KLM Open

[Stanley]

Round 1 play (2pts):

Ross Fisher to beat Martin Kaymer -105 @ Five Dimes
Two players on the bubble for Ryder Cup qualification, but even though Kaymer showed a return to some form last week, it will surely hurt his game to have played two events in the U.S. and another in Sweden in the last three weeks. Fisher will be fresher after skipping last week's event and whereas Kaymer has yet to play this course, Fisher is the defending champion, so should hardly be the underdog in this matchup

3rd round at 5 dimes:

Ross Fisher +105 over kaymar

went with Stan on 1st round win in this match. Kaymar took the 2nd round so I am jumping back in on the 3rd round.

Round 4 plays (2pts):

John Bickerton to beat Damien McGrane -102 @ Five Dimes
Good odds on the player who is #1 ranked in greens in regulation this week - McGrane is 49th of 64 - and has finishes of 3rd and 7th in the last two months; the fact that he is four shots behind the leader will help reduce any final round pressure

Peter Baker to beat Daniel Vancsik -110 @ Five Dimes
Whereas Bickerton ranks 1st in greens in regulation this week, Vancsik is dead last, hitting just 50% of greens compared to Bickerton's 82%. Baker, at mid-table on the leaderboard and 152nd in the Order of Merit, should have plenty to play for in the final round, but Vancsik's Tour Card is safe for next year and in his current form, a second successive 76 looks quite likely
