MasterCard Masters

[Stanley]

Outright plays (1.5 units):

Stuart Appleby to win 12/1 e.w. @ UKBetting and Heathorns
But for an opening 74 when he was feeling ill, Appleby would have won last week's Australian PGA Championship and spared us the controversy of the second shared title in three weeks. With top-20 finishes in each of his three previous visits to Huntingdale, including one top-5, he looks to be perfectly prepared for a decent finale to a memorable season.

Craig Parry to win 14/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
It certainly became a memorable season for Parry once he won the WGC NEC Invitational. In his last starts he has finished 4th in the Buick Challenge, 2nd in the Australian Open and 19th in the Australian PGA Championship and while that may be encouraging, it is nothing to his record at Huntingdale. He has collected three gold jackets in the last ten years and has had a number of runners-up finishes as well. His record on this Tour has always been impressive even when he was struggling on the PGA Tour and Parry looks set to a feature on the leaderboards this week.

Peter O'Malley to win 22/1 e.w. @ BetInternet
While not winning this event, O'Malley can also boast an excellent record at Huntingdale. He lost in a playoff to Peter Lonard in 1997 and has followed that with finishes of 10th, 12th, 7th and 3rd. After a top-20 finish in the controversial Australian Open, he improved in every round last week to finish 8th and while he cannot catch Parry at the top of the Australasian Tour Order of Merit, another solid performance this week will consolidate his position in 2nd place.

0.5 ew Hend (100/1 Sportingbet)
winner in Canada, placed in Asia and Aus this year. Looks like a trier the amount of tours he has tried...seems to be getting something from it as well...
just spotted he was 7th here in 1999, Appleby was 13th...seems to be playing better this year...

Just a note that be of interest.I made comment last week on adj scoring ave on current form (not course form) on Stans stats.
To date these have proved quite enlightening on outrights on silly tours considering players from US and Euro coming into picture in off season.

Of these that set under 72 adj ave (15)this week all but 2 Allenby and Watson played last week.
Of the 13 that played last week only one missed the cut,Coles who I chose in outrights
One other R Green finished 39th
the remaining 11 were all top 20,with 8 top 10,and 4 top 5
Appleby 3rd
Baddeley 6th
Chalmers 5th
Faldo 11th
Lonard 1st
Moseley 1st

[bettingmad]

I can see a repeat of the NEC World Series.... taken some 14/1 Craig Parry at the Tote (1/5 lst 5) and 14/1 Robert Allenby at Victor Chandler (1/4 lst 4).

 

[Ian]

After last weeks poor performance on a course that he has played well on in the past I cannot bring myself to back Parry - cue a win!
Agree with Stan on O'Malley and took the 25/1 Betfair, also gone for Rumford - best form here last 2 years when in almost as bad form as he is now - 66/1 a fair bet.(Sean Graham, Sportstab)

tempting to split account balance @ SB between Baddeley and Faldo in this 3ball there.

I agree DTB

Matchup plays (1.5 units unless stated):

Robert Allenby to beat Aaron Baddeley +100 @ Victor Chandler
Opposing Baddeley again, or least while he is opposed with such A-grade players. Had a disappointing weekend last week compounded by a irksome failure to tap the ball in the hole from a couple of inches. Should be in contention this week, but his record on this course is not special, particularly when compared to Allenby who has six top-10 finishes from nine visits. Will take Allenby at this price and presume any jetlag will be short-lived.

Peter Lonard to beat Aaron Baddeley -111 @ BetandWin
Would normally avoid siding with last week's champion, but it was such an anti-climax - and certainly in comparison to when Lonard holed the 50-foot putt on the last hole to force the playoff - that I don't think that rule is particularly applicable this week. With an excellent course record - four top-10s including a win (1997) in the last six years - and a desire to keep playing until the very end - he currently stands 52nd in the World Rankings and the top-50 are invited to the 2003 Masters - Lonard should certainly finish in the top-10.

Peter Lonard to beat Peter O'Malley -120 @ SkyBet
Hedging one of the outrights. With a top-10 finish expected from Lonard, then there is every chance that this will be a winner if O'Malley doesn't secure the place win.

Tony Carolan to beat Ty Tryon -154 @ BetandWin [3 units]
Big price, but I don't see Tryon even making the cut this week. He's played seven PGA Tour events this year, making the cut once. H's played one Buy.com Tour event and missed the cut. He doesn't travel well either. He's played two European Tour events and missed the cut both times and two Japan Tour events and made the cut just once. This is his first time in Australia, so it is very easy to side with a player who has made all six cuts on this Tour in the last two months and secured three top-10 finishes along the way.

John Senden to beat Brett Rumford -125 @ Five Dimes
Opposing Rumford who has had a frustrating year. After 16 missed cuts in 28 events to lose his European Tour Card, he then missed out on regaining it at the Qualifying School by a single shot. He did fly straight back to compete in last week's Australian PGA Championship and finished 39th. After a solid year on the PGA Tour, Senden has finished 30th and 19th in the last two Australasian Tour events and while he cannot match Rumford's course form, he does look much better prepared for this week's event.

Sheeez Stan I wish you wouldn'y have told me bout Baddeleys putt. LOL The line on Carolan/Tyson moved from -111 to current in one jump.Someone loaded the wagon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Didn"t have the nads to empty account but took double position on it.Surely Murph will have mercy after last weeks fiasco on Baddeley and Jones:nooo:. Will not count this in match-up totals but in the S&G catagory.

interesting scoring info on pgatour.com.au site.
look at full leaderboard, then any players card..you will see their score for the second round...to be played tomorrow...

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

1st rd 1-0
crawford/dougherty win

Need it after after push/loss on 3ball. After the fact still pondering whether it was good wager,or very stupid wager considering risk/reward.---and I'm still leaning toward good wager. I believe Baddeley and Murph are are kin as he again throws in double on last hole.

I'll go have a look Steved, it may be next day edition thing

 

[Ian]

Adding another player after round 1 - Andrew Buckle the 20yr old who was the 2001 Amateur Champion won on his pro debut last month - shot a good level par 1st round - now trades between 25 and 40 - had to take the 80 and 64 at Betfair.

2nd rd @ 5dimes
Turner -102 over Rumford
Handled him convincingly in Aus Champ(3 out 4 rds) . I'll look at with these #'s

Anyone know what the cut is here?

[Stanley]

DTB, the cut came at +6 ... the top-60 players and ties.

Mid-point update:

Allenby/Baddeley Leads by 5
Lonard/Baddeley Leads by 8
Lonard/O'Malley WON by 9
Carolan/Tryon Trails by 2
Senden/Rumford Trails by 2

Appleby 42nd
Parry 10th
O'Malley mc

Could still be a good event. The only match decided at the cut is a winner and while Baddeley made the cut on the mark, Allenby and Lonard have healthy leads to defend over the weekend. It remains for at least one of Carolan, Senden and Parry to perform over the last 36 holes to turn this into a profitable event.
