Memorial Tournament
- Thread starter PGS
- Start date
Well...I goose egged on the three Texas tourneys, and haven't cashed a ticket since The Players Championship.
My picks this week are pretty much longshots, hoping for a Place or Show ticket or two.
Harrington 40-1 Win, 20-1 Place, 10-1 Show
Watney 50-1 Win, 25-1 Place, 12 1/2 Show
Marino 50-1 Win, 25-1 Place, 12 1/2 Show
Jason Day 100-1 Win, 50-1 Place, 25-1 Show
Ryan Moore 125-1 Win, 62 1/2 Place, 31-1 Show
Good luck to all...another great tourney!

Round 1 plays (1pt):
Jim Furyk to beat Davis Love -150 @ Paddy Power [tie loses]
Short odds, particularly with the 'ties lose' element, but Furyk's last three finishes read: 11th, 5th, 9th; Love's read: mc, 52nd, mc. In terms of course form, the last seven occasions that these have both played in this event, Furyk has finished ahead of Love every time.
Ian Poulter to beat James Nitties -182 @ Unibet
Short odds again, but they should be even shorter. This course is set up to be a good test ahead of the U.S. Open - provided the weather is not wet - and that is much better news for Poulter than Nitties. He ranks 1st in greens in regulation on the European Tour and 1st in scrambling on the PGA Tour, so there are no question marks over his short game around tough courses. The same cannot be said for Nitties who has shown some good form recently, but still ranks 131st in greens in regulation and 89th in putting average on the PGA Tour. Making his course debut he should struggle around here, unlike Poulter who has made the cut in three of four attempts.
Luke Donald to beat Padraig Harrington -110 @ The Greek [also available @ Bet365, William Hill and Carib]
Quite a difference in form between these two: Harrington has missed the cut in two of his last three events and hasn't played here since 2004; Donald has finished 2nd and 13th in his last two PGA Tour starts and finished 6th here last year. Harrington may be the one with Major titles to his name, but he is certainly opposable in regular Tour events.
Charl Schwartzel to beat Matt Bettencourt -175 @ Unibet
This event throws up some unusual matchups with its international field, but there should really only be one winner of this matchup. Schwartzel has one of the best short games on the European Tour - he ranks 11th in scrambling and 3rd in greens in regulation - and has used it to make the cut in both his previous attempts in this event. Bettencourt, on the other hand, does not have the game to compete on tough courses: he ranks 178th in greens in regulation, 110th in scrambling and 164th in putting average on the PGA Tour. Showing no particular form of late, it is unlikely that he will play in all four rounds on his course debut.
Jason Dufner to beat James Driscoll -120 @ Five Dimes
Two players showing good form over the past month, but even though Driscoll is the only one to have course form here, it is not very good: he has missed the cut on both occasions, shooting 76-73 in 2005 and 78-81 last year. With Dufner having a much better short game, he should perform much better on his course debut, particularly as this event is in his home State.

Those Watney odds are redic. He has been the better player over camillo for a while..
I like the fade on Adam Scott, he made the cut last week, but struggled badly with all stats.. if this course is as tough as everyone is saying, it should eat his lunch

I really needed this the way the day is going but Vill came up one short.
Three Units :
Geoff Ogilvy over Jim Furyk @ - 105. Lost by 5.
Sean O'Hair over Zach Johnson @ - 115. Lost by 5.
Two Units :
Stewart Cink over Mike Weir @ - 105. Won by 1.
Nick Watney over Steve Marino @ - 115. Lost by 5.
Tiger Woods over Kenny Perry @ - 215. Won by 3.
&Tiger Woods over Kenny Perry @ - 265. Won by 3.
Fortunately this was 2 two unit plays so it was actually a four unit play.
Helps ease the pain but certainly didn't salvage the day.
One Unit :
K J Choi over Justin Rose @ - 105. Won by 7.
Vijay Singh over Paul Casey @ - 105. Lost by 2.
Padraig Harrington over Luke Donald @ - 115. Lost by 11.
Hunter Mahan over Robert Allenby @ - 115. Lost by 2.
Originally my last pass but since I've hit them all the time in the past, I added it back. Go figure.
