72-hole plays:
Stewart Cink to beat Robert Damron -111 @ Simon Bold
Damron has never played well on this course and coming off his dramatic win last week, he is expected to suffer a fallout this week. Cink's form has been very erratic this year, but barring last year's collapse he does have a very good record at Colonial and should easily make the cut
Scott Verplank to beat Robert Damron -150 @ Sporting Odds [3 units]
Verplank's course form is almost as good as Cink's and he has been much more consistent this year. There is a chance of an adverse reaction to his playoff defeat last week, but that could apply to both and their histories in this event are extremely different. Damron should struggle to make the cut this week
Nick Price to beat Brad Faxon -140 @ Moneyplays
Faxon's form has been somewhat erratic of late, but he did finish 11th last week. However, this course is not one for putting specialists, the event will be won elsewhere and this will favor Price far more
Scott Verplank to beat Brad Faxon -111 @ Simon Bold [2 units]
Same as above. Excellent form from Verplank should be more than enough to beat Faxon. The only doubt is over his reaction to his playoff defeat
Jim Furyk to beat Mike Weir -111 @ Simon Bold
Weir has been very impressive at times this year, but it is easy to oppose someone who ranks outside the top-100 in driving accuracy, this week at least. With Furyk inside the top-15 in both fairways hit and greens in regulation, he should do well here, barring injury
There seems to be an awful lot of agreement in here

1st round plays:
Nick Price to beat Brad Faxon -137 @ Five Dimes
Tom Lehman to beat Jesper Parnevik -112 @ Five Dimes
Kirk Triplett to beat Kenny Perry -115 @ Five Dimes
FWIW, all the 72-plays above are now available @ Five Dimes and Verplank over Damron is at shorter odds

3balls surry
1/2 unit combo: software does not project payoff unbelievably.
Garcia 1/1
Durant 1/1
Mick 4/5
Mayfair 6/4
1 unit Durant
Note 1st 3 should be completed by start of Mayfair match. If 1st 3 won will hedge with 3 units on Mediate in Mayfair 3ball match.

Frank Deford wrote a funny column how the titles for articles for womens' magazines are similar to the ones for golf magazines.
At least I thought it was funny.

1st round results todays matches 3-0
Toms/Weir win by 3
Funk/Maruyama win by 2
Mick/Duval win by 4
72 hole standings
Toms/Weir 3 up
Mayfair/Kelly 3 up
Maruyama/Norman 4 up
Mick/Singh 4 up
Sutton/Faxon 2 up
Cook/Dunlap 2 down
Outrights Toms hanging in Durant went 5 over today which surprised me.Had been playing great in wind.
3balls split Weir and mick winning and Durant and Mayfair losing with mayfair beating Mediate but losing to McCallister.Would have been bite in A$$ to hedge and lose on throwout.
Tough courses and conditions sure weed out a lot of surprises. Thought Lanny Wadkins had interesting comment on Sutton on why despite having all the right stats to excell on this course usually plays poorly.He attributed to Suttons short comings on short game as his weak link and failing to get up and down when missing these small greens.

1st round update: 3-0-0 and +3.00 units
A nice way to start the week
Convincing wins for all three as the morning players enjoyed the easier conditions. Price beat Faxon by four, Lehman beat Parnevik by three and Triplett beat Perry by four. The 72-hole plays stand 3-2-0 after 18 holes with the only losses to Damron. He holds a one-shot lead over Cink and a four-shot lead over Verplank. However, better news with opposing Faxon who trails Price by four shots and Verplank by one. In the other match, Furyk leads Weir by five.
Even a good day on the outrights. Furyk leads the event alongside Mickelson, while Toms is 4th. Only Price shot over-par of the picks on a day when scoring was difficult because of course. What a refreshing change!
Nice start DTB
Could this be the week to buck our trends?

AV Couldn't agree more. The worst I've ever used.Have to hit the nonsecure deal 1st then refresh screen to pull site.No projected returns on parlays is quite unusual also.
HOWEVER do like all the tours they provide odds for.

2nd round update: 2-2-1 and +0.69 units
Break-even day as the largest dogs win and the only losses were by one shot. Cink dropped four shots in his last five holes, but still limped home one shot ahead of Furyk, while Watts lost by one shot to Flesch in the other 3-unit play. In the rest, Tway beat DiMarco by four, Mayfair lost to McCarron by one and Singh and Mickelson were tied.
Three of the five 72-hole plays were decided at the cut, but only one was a winner. Price and Faxon both missed the cut, but Price had taken one shot less. The bad news was that Verplank withdrew. The particularly bad news was that the two Verplank plays were the strongest of the 72-hole plays: 5 units on two plays
One of his opponents, Brad Faxon missed the cut, while Damron finished two shots inside the cut mark, but that's academic now. In the remaining plays, a collapsing Cink finished the 2nd round level with Damron and Furyk leads Weir by five.
Of the outrights, Price missed the cut by one and both Furyk and Toms went through difficult stretches today and fell off the leaderboard. But in 11th and 14th position respectively they are still very much in contention.
At the risk of repeating myself again ... nice day DTB

Will try and push good fortunes to the limit and parlay all 5 matches up currently at Wsex for 1/2 unit
Mick-Mediate-McCallister-Trip-Leonard $10 returns $360
Mick-Mediate-McCallister-Trip-Leonard $10 returns $360
A lot of players obviously didn't enjoy having birdie opportunities served up on a plate for them
Dudley Hart, Carlos Franco, David Berganio and Rory Sabbatini all withdrew after the 1st round. Verplank at least played five holes yesterday before pulling out.
3rd round plays
Sposa -115 over Coceres @ 5dimes
Kendall -125 over Chamblee @$plays
Funk -110 over Flesch @ $plays
72 hole cont @ Oly
Funk +100 over Maruyama currently 1 down
See where Sportingbet has went to matches with and without ties lose now.If they are trying to get players they better adjust the 37 1/2 cent lines.

Still a positive development DTB
We British are not noted for giving up the old ways, but slowly we're dropping betting tax & now ties
And -118.5 is not that different to -115 for 18-hole match bets.
