Round 1 play (4pts):
Jim Furyk to beat Ernie Els +100 @ Paddy Power [also available @ Bet365 and Carib]
Little to choose between them on paper: both have won twice on Tour this year and both have won this event. However, Furyk's record in this event is second only to Woods - no-one else has a lower average finishing position that has played here at least 5 times. In 14 starts at Muirfield Village, he has 10 top-25 finishes and has never missed the cut (he was 2nd to Woods last year); Els can't match that. In terms of the predicted 'Memorial Weather', Furyk is generally the better wet weather player and in terms of the quickness of the greens, Els did point to his failings in dealing with their speed following his loss of all nine Skins to Mickelson in today's match. Finally, there is the Wentworth angle. Two weeks ago, Els came in for enormous criticism of his redesign of the home of the BMW PGA Championship. In his own words: "If they had criticisms they could've handled it differently. That's the sad part of the whole week, a lot of the guys I've known for a very long time came out and basically put the knife in and I don't really appreciate that." Naturally, he didn't play particularly well that week, and there may still be some hangover from that very public embarrassment.
