Angel Cabrera to beat Carl Pettersson -111 @
Ladbrokes
Pettersson beat Cabrera in both the Scottish Open and the British Open, but these were the only times that Cabrera has missed the cut this year and these are the only two occasions in 18 joint events that Pettersson has prevailed. With no course experience, I can't see Pettersson beating the Argentinean this week.
Niclas Fasth to beat Paul Casey -111 @
Ladbrokes
Expecting a good performance from Fasth who finished top-25 last year. It has commented that he is one of the Ryder Cup players out of form, but ignore his disappointing performance in the U.S. last month and his last six finishes read: 37th (U.S. Open), 2nd, 6th, 41st, 28th (British Open) and 6th. Casey is not yet Ryder Cup calibre and this is reflected in the fact that he has beaten Fasth just once in their past ten meetings.
Niclas Fasth to beat Ian Poulter -111 @
Victor Chandler
Poulter erratic play is highlighted by his current pattern of good week-bad week and the yo-yo theory suggests a good week for the Englishman. But with Fasth playing well in Europe and having beaten Poulter in their last five meetings, I think this one will be decided more by Fasth than Poulter.
Nick Faldo to beat Miguel Angel Jimenez -120 @
William Hill
Faldo has disappointed in the last two majors, but his form this remains strong. He fell down the leaderboard last Sunday to 18th place when pushing too hard for the high finish that could earn him entry into next week's WGC event. Not such prospect for Jimenez who has secured just one top-10 finish since the Masters and fell away badly from a promising position last week.
Nick Faldo to beat Ian Woosnam -120 @
Victor Chandler
Woosie was simply awful in Germany two weeks ago. He finished 126th and hit just over half the greens in regulation on a course where 24-under-par won. He has a good record on this course, but looks too out of form to contend this week.
