A change of format and loads more money means that all the big names turn up...

And some nice prices too..

Jim Thorpe 125 (Hills now 66), SIAS...IMO Thorpe is still one of the best senior players...he hasn't done much so far, but there are some lengthy par fives on this course which he will be able to reach, and he did ok in the pairs event last year. Not suited by the accurate tracks used so far.

Doug Tewell 33...much featured here, and far too big at Centrebet..was robbed by the weather last week..he was sure to beat Eichelbottler, runner up here last year

John Jacobs 50/1 Bet 365, Centrebet ...20/1 everywhere else sums up his chances

Also can't resist Zoeller at a too big 66 with Hills

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Stopped by 365 to give my respect to the Bushmasters for token wager on Jacobs and they have taken him down temporarily.Will wait and see what SIA puts up on him tomorrow for place wager .

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

365 Has him now lined @ 40/1 and SIA 20/1 after review will settle on just 1 outright this week with all the guns in at short odds. It is one that Clive also spotted initially.
Thorpe 31.5 1 unit to Place @ Sia.
I see where 365 has dropped him to 40/1 to win while Sia still has him @ 125/1. Believe I like him better than Jacobs and its not like asking him to do something he hasn't accomplished before with 7 top 4's last year and 1 this year.

Outright plays:

Hale Irwin to win 6/1 @ Surrey
The change in format has brought a much better field on view this week and more deserving of the title. Irwin is a new face at The King & Bear and should pick up where he finished at the Siebel Classic where he shot a brilliant 67 in the very cold and windy final round at the Siebel Classic. That lifted him to 5th place, his worst finish since Hawaii. Any semblance of that form this week and he should win at a canter.

Gil Morgan to win 16/1 e.w. @ Bet365, Surrey or NetBetSports
Was going to drop him after his disappointing performance as a selection last week, though he was making better progress in the cancelled final round. Basically, he is re-selected because of his record in this event, albeit paired with Hubert Green. He has played in this event for the last five years and finished 2nd, 10th, 1st, 3rd and 4th. Good course knowledge should see a better performance from the optometrist.

Doug Tewell to win 25/1 e.w. @ Bet365 (33/1 Centrebet, four places)
Robbed of a victory chance last week, he will surely contend this week. He finished 3rd last year so can boast local knowledge and is a far better player than the odds imply. Let's hope he makes amends for last week's injustice.

Apologise in advance... had a little 14/1 Tewell after lst round... sorry lads!

Final update:

Outrights: 1-2; +13.63 units

Irwin 6th
Morgan 13th
Tewell 1st

Irwin threatened early on, Morgan never did, but Tewell made up for last week's frustration by holding off Bobby Wadkins for a one-shot win. With Pettersson winning in Portugal, it looks like a poor decision to drop the usual stakes on these Tours to just one unit because there was no course form

Senior PGA Tour ytd
Matchups: 7-4; +4.77 units
Outrights: 7-13; +63.88 units

 

[bettingmad]

This Senior tour is easy... only ever backed one loser in my entire career!

 

[Clive]

You may have to address your staking plans, Stan!

Tewell making an early bid to be my player of the year!

Looking forward to having most of this week off away from studying form as Seniors and LPGA have a rest.
