Round 2 plays (4pts):
Adam Scott to beat Dustin Johnson -103 @ Expekt [also available @ Bet365 and Paddy Power]
With a top-10 position at the end of day one, Scott looks set to secure his third top-10 finish in a row at Augusta National and continues to look the most likely Australian to break their duck in this event. He hasn't finished behind Johnson for over six months and given that Johnson's best finish in this event is 30th, I'll certainly back Scott at underdog odds.
Adam Scott to beat Sergio Garcia -107 @ Pinnacle [available generally]
My systems had flagged up Garcia over Scott as a play for day one, but I discounted it as this was his first event back since he hurt his shoulder and his achilles in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He said after his round that he had no pain, but was not fully convincing. Either way, he is 1-for-15 when leading after round 1 and it has been nine years since he finished in the top-10 here.
Tiger Woods to beat Justin Rose -159 @ Expekt
Rose has finished ahead of Tiger just once in seven previous visits to Augusta National and with Tiger having won three times already this year, the gap between the World #1 and #3 is pretty large at the moment.
Tiger Woods to beat Luke Donald -185 @ 5Dimes [available generally]
And it is even wider between the World #1 and a free-falling #4. Donald does have three top-10 finishes in eight attempts on this course, but he has never really been right in the battle for leadership. With five bogeys on his card yesterday, it doesn't look as though he will reverse his declining fortunes this week either.
Jason Day to beat Padraig Harrington -189 @ Unibet
It was a good recovery yesterday from Day who was two-over-par after six holes - he finished the day in 13th place. Harrington moved in the opposite direction - he was 1-under-par after five holes, but shot 78 to finish the day in 82nd place. With the Irishman struggling with his short game, this should be a very short week for him.
