post at his website: (28 May, Woburn) "Arrived here yesterday after my 'weekend off' and the game is in good shape. I'm not sure what happened last week - I drove the ball well, which is what you need to do at Wentworth, but just not seem to get the luck you need sometimes on a golf course. This week I am staying at Ian Poulter's house, which is five minutes from the course and my grandparents are across from South Africa to watch too, so everything off the course is sorted! Hopefully I'll do better this week as I seem to have underperformed in tournaments in England - maybe because all my mates are watching - so hopefully this week I can focus on getting the job done."
And a $2 parlay on Stricker(40/1) and Leaney(50/1) e.w. @ Bet 365. Leaney was circled on my card, and Stricker made it to my final cut. You heard it here last.
Still finalizing my slate of matchups . . .

Lickliter -110 over Calcavecchia (5 dimes) tournament
Lickliter -113 over Calcavecchia (5 dimes) 1st round
Lickliter has him in current form, course form and going with Stanley's anti Calc stance. For those that may not know, including myself sometimes, I found these matchups under "propositions" not under the regular "straight bets" category. Good luck everybody! By the way Infinity's questionable lines on round matchups last week must have bit them as I don't see any round matchups there this week so far.

strange week...I picked out Beckman and P-UJ for Kemper, and Fasth for Brit Masters...nice treble up of non-runners...
MATCHUPS and GROUPS for 1*:
Leonard(-130) over Olazabal (72 holes) @ Olympic
I thought both sides of this equation computed differently.
Lehman(-135) over Calcavecchia (72holes) @ 5dimes
I don't forsee me riding Lehman's new belly putter beyond this week, but I like the matchup here. (Regardless of the outcome, thank you to sports student for helping me find this play in "Propositions". I had been scratching my head and wondering how the heck Stanley came up with it earlier, and at far better odds.)
Tataurangi(-115) over Elkington (1st Round) @ Bet365
The numbers at this venue may rate a wash, but I found plenty of numbers in arguably analagous situations that were to my liking.
Stricker(7/2) over Elkington/Sutton/Couples/Norman (72 holes) @ Bet365
This dog has fleas, but choosing between Elkington or Sutton as being my second choice eliminated from my mind the thought of hedging this bet.
I wanted to go against Couples snapping out of it on a TPC track, but the matchups and/or odds I found available to me were just not there for a full unit.

Please note that on my original post that Scott Hoch did not start. I thought I had heard that his eye was better, I guess not.

Tataurangi had a very colourful scorecard for his lst round... only 4 pars in 18 holes... can't remember noticing that few pars before. 8 birdies and an eagle but 4 under par!
Had no 1st rounders(fortunately)for would have took a drubbing according to my player ledger.

Mid-point update:
Triplett/Armour All Square
Lehman/Calcavecchia LOST by 5
DiMarco/Olazabal Leads by 3
Lickliter/Franco LOST by 5
Stricker/Tataurangi LOST by 5
Leonard 32nd
DiMarco 18th
Appleby 66th
0-3 in completed matchups is not good, but can still break even if DiMarco holds off Olly and Triplett beats Armour. Would take break-even looking when looking at the leaderboard after 36 holes. Lots of inexperience and long winless streaks there, so DiMarco and Leonard could yet get something out of this week.

ChuckytheGoat,
He has it correct, it was Tripp vs Freddie for 72 holes. He isn't picking the continuation, just recappin his cappin.
Infinity has some very interesting 3rd rounders up!

The clock has run out on waiting for the best offer like a good shopper should. I'm down the road for the weekend.
Fundamentals, technical, situational, valuist, contrarian. Situational best describes me.
Greg Norman(9/2 for 0.5* e.w. @ Bet 365)
40-something legends have been known to summon the best within themselves in just such circumstances.

With 18 holes to go, Leonard and Appleby are within range to Place. Herron blew up today, carding an 81 and his chances are gone.
